Drama Drama Drama, I know. I don't know why weddings bring out the crazy in people.. maybe it's me, who knows..
I can already anticipate the answers, but I think I just need to vent. I got an e-mail from one of my bridesmaids saying that she didn't have the guts to tell me BEFORE I bought the dress, but now she has thought about it some more and she thinks I made a big mistake in buying the dress I did. She says I will "look back at my photos in 20 years with horror." Her e-mail went on to say that lace looks hideous (yes, she used that word) in photos and I would look much better in a silk a-line.
It's not so much a question to you all about what I should do about the dress, because obviously I am keeping it, but what would you do about the nasty e-mail??
I'm trying so hard to be kind to this person, but she is making it so difficult. I really regret asking her to be a bridesmaid. She's my fiance's brother's wife and I was in her WP (what a nightmare that was) so I felt obligated to ask her. Even my FFIL advised me against asking her, saying "you know what she's like." So I guess I brought this all on myself.
I think I'm just hurt and shocked she wrote that mean e-mail and I need to vent. I told FH and he just said, "we all told you this would happen when you asked her." Ahhh I was trying to be nice and build a relationship with her, but obviously I made a huge mistake.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Oh, and for good measure, here is my dress:
Now, I don't think I look fat or anything. I'm 5"8 130 lbs, and I'm having my hair down in soft waves. My mom, sister, other maids all love it. A stranger had tears in her eyes when I tried it on in the store
