So, over the last few weeks, 3 of my 4 bridesmaids bailed on me (1 had a death in the family, another's husband is having heart surgery that week, and the third just bailed in favor of her boyfriend's trade show); the bachelorette party got cancelled (for those same reasons), and now, my shower got cancelled as well because 12 out of 15 people said 'no.' (Long story short, my MOH insisted on having the shower at her new house, which is 70 miles away.) We tried to reschedule the shower with my Mom hosting it at a later date at a closer venue, but it just looked weird to send out another invitation to the same people for an identical type of party.)
The thing is, I busted my back side for all my friends' showers when they got married or had kids, and now I feel like I am being slighted because no one wants to make time for me. I was so mad that I just ripped the entire "pre-wedding parties memories" section out of my engagement memory book and burned it. It is just too painful for me to think about this, and honestly, it's casting a pall over the whole month leading up to the wedding, which is supposed to be a happy time.
I'm at the point where I just feel the need to vent. It seems that the guys don't have these kind of problems.
