Kind of not wanting a bridal party at this rate

I never thought I would be this person. I know that no one will care about the wedding the way I do. I totally accept that and am fine with that. I'm just tired of cattiness and drama, I'm not that type of person and I never have been. I honestly don't have many girlfriends for that reason; because...

I never thought I would be this person. I know that no one will care about the wedding the way I do. I totally accept that and am fine with that. I'm just tired of cattiness and drama, I'm not that type of person and I never have been. I honestly don't have many girlfriends for that reason; because I can be blunt most of the time. My cousin, who is a bridesmaid is causing so much drama between my mom and myself. My cousin doesn't currently have a job right now, because she called in too much at her old job; I was planning on just sending the information for Azazie dresses this week. That way they can order whenever they feel like, plus I think they have a sale during the holidays in case anyone wanted to take advantage of that. My parents and cousin have completely discouraged me from sending anything this week. They keep saying you don't need to do this, you are right I don't. But my MOH and my other bridesmaid have been asking about it so they can save up money and my MOH wants to take advantage of the sale during the holidays. My cousin literally asked me to wait till she has money to send anything. I guess I don't understand why I can't send it then she can buy it when she has the money.


My cousin also texted me this morning, she and her ex-husband are not getting along well and are having issues with their custody arrangement. She told she had hired another attorney to represent in the case and told me the retainer when we were drinking one night. I work at a law firm as a legal assistant and thought what she paid was crazy, but not my business. So this morning she texted me asking me a question about placement, I can't give her legal advice (it's against the law) and the family law attorney I work for is on vacation this week. So I asked her why she doesn't contact her attorney. She said she didn't have an attorney, which is also one of the reasons she listed as to why she can't afford her dress right now. As I said it doesn't matter when she buys the dress, she buy it whenever she wants to. She then told me my wedding is a major burden on her. My mom is paying for her hotel room, my cousin's kids outfits for the wedding, I am paying for everyone's hair to be done and all my cousin needs to purchase is 109 dollar dress in the next year. I'm so beyond hurt right now. I'm trying not to cry at work, I don't want to burden anyone or have my wedding be a burden on anyone. I honestly feel like my MOH is the only one who even cares about my feelings. My other bridesmaid is having health problems so I don't want to bother her. I honestly feel bad even bothering my MOH too. My FH is telling me I'm not a burden and not asking much from them. But I feel so guilty about everything.

    Yeah I know she has too many issues right now. My other 2 girls are happy, I sent them the dress information. My FH thinks my cousin is jealous right now too. I'm just going to go about my planning and ignore her. Seems to be the best idea right now

    I agree with your FH 100%. If anything your cousin is being a burden on you. Your not me, but if you were I'd kick the cousin out of the wedding. She's causing too much chaos. If its too hard on her (thought I don't understand how) then she can just come to the wedding instead of being in it and than she can figure out her own dress, arrangements, etc.

    Don't let her get to you. Your idea is a great one! These things will happen throughout the entire wedding planning process, what you have to do is stick to your guns and do what you feel is right. Thankfully is sounds like your FH is a great guy and is sticking by you. Smiley heart Good luck.

    I see nothing wrong with you sending the text and she purchases when she has the funds, however she seems like she has a lot going on maybe she can not be a moh right now

    Frankly, that seems like a pretty petty thing to be upset about with your cousin, unless she's bugging you regularly with legal questions and you've already asked her to stop.
