Petty?

Tammy, on November 17, 2016 at 11:51 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 24

Ok so I'm having an issue with one of my unofficially asked bridesmaids. First off, she got married about a month ago and I stood up in her wedding. We bought a near 200$ dress and I wore it before the wedding to a different event. I didn't realize that this would be such a big deal. I thought about it how I would personally handle it and I wouldn't care as long as the dress was still in good condition for my wedding. Well the bride through a fit and our relationship has been a little weird since then. So fast forward a month and a half and I ask her to go to a bridal show with me. As we're leaving a guy from one of the booths comes up and offers 1 of us a free personalized bridal robe. We both reach for it and she snatches it from him and just looks at me and says we'll my sister is getting married too. Am I wrong for being upset? I mean she's had her day and her sister didn't come so I feel like I should've gotten it.

    I could see why she would be potentially upset about you wearing your dress to a different event prior to her wedding. What would have happened if it got snagged or stained really bad? Would you have had enough time to order a new one before her wedding? That would probably make me nervous as well. As for the robe, yeah it was kinda crappy that she snagged it, but I think you should let it go. If the relationship is already rocky, I don't think it's worth getting up in arms about over a robe

    It honestly doesn't sound like you have the greatest relationship. She may still be hurt that you wore your dress before her wedding. That doesn't excuse her behavior though. I think you need to communicate with her better and try to straighten things out. You don't want this drama for the next 10 months.

    I personally don't agree with wearing the dress before the wedding. She probably wanted it to have the wow factor with all her main girls there on her big day.

    But i also don't agree with her being rude at the expo. That def shows she is not over it.

    At the end, its just a robe, like did u really need it?!

    Just get a cute one that u actually like

    She sounds bitter over something really petty. If you had worn the dress before my wedding, I probably would have just been "meh". But if got upset like her, at least I know I would have the common sense to let it go once we talkes it out. That's the adult thing to do. She seems more upset about it than needed now. She had her moment to let you know how upset she was. She doesn't need to keep on about it

    If you want a bridal robe, buy one. You can't control how other people act, only yourself- so don't be petty in return. I wouldn't be thrilled that you wore the dress before the wedding either.

    I guess the main point is you invited her too a bridal show for YOU and she got crazy snatching robes, which most likely should've been for you, because you guys were there for YOU! Not her sister. Lol she's too much. Once again this is why I don't have a bridal party because people get too caught I their feelings when it's not even about them. lol this is too much.

    This is pointless. I'm sorry... no I'm not, this is stupid. Y'all aren't real friends.

    This is a ridiculous argument. Robes are at Target for cheap. Not worth it.

    How do you unofficially ask someone to be a bridesmaid?

    Does unofficially asked mean you're still thinking of asking to be your bridesmaid for your wedding next September? Or that she assumes she'll be a bridesmaid because you were one for her last month?

    Regardless if the robe snatch was petty or not it's irrelevant at this point because you two won't be friends 20 years from now when you're looking at your wedding photos and wondering why the hell you ever asked Miss Robe Snatcher to be a BM in the first place since you no longer are in contact except on fb where you half heartedly click 'like' on each other's milestones. Don't ask her. Don't add unnecessary BM stress to the next 10 months of planning.

    If you haven't asked her yet then I wouldn't. I might think it odd that you wore the dress before her wedding but it wouldn't upset me. Heck you could have done it with her never knowing about it.

    The robe thing while not a big deal was really immature and mean. Let her keep her stinking robe and she can maybe be a guest. Depending on her behavior from here.

    I wouldnt have gotten pissed per se if you wore the dress before hand, afterall you paid for it. However, i admit it probably would have bothered me.

    I could see why she was upset about the dress. I don't think you should have work it IMO. I'm wondering if that caused her reaction with the robe? Bc that was rude but I'm thinking she's pissed about the dress still. I don't think she should stay mad over this, nothing happened to the dress - but I do agree it shouldn't have been worn before the wedding.

    This sounds like a fight I would have in high school.

    Have you actually asked her to be in the wedding? If not, then hold off. Don't ask any of your bridal party until about six months before the wedding. This whole relationship sounds childish, btw.

    This is petty girl nonsense. These are the types of female friendships I ended when I was maybe 22. Life got a lot better.

    I would have been a little miffed if you wore the dress before my wedding but for entirely selfish reasons, so I definitely wouldn't have made a big deal about it and I'd definitely be over it by now.

    Are you sure this friendship is what you think it is?

    She should get over the dress because she's married and it's done.

    You should get over the robe because it's a free robe.

    You should see each other less.

    If you're relationship is this rocky why would you ask her to be your bridesmaid? Don't waste your time with her and ask someone you actually have a good relationship with.

    You guys need to talk to clear the air. I wouldn't have been thrilled that you wore the dress before hand but whatever it's not the end of the world. Grabbing for a robe is a bit much but at the end of the day it's just a robe that you hadn't planned on getting anyway so I would let it go. But the weirdness you guys should talk about, if it's your friend then when you have issues you just have to talk about it.
