Horror stories

1. bridesmaid did not get her dress til 3 days before the wedding AND it needed alterations - when i had asked her prior to if she got a dress, she lied saying she did -.-

2. that same bridesmaid bought coachella tickets [same weekend as my bachelorette] but she knew the dates way before she got the tickets -.- so in other words she decided to do coachella over my bachelorette

My FH's ex-wife constantly meddling and trying to find a way to exclude FSS(10) from our wedding; be it sports, her what-nots... It started 8 months ago and died for a minute... and started again last night.

There's a shirt that's been taunting me on FB - it says;

Underestimate Me / That'll be Fun.... She's about to find out how true that is

OMG, she really went to Coachella the weekend of your bachelorette. That's kind of low and those tickets are not cheap.

Jealous people will find any way to make someone happy unhappy! Her son will end up getting mad at her if she tries to keep him.

YEA but to be honest i moved my bachelorette. not just cause of her but because overall it meant that my other friend could go. so it worked out in the end but still, that's kind of annoying -.-

I have one, when my fiance and I just got engaged I was super excited to text all my closest friends and family. I texted my best friend first who I was going to have as my bridesmaids. I sent a picture of the ring and told her we got engaged, she texted back with "cool" that really didn't bother me as much as when I told her it was his grandmothers ring and she wanted me to have it, she responded with "I knew it, I told my mom that ring looked like a used hammy down". That bothered me and it definitely upset my fiance. And after that comment I decided when I chose my bridesmaids she wouldn't be one of them. So a week goes by since I talked to her and she texted me asking who was going to be the maid of honor, I told her my mom of course. Anyone who knows me knows how close I am with my mom and knows she would be right by my side on my big day. So she took to Facebook talking about how I'm a horrible person and how I ruined her bucket lists. So I confronted her about it and told her how she wasn't even a close option to be a bridesmaid especially after her comments. After arguing on Facebook and text I just told her off and I didn't want her in my life anymore. We haven't spoken in a year now and it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. Now I didn't get rid of her all over that comment. This end in our friendship should have happened 10 years ago. When we started being friends in high school she was a really great friend to me, but once we graduated things quickly changed. She became pregnant at 19 and didn't have money or time to do anything whereas I had a full time job making really good money and was able to do whatever I wanted and had the money to buy what I wanted. So she always tried to make me feel like crap and always put me down for everything, because she was jealous. For 10 years I put up with this kind of treatment. She told me I wasn't allowed to get engaged and married until her and her long time boyfriend got married because it wouldn't be right for me and my boyfriend of 2 years to get married before her and her long time boyfriend. Yea she was just a terrible person who uses every single person she can. And it is a blessing she is out of my life now, I should have cut ties with her 10 years ago.

LOL... I agree. But I have to admit, I'm tempted to have her push me to my limit, because it's very close

I'm sorry! My closest friend and bridesmaid call and can't come because she get a new job and my FH's best man called and can't make it because his work is re opening the weekend of our wedding and won't let him have the time off.

The craziest things that have happen to me are my dreams! I had one the other night that my venue decorated for me and used random Christmas decor (our theme is rustic americana) and then my FH was in charge of food and drinks and he bought 2 12 packs and 5 pork tenderloinsXD . I had a dream last night that I could not get ready until an hour before the ceremony and my hair wouldn't curl and my makeup brushes looked clean but then once I put them to my face they would get black stuff where ever they touched me.

That is horrible! you should have to put your life on hold because she couldn't get her life together first.

Lol, I had plenty of dreams that were ridiculous. Some where I missed my plane or I forgot something at home. I had dreams that I couldn't to the airport. Anything that could go wrong, I probably dreamt. My FH has been telling me I been talking in my sleep a lot and sleep walking. Out of our four years of living together, he has never told me I did any of that before.

View Quoted Comment Exactly. And I tried to help her out all the time. I even tried to get her a job with me making what I was making, but she never went to the interview I set up for her. She just made excuses whenever I tried to help her get her life together.

Weird! I think the stress steeps out when we sleep.

1. I’m 36 days away from my wedding and am still waiting on 40 something people to rsvp!


2. Being asked silly questions and requests concerning the venue and hotel accommodations
3. Being consistently told ‘I’m gonna need a hotel room because I’m gonna get twisted!’
4. Not being ASKED, but invited single people REQUESTING a plus one for their new partners
5. Being messaged randomly by invited guests for a screenshot of the invite because they ‘lost or misplaced theirs’

My mother didn't like that her name wasn't on the invitations. (She did not help in any way.)

Declined the RSVP online, and then talked smack about me to the whole family.

None of them came. Half of them didn't even RSVP, so I had to either chase them down, or assume.

Only a few (mostly the young 'uns) are still talking to me.

Mind you, this was all after my mother completely embarrassed herself at the wedding shower. Her behavior was so appalling that my friends were literally apologizing to me every second they could get (...and I was standing there, thinking she had behaved remarkably well for her record). But she wouldn't let me speak with my ILs for *one second* alone - and they were leaving for Italy that night. She had been told, very specifically, to not buy me any kind of clothing (as in, I refused to give her my size, and said NO)... she got me lingerie for a co-ed wedding shower. And that's just the stuff my brain will let me remember.

SIL made my MOH cry. (My MOH is ... not a crier.) Didn't come to the rehearsal/dinner because of a "work event" - that ended up being a baseball game. That was rain delayed.

Priest told us, with 3 1/2 months to go, that he would not marry us in the Church. (DH is Catholic. ...I am not. DH insists it wasn't only my fault, but... well...) We had to scramble and find an officiant, and add the ceremony to our venue contract. The only blessing was that we had NOT ordered the invitations, yet, as DH had wanted to, because I wanted the specific details from the priest, first.

Day of?

Perfect. The *only things* that went wrong: I forgot my toothbrush and we had a pizza party before the ceremony in the bridal "suite". And a piece of lace on my neckline kept falling down.

That's it.

View Quoted Comment Right?? I've had some gems (2 weeks out now):
- my dress catches on fire
- the DJ plays only country, despite me asking him to stop- I have to smack the microphone out of my dad's hands during his toast (legit risk)But in all the versions I can remember so far, I always end up on the porch of the venue with a beer and my partner. So maybe that's the focus and I should just plan to sneak off. 😉

View Quoted Comment Oh my goodness! Maybe you should plan to sneak off lol.
