Mistake in choosing bm

Amina, on September 21, 2019 at 5:58 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
So my big day is only 3.5 months away. And I currently have 10 bridesmaids. I think I may have made a mistake asking 2 of the girls. One of them is my FH’s brothers gf who i’ve known for some years but still not really that close with. Another is my FH’s cousins gf, she and her bf lives with us for over a year which includes times before we were engaged and time we were. They’re the only bridesmaids that are close besides FH’s younger sister and they can be so wishy washy. I feel like they treat me like I annoy them. The one who lived with me would literally talk to me while we’re out with the family and then 2 min later just walk off with the brothers gf and not talk to me for the rest of the night out of nowhere. I don’t usually make new female friends because of behavior like this but I feel like since they’re the only close family my age around I’m forced to “hang out with them”. It really annoys me that they treat me like this and I feel like at this point I’m kinda forced to keep them as bridesmaids. They even told me they won’t even be around the day of the wedding until after 3pm (5:30 ceremony) because they don’t want to get their makeup done earlier and chose someone an hour away and tried to make it my fault. Anyone have any advice moving forward dealing with them? Not only will they be involved in the biggest day of my life now but will be around constantly afterwards as well. I’m at the point where I can just cut them off and not feel bad but I know the family will be disappointed

    This is such a tough situation because like you said you'll constantly be around them after the wedding also! Have you tried talking to them, you can try and just be genuine on how they are making you feel! Try friends/family should understand and should not want you to feel this way around your big day!

    Oh no! that is awful!!! I personally would be so nervous to cut them off BUT if it's going to give you peace and make you feel better than do it!

    I am sorry you have to go through this, they should be helping you make your day special not difficult.

    I think what helps is that they won’t be around for the morning of the wedding so at least there won’t be any stress the day off and afterwards I can just avoid them

    My half sister is NOT showing up for me either. She’s going to homecoming the night before my wedding! Who does that? Self little brat that’s who. If it wasnt 14 days before my wedding I’d cut her out and not think twice. Cut your losses girl. Or, change your expectations and try to take the high road...(and then vent on WW..lol)
