    Oh yes. I have several but these are bad. The one that's the worst I won't post. It gets me pretty upset and the person is family.

    Shortly after I got engaged a friend of mine got engaged, I mean shortly like 2 days after. Then when I started planning my wedding she did too. Almost like competition for her.

    I have a cousin that kept complaining that the engagement is too long and is trying to get us to go to a courthouse to get married, trying to get me to change the bridesmaids dress.

    Omg!!! Same thing happened to me. Needless to say, due to her rush in trying to compete, she caused problems in her relationship and now her wedding is off...

    As the saying goes, “weddings and funerals bring out the best and worst of people”.

    Oh my goodness. My friend decided to put a rush on hers and is stressing out. She's not happy that I won't give her my undivided attention.

    That’s terrible for her but she shouldn’t be putting any of that stress on you. The reality is that the one thing we’ve all been told is that planning a wedding is hard. So if she’s rushing, the stress is the natural consequence. Weddings are stressful when you have all the time. Lol let alone if you rush it

    I do have that but I always kind of attribute it to them having a lot going on in their lives and them not being the most organised people. I guess that's also me having the benefit of the doubt for people though.

    Exactly, I have mentioned that putting it off might be good because of her finances and very small budget.

    Only the grooms women she was having a hard time finding a dress in the color we wanted so I was like well and shade of gray or silver or even a blue will due. When you pick out your dress let us know we will tell the other grooms women the shade. So after a year she finally chose a dress. We told the other girl who picked out a dress in the same shade then the first girl wants to change her dress.we said it is to late others fhavr a dress according to her color. Then I tried to help her find one she would like more. She said well you said no to the one I found. Argh. Now she wants us to book two rooms on our honeymoon. cause she can get a good deal in the honeymoon cruise. No just no. She also has complained we don’t want to go out drinking the night before we get married, that we are having a sweetheart table, that rehearsal dinner is not at a bar and kids are coming , also that kids are invited to the wedding. Next time she says anything I am telling her I have waited 38 years for my wedding. While I want everyone to be comfy and having a good time at the End of the day is is Eric and mine wedding. We talk about all of our choices and decided together. When it is her wedding she can do things how she wants.

    I didn’t have a bridal party, so no extra stress, cost or drama for anyone. 👍 I did lose one friend during planning. But I think she may have separated herself from our group because everyone but her was experiencing new changes (getting married, buying a new home/having a baby, etc). She said couldn’t go to my local reception which bummed me out—haven’t heard from her since.
