Is it normal to lose friends in the process?

I lost a co-moh and a bridesmaid and still have 7 months to go. The co-moh I lost didn't even talk to me about it just text me that I probably shouldn't have her in the wedding then blocked me from all contact because she wasn't very happy with the other co-moh. Yesterday I lost a bridesmaid because she wanted to just do a ponytail and didn't want to pay for anything. I just wanted everybody to have nice hair but I told her we could do her hair but she refused it. I told them all up front we couldn't afford pay for everybody's dresses, hair, makeup, etc because we are on a tight budget. We have the venue of our dreams but we are keeping the wedding extremely small, like 50 people. 

How do you handle the stress of other people?

I have lost 1 bridesmaid but honestly, her loss. She hadn't made any effort to see me since I gave her the bridesmaid proposal gift in July. I tried to schedule all bridesmaids dress appointments around her (the other 2 work night shift and I do too) and she still couldn't meet up with us and then stopped responding to anything. I've decided that it may be best to do without her. This bridesmaid didn't want to have her hair done either and wasn't thrilled to have to pay for a dress (even though I was in her wedding 3 years ago). I absolutely feel your pain! I hope you find joy instead of the stress that other people are bringing. I've tried to take the stand that it is supposed to be my day to be a little selfish instead of how selfless I am every other day.
