Non-engaged friend wants to try on wedding dresses at my appointment- is this rude?

I think she's nuts! I'd rather go alone if that was the case.

It's YOUR appointment she needs to be there for SUPPORT not her own selfish desires. God forbid she tries on a dress you like and you get self conscious about yourself because you feel she looks better in it or she says that's the dress she wants but you want it too....it can just lead to a big mess....

Um, its your time for dress-up not hers. She can schedule her own appointment.

My appointment was for both wedding and bridesmaids dresses at the same time...It was fun...If this is the "biggest" day that you have to look forward to, then I feel bad for you. I don't look at my wedding as "my big day"...This wedding is "a" big day for all of my family and friends in attendance. It is the union of not only me and fh, but of everyone in our lives...Just some perspective.

Have her stay at home. this isnt a movie. this is a professional store and your time to shine and shop.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

She says she's going to be bored sitting there alone because it takes a long time to clip each dress on, and this will make it more fun for both of us. And she says I'll probably go to a bunch of other stores before I actually buy a dress, and that it's not like she's even buying a dress, so it's not like we'll be fighting over the same one. She says that I need to be considerate of the people around me and not act like bridezilla just because it's my wedding day!!

Have her try on bridesmaids dresses. It will help if you have an idea of what you want now.

Well, if she suggested she go with you and not you suggested she go with her, then maybe that was the reason she wanted to go.

I think it's weird, but not necessarily rude.

It took my consultant like 20 seconds to clip my dresses on. She can deal.

If your "friend" is behaving like this now, I would recommend that you not include her in *any* wedding planning activities or in your bridal party. You don't need that kind of attitude around you. Find a more supportive friend to go dress shopping with you.

And dresses DO NOT take that long to put on and take off.

Yes

Yes! Very! I think we've all seen enough bride day episodes to know what happens! Every one should have their bridal moment and not have to share! She goes with you, Than later you can go with her.

That's really rude. I'd go without her.

Sounds like a clusterfuck with of both of you trying on dresses but only one of you seriously shopping having to find the other one for her opinion.

NOPE. she can deal. let her sip champagne or something with some magazines.

Wow, super weird.

It's your day, not hers. Don't let her try anything on. She can schedule her own appointment.

I would definitely not bring her. She thinks you are a bridezilla because you want to try on dresses alone at your appointment ummm ya... You are the bride. She sounds like a selfish friend. Good luck, I hope you find a gorgeous dress!

I think your friend is being selfish. Is it going to kill her to wait for your dress to get done up? She can try on bridesmaid dresses and even so, I think she shouldn't. I wouldn't want to go with her and shame on her for pulling the "Bridezilla" card. I don't know what her problem is.

Definitely rude and totally unfair. Plus if she wants to try on dresses the salon will require her to make an appointment and then if they ask when her wedding date is and she doesn't have one because she isn't even engaged, then they're NOT going to be happy. The store won't want to take the time to put someone in dresses that has no plan of buying a dress. That is not just rude to you but also rude to the shop. Explain that part to her so that she sees this is not just like trying on prom dresses. Tell her you need her there not trying on dresses so she can get pictures for you.
