I've lost all contact with my maid of honor

Mikayla, on January 6, 2017 at 12:51 PM Posted in Planning 0 40

Help!!! So my maid of honor and I have been friends for a long time now. We work at the same company and she got promoted to being a forman aka boss at the company we work for. She volunteered to do my engagement pictures and when I asked if we could do them something always "came up" every time I asked. My future sister in law does photography so I expressed my frustration to her and she volunteered to do my engagement pictures instead. Ever since I've had my engagement pictures published on social media (October 2016) my maid of honor hasn't spoken to me since and now I just found out that she deleted and blocked me from Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and etc. Is this her way of trying to back out of the wedding without telling me? Help!!!

    Didn't you post this same issue a week or two ago? And we all told you that you need to relax and let things breathe and talk to her like an adult. You shouldn't have asked them to do the pictures in the first place.

    Is this different than last time?

    Have you actually spoken with her yet?

    This is why we say to use professionals, not friendors. You didn't just lose a photographer, you probably lost a MOH and a long time friend.

    No I have not but I asked advice from my mom and she told me to drop it and leave it as it is because her actions have shown that she wants no part in the wedding. If your familiar with Pinterest, she had a board on her page about maid of honor duties and I've seen that she deleted that board. I'm just confused, because if she's upset about the pictures I would imagine she would have talked to me instead of blocking me on every social media website.

    Sounds like you may need a new MOH

    Um you definitely asked us. You hid it because you didn't like your answers, but we can see your history.

    I work in construction and my maid of honor aka boss does the scheduling and ever since her and I got into this tiff, she has cut my hours by 10-20 hours a week, she took away my company vehicle I have been assigned with since the day I've started. She has made everything very complicated for me at work. I mean she even changed my times on my time sheet. How do I have a calm conversation with someone who has made my work life and personal life such a nightmare.

    If it's affecting work, you may need to talk to HR. A supervisor should not penalize you over a personal disagreement. If they are cutting back and everyone is having work hours cut that is a different story.

    "How do I have a calm conversation with someone who has made my work life and personal life such a nightmare."

    That is more of a reason to have a calm conversation and not fly off the handle. And if it doesn't go well, do what Fall Bride said and go to her boss.

    @fall bride. Yes. There is way more to the story than everyone thinks. I went out to a job from 545 in the morning till 1pm and no one on the crew showed up and they forgot to call and cancel so my maid of honor told me for that day that I was only going to be getting 2 hours of that pay which is not correct. The only time she will talk to me is only when she wants to bitch at me for something I did wrong.

    I'm mentally so frustrated and in tears because of this. And again I get bashed on this forum when all I want is positive feedback.

    To be honest, your MOH deleted you and blocked you, something else is going on more than just pictures. She may have offered, but if she wasn't being active on her offer, then she has no right to get mad if you find someone else.

    Did you at least tell her that you were? And really, if she ends the friendship because of this, then she is just petty and maybe yall weren't friends, or something bigger is here.

    As previous posters stated, this is why you don't use friendors.

    You need to reach out to her and see what happened. Don't replace her, but know that I'd she doesn't respond to your attempts, something really is amiss and you did all you could. Also, taking personal into work is petty and crossed over into business and effects business..you guys need to handle this like adults.

    All you want is positive feedback, but you're opening yourself to ALL feedback. Why should anyone waste their time commenting and trying to help if you're just going to hide the thread anyway?

    No one bashed you...

    But can you see how its a little off putting that you came on here pretending that you've never brought up this very specific situation before. Why lie? Why not just say there is an update and she's messing with your work?

    I don't get the point of (unsuccessfully) trying to pull the wool over our eyes. It makes me feel that your probably exaggerating or lying about parts of your story because, hey, you lied before.

    Okay, see you've gotten positive feedback. You've been told to TALK to your MOH. Instead you are subscribing to some teenage drama the likes of which I haven't seen since I tuned my teenage brother out at Christmas. If you are old enough to get married, you are old enough to talk face-to-face with this woman and find out what's going on.

    FTR, you're both acting like children.

    Frienship aside, you need to talk to HR or her boss or supervisor or someone and explain this situation. It is illegal to bring personal issues into the workplace between a superior and an inferior.

    Not related to work, you should call her and explain things. If she doesn't answer or doesn't call you back, I would consider the friendship over.

    My maid of honor has no filter and she has no patience when you try to talk to her. The claws come out and she just starts yelling. I'm honestly scared to approach her. I'm not the greatest at having conversations like this. I have ADD and when someone approaches me in a non calm manner I back off become emotional and shut down and don't know what to say. I think of the what ifs like what if I talk to her and the conversation goes bad is she gonna try to screw me over more in my job. I'm sorry for all the rude comments I've said to people on this forum and my last one. I find it very hard for myself to take negative criticism and I don't know why. I apologize I should be acting more mature than this. Smiley sad
