This past weekend we had the most beautiful wedding. It was beyond my wildest dreams, it was intimate and filled with joy and love, a total blast. Except for my MOH. She single-handedly almost ruined the wedding roughly every 20 minutes from start to finish. Every single member of the bridal party is mad at my MOH and even my wedding planner got fed up. At this point I don’t see the friendship being salvageable. Here are just a few tidbits of her behavior, enjoy!:
· Did not do a single thing for the entire wedding, except print a letter I forgot to print for my mother. She printed it in ridiculously oversized font and I couldn’t use it.
· Her boyfriend said he couldn’t come because of work. He works remotely. The day before the wedding she calls and asks if we can include him because he now “might” be able to make it.
· She brought no money to the entire destination weekend.
· She got wasted during hair + makeup, fell asleep and smeared off her entire face and ruined her hair. We were late to wedding because we had to get her sober.
· She didn’t know our last name, her guess at the wedding was far off the mark.
· She drove us around and during the drive announced she didn’t have her contacts in, almost killing us multiple times.
· She got absolutely smashed at the wedding, and could barely make it through pictures without other bridesmaids forcing her to drink water.
· Immediately after the ceremony she changes into jeans, cowboy boots and a graphic t-shirt, until a bridesmaid forces her back into her dress. She claimed she “thought it was over.”
· Half an hour later she changes A SECOND TIME into the jeans and boots. I catch her last minute and tell her to put her dress back on. She doesn’t, and spends half the wedding in jeans, cowboy boots, and a graphic tee.
· She throws an absolute crying fit on the floor of the dressing room halfway through the wedding, absolutely refusing to do her toast because she’s too scared. Follows me around crying about it until another bridesmaid peels her off of me. I cut her speech to avoid the ensuing disaster.
· She cries the entire time during dinner at the head table because I cut her speech and she “spent the whole year working up to it” and now she won’t be able to prove herself. Both my husband and another bridesmaid have to pull her outside and tell her to buck up.
· Facetimes her boyfriend during the wedding. At this point I spend the rest of the night avoiding her before I start to cry.
· We have a weekend cabin which only fits all people if they stick to their bed assignments. She gets too drunk again and falls asleep in two friends’ bed, and vomits in it, forcing those friends to sleep on the couch.
· Wakes up the next morning while I am at our last family brunch before my family flies back home. Blows up my phone asking where I am because she's anxious and having a panic attack, which she is not. Tells me (not asks) that she needs a ride because she left her car at the venue, which is not allowed.
· She decides to leave early that day. We’ve already paid for the entire weekend of activities. She gets upset because no one begs her to stay (I know this because I overheard her facetiming her boyfriend that “not a single girl asked her to stay.”) She doesn’t say goodbye to anyone.
· Later texts me that she’s sorry her anxiety got in the way and she couldn’t be there as best she could. I don’t respond. Later texts me that I should have known better than to make her MOH and that she “pushed through for me” and was sorry that she had to go home early because she was really sick and had 4 panic attacks. She was not sick, she was hungover.
· We get the wedding photos back, her drunk face and doing the wrong pose in every shot ruin pretty much every photo.
· This one is more of a blessing, but she did not even bother to meet my dad.
· She is the sole guest not get us a gift or a card. She can easily afford to, just didn’t bother.
