Go with the flow ??

Its 8weeks before my wedding is here. i have everything i need except for some minor details....my BMs dresses!!! i picked them out in MAY!! why they havnt gotten them yet i have no idea..the dresses are quit simple and i think its more of not wanting to travel to go it more than the money situation. idk. My deepest fear is that the retail store isnt going to have my dress anymore & i have stated that to them and its like it goes in one ear and out the other. i dont want to be a bridezilla, but my wedding is coming up and if they cant get the dress i been telling them to get since beginning of May, than i guess ill have no BMs. 
I havnt said anything to them since beinging of July. When should i bring it up again??

If you are that worried, you could contact the retail store and ask the store to put that dress on hold for you in a range of sizes. I had a friend who did this, and the store gave her BMs a week to come in and buy the dress. Once the dress is on hold, contact the BMs ONCE, let them know the dress will be on hold until whatever date, and then STOP nagging them about it. Side note, you sound pretty nasty and judgmental with your comments about how your friends spend their money. They are adults, and what they do or don't do with their money is NOT your business.

Eh, I got a real "they spend all their money on STUPID THINGS and not on MY THINGS" vibe from what she said, which rubbed me the wrong way, but I guess I could've read it wrong.

Its a place called Group USA. It shows them online, but im not too sure if its in store still. Im heading up there on tuesday to go to Davids Bridal for my alterations and im going to swing by and check. Just getting nervous thats alll

Are these dresses within your BMs budgets?  Did you ask them for a budget or let them have any input on which dress they'll be wearing?  You said your told them which dress you picked out.

We live in a small town so the nearest dress shop/david bridal is 30mins away by the interstate.
its not a bridal salon. its a big dress shop. carries prom dresses, wedding gowns, mother dresses etc. My second choice is already gone, thats why im getting worried this is about to go as well.
The Dress is 80$ and they helped me finalized the decison. They havnt gave me a reason behind the waiting but than again i havnt asked either.

[QUOTE]Maybe you need to go all storm trooper...drive to their homes, throw them in your car, and drive their unmotivated asses to the store. Refuse to let them stop at McDonalds for a potty break or Starbucks for a frappucino until they've bought. the. damn. dress. already. Once they've bought their dresses, then they will be allowed caffeine, potty breaks, lunch, cocktails, and whatever else their unmotivated little hearts desire.
