*venting*

I just feel like I need to vent about a couple things 😫




First one of my bridesmaids and closest friends over the years seems to be completely disinterested in anything to do with my wedding. She dated a guy for a year and they broke up in April and we got engaged at the end of July. Ever since we got engaged she keeps saying things like, “It’s really hard for me to be around happy couples right now” etc etc. Which I understood and was sensitive to at first..but at this point I feel like it’s been 8 months and she should be over it..I understand breakups can be hard but.... Also I have been with my fiancé for almost 5 years now and 3 months into dating this dude she was teasing me with things like “ooh what if we got engaged before you?!” So that has been a little annoying and ridiculous from the start.




Then she REFUSES to try on bridesmaid dresses. She keeps complaining that she has gained some weight and simply refuses to go try on a dress because she says “my body won’t be like this in a year”. Well regardless we need to decide on dresses like now and we can’t continue to avoid it until your body is where you want it to be. If that was the case would any of us ever buy any clothes?? 😂




And then anything I’m excited about she just couldn’t care less it seems. I found my wedding band, I picked out my invitations, etc etc and when I share with her she either doesn’t respond at all or she responds with the least excitement possible..like “oh..cool”. I’ve tried to be sensitive to whatever her personal issues have been but like I said it’s been 8+ months now and at what point does she start to be excited and supportive to me?




Lastly..my wedding coordinator just tells me today that she’s pregnant! She will have a 3 month old at the time of my wedding. And this is not her full time job to begin with. I just really wonder how available and “in the game” she will be the month or two leading up to my wedding with a newborn.. It seems like this was not planned so I hate to think what her clients for that month are going to do.. but now I’m feeling worried too. I know it sounds bad but to be honest I would have never hired her if I knew she’d be having a baby a couple months before our wedding. UGH. That is all 😕

    I think you need to sit down to have a private conversation with your friend.

    How is your friend outside of wedding talk? As much as I’m also annoyed with your friend, you can’t force someone to be excited for your wedding. There’s a lot of truth in knowing that no one will be as excited for your wedding as you. Maybe you can find another friend to confide all your wedding plans with.

    Also, although 8 months is a long time, some people get over ex’s quickly and some more slowly. She probably just hasn’t found what methods work best with her.

    As for your wedding coordinator, I’m sorry, I don’t have any advice for that. I understand why you would be frustrated. Bring up these concerns with your coordinator. See if she’ll be getting an assistant or, more importantly, if she plans to go on any parental leave

    I experienced the same thing. My friend seemed uninterested because I’m no longer friends with a girl we were mutually friends with. She even told me she felt some type of way that the other friend wouldn’t be in the wedding or there as a guest! I was so hurt. As I felt she was choosing sides. But we eventually talked & everything worked out.

    Definitely talk with her. It sounds like its deeper than you and your wedding and she's going through some stuff. I know its frustrating and annoying, I totally get that. However, I think if you guys talk it out, things will get better.
