Bridal Shower Vent - ppl were talking smack

I'll try to make a long story short... Here's some background: I got engaged December 2012 and my BFF (also my MOH) got engaged February 2011. I am getting married June 16th and she is getting married June 2nd. Her bridal shower, planned by her mother and sister (MOH), was two weekends ago. My shower, planned by my mom and MOH, was this past weekend. 

A friend of mine approached me on Monday and said, "the two ladies sitting across from me at your bridal shower were talking alot of sh*t. I guess they didn't know that I spoke Portuguese". These two ladies are my MOH's mother and sister!!!

According to my friend they said that there was too much food, they complained that one of the games we played was obscene, and that the cake was the only dessert (it wasn't). There was apparently much more complaining but this is all that my friend told me. I was FURIOUS. I have known them for 12 years and feel so betrayed. I would never do this to any of my friends. This is totally innapropriate and immature. 

According to my mom they arrived an hour early and asked my MOH why her shower didn't look as nice as mine... WTF, she didn't plan her shower, her sis and mom did (and btw did not let me help). They then made a comment about how many presents I had. I didn't take note of these things because I was so happy and nervous but my mom said that it was a noticeable difference in that I got many more. 

I feel that all of this is jealousy and I am disappointed that it is happenning. I wanted to call my MOH's sister and talk to her about it but my close friends and FI all recommended that I just let it go. They said that nothing would come of it and that I would only cause drama. I felt that it was wrong and felt a moral obligation to defend my mother but after giving it some thought I think they are right. I'm just so mad... ugh

  • Be the bigger person, and let it go. Especially because she is your MOH. If you confronted the Mother and sister, it would just make it awkward for the MOH and she shouldn't have to choose her best friend or family. Just vent here!
  • Do you realize you are posting on the July board?

  • yea, I am confused, it sounds like your wedding is in June? But I would let it go, unfortunately, lots of people gossip about weddings and it is sad that you had to find out about wha tthey were saying. it isn't worth ruining any relationships or friendships.
