moh frustration 😭

Jobelle, on August 9, 2019 at 1:55 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 6
Just a little back story my MOH is my bestfriend of 8 almost 9 years.
Whenever we’re together it’s like time hasn’t passed and we click like we speak everyday but in reality we don’t. We have our own lives and I’m fully aware of that. I’m a mother myself and I have a full time job on top of that. So I get the idea of having a busy life and no energy. But I’m getting married in December (4 MONTHS AWAY!) I feel like it’s crunch time and I need to get A LOT done.
My MOH always seems so busy that she hasn’t really done anything for the wedding so far. I had a DIY day with my bridal court to get invitations done and she couldn’t make it because of work which I understood. But since then I’ve tried to ask her to meet with me to try on her bridesmaids dress because I need to order the dresses ASAP. I even simply asked to spend some time with her since it’s been over a month since we’ve since each other let alone had a real conversation. She always says she busy but in the past two weeks alone on social media I see she goes out partying and is hanging out with other friends and it makes me feel like theres no priority in her life for me or my wedding.
i confronted her about it and she said “As far as I know I only missed invitations? ..as far as wedding things go, if you need help lmk” like WHAT?! obviously there’s more to a wedding than just invitations and as my MOH and bestfriend I’d expect her to be more involved or more passionate about wanting to be involved, like instead of waiting for me to give her a “job”, take the initiative and be like “hey, I know you got invitations done, what else is there to do that I can help with?”

I just wish she WANTED to be more involved....am I crazy?!

    Technically, a MOH or BM isn't required to help plan the wedding. All they need to do is buy the correct dress and stand with you at your wedding. I honestly don't think MOH understands what goes into wedding planning based on the info you've given.

    However, I do think it's weird that she seems to be avoiding you. But that's not a wedding issue. That's a friendship issue, unfortunately. I hope she finally agrees to sit down and talk to determine the state of your friendship. Wishing you the best Smiley smile

    I totally agree, I think the issues we have our more about our friendship than it is about the wedding. It just sucks that they’re surfacing at such a crucial moment in my life...I really hope she comes around.

    I agree with the PP. I think sitting down and talking about your friendship and where it's going is the bigger issue here. My best friend is my MOH too, and I would be really upset if she was acting the way yours is. Hopefully she is open minded enough to hear your concerns and you two can work on it. Good luck!

    You aren't crazy for wishing for those things. BUT reality is, no one is going to be as excited about your wedding as you are....and more times than not, the bridal party doesn't help much with planning. It's best to tackle these things on your own, with your FH, close family (like a sibling or mother), OR specifically ask for help when you need help for specific things.

    I realized they don't ever get as excited or into it as brides aha. One of my bridesmaids always offered to help if needed but I just did everything else myself but I hear you - you just want them to be more excited or seem like they want to be more involved

    You can't legislate feelings, and like others say: No one will be as excited for your wedding as you. Let it go. All that is required is she show up on time and be dressed, pressed and sober.
