I'm selfish

hey ladies I was wondering do you think I'm being selfish I asked my three bridesmaids not to get pregnant during these next five months before the wedding only because I wanted to be the best of the best time we are able to only because I wanted to be the best of the best time we are able to drink...

Hey ladies I was wondering do you think I'm being selfish I asked my three bridesmaids not to get pregnant during these next five months before the wedding only because I wanted to be the best of the best time we are able to only because I wanted to be the best of the best time we are able to drink and just have a great time plus they already got their dresses So within 5 months of being pregnant you are going not to be able to fix her dress LOL but I know it can happen I'm prepared for it specially with the virus going around nobody has nothing to do but have sex LOL

To be fair, I’ve been asked to buy my bridesmaid dress over 6 months before the wedding a couple of times and I also bought my girls’ dresses almost 8 months before the wedding. HOWEVER, I paid for the dresses and never told them “don’t get pregnant or fat so that you can fit in your dress.” How much alterations they ended up needing was on them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can’t imagine telling someone to put their life plans on hold for MY wedding. Yikes.

I think it's normal to have feelings and concerns of bridesmaids getting pregnant but I would NEVER tell someone what they can or can't do with their body. I'd never request this, their world doesn't revolve around me. My cousin (Matron of Honor) actually planned her pregnancy and got pregnant lol, she planned it so she'd be due in July so she did take some consideration for me because the wedding is October. Had she been pregnant during my reception, we'd make it work. It'd suck if she would go into labor or can't make it, I'd be honest I'd be bummed but I would never make a suggestion to someone when to get pregnant and when not to.

Yes. It's selfish, inappropriate and none of your business what they choose to do with their lives. You getting married does not mean you have control over your BM's lives. I personally would be seriously reconsidering my friendship with anyone who had the sheer gall to request something so ridiculous. Be prepared to lose friends if you continue on like this.

Also, you can't have fun with your friends if they can't drink with you? That says nothing good about your friendship with them. Don't get me wrong. I drink. My friends drink. We have fun drinking together. BUT - we also have a ball together stone cold sober. Alcohol is not a requirement to be able to have fun together. Something to think about...
