18 days and counting until our daughter walks down the aisle and her MOH decides to have another emotional breakdown. We have bought everyone dresses so they aren’t out any money. But, she is 24 years old and has another breakup after a five month relationship. One of considerations the Bride told both the MOH and the friend she started seeing, if the broke up or things didn’t work out, before her wedding that both of them would still be expected to be there, like grownups.


She is my daughters childhood BF and has done nothing asked of her. Either please host a bridal shower or bachelorette party and provide a downstairs soundtrack. Two things asked from her. The MOH, mother called my daughter a bridezilla and only thinking of herself and the most important person was the MOH. The Bride(my daughter) has trying calling and texting her, but she isn’t returning her phone messages.
I believe it is time to rip the band aid off and go on without the MOH. At this point I am willing to put aside 300.00 dress for day, than to be held hostage by an emotional MOH.
Have others been in similar situations and are outcomes willing to share?

    I am not sure why people are surprised that a bride, who her childhood friend is the MOH would still say this person has to show up to a wedding after a break up... moh or not why would you miss your bff wedding, but that is just me... in regards to the party, I believe a moh should organize a bachelorette not saying pay for everything but put effort in, not even as a moh but as a bff I would want to make sure my bff had the most amazing time. I do believe a bridal shower is a family duty. I do understand she wanted to make a playlist since there is no dj, break up or not if you offer something for your friend you should do it or if you can no longer do this task atleast let people know so plan b, c and d can come into play

    The bride announced before they were even broken up that in the case that the relationship failed both people would still "have" to show up for the wedding. That was a ridiculous and inappropriate thing to say.

    I think you're way too involved in the relationship between your daughter and her friend.

    Doesn't matter. The bride is wrong for expressing the thought, period.

    The bride sounds faultless in this story, but you're her mother so I dont buy it. She obviously said something rude to the MOH that has MOH mad.
    I'd literally do anything for my MOH. She's my ride or die. If that means asking a friend/cousin/whoever to not roll up to my wedding because they were in a relationship that didn't work out, I do it.
    It is strange that she's making a playlist, its even stranger that y'all chose $300 dresses and didn't pay to hire a dj or musician.Being a bride is a tiny, small part of life. Getting married and needing some support from some bridesmaids is a 2 way street. Just because I'm getting married doesn't give me a pass to stop being supportive of my friendships.Your view is completely self-centered. And if your daughter has a similar view, well, her friend not responding to her makes a lot of sense. And your daughter probably owes the girl an apology. You're over 2 weeks out. The playlist has plenty of time to get done. If you guys dont think it will, start it yourself. Should have been your daughter and her fiances job anyway.If MOH didn't throw a shower, then it's someone else's responsibility. I told my bridesmaids to not worry about a shower as that was a family responsibility. My great aunt and second cousin are throwing my shower, and my fiance's aunts are throwing a shower.My bachlorette party is a collaborative effort by all my bridesmaids. And the one heading it up isn't my MOH. She's contributing, but two of my bridesmaids are stronger when it comes to organizing adults.So throwing the MOH under the bus because no one else was willing to step up is also rude.

    Extremely high expectations? That's a bit much. MOH is an adult. If she was uncomfortable with taking that task on, she should have been an adult and said so at the time so other arrangements could be made. Making a soundtrack is not too much to ask. It's now more work to find a solution to this task at the last minute, when MOH could have easily said, this is too much for me. Which, BTW it's really not much to ask.

    First of all, no one should ever assign a BM or MOH to plan a party. Any close friend, or female relative, may volunteer to do a bachelorette or shower. Because closest friends are often in WP, they often volunteer. But if they do not volunteer, alone or with a group, it is considered extremely rude for bride, or family, to tell them to do one. It is like a gift of time spent planning, and money. Asking for more than someone wants to give is not nice. The parties are optional, not all bride's get them. Only if people volunteer. Many times friends and family not in WP are the first to volunteer, because they are not already paying for dresses, or travel, lodgings, or grooming . I hope you folks apologize for being presumptuous, assuming she will do what you tell her to. Bride and groom are responsible for planning things, getting to get her music, anything. And only those who wish to do extra things, do. And between the party and soundtrack, you have been over the line.

    I agree. It's like announcing , this is the Me, Me, Me show, and however upsetting any future event may be for you, make sure to put ME the bride first. Who does that? How incredibly self-involved.
