I had posted on here in November, after dealing with my fiances very difficult family. Since then I had forgotten about the post, and came back on here today to find that all the responses I had gotten were incredibly hurtful and not at all helpful. Here is the link to the oringinal post:
My question is why would other brides be so rude? I really needed some helpful advice, and instead got called a "kardashian" and "entitled". I would never treat another bride like this, we are all supposed to be going through a great time in our lives.
To clarify my earlier post, my future mother in law & bridesmaids had ALL said they wanted to come to my dress fitting and had told me they would be there when I 1st told them about it (this was also the only wedding related thing I had asked them to be involved in, I had not asked anything of them since our engagment a year ago.) Also, the fitting was about an hour away, I said I would drive if they could just pitch in with gas $, and only going an hour that wouldnt be that much a person.
A week before my FMIL didnt even tell me she wasnt going anymore, I only found out after I had reached out to her trying to finalize the plans. She was just going to not show and not say anything.
1 day before my fiances sister and bridemaid text me and said she just bought an Iphone and so because of that could not go anymore. I never said everyone needs to plan their life around me, but since when is a phone more important than family. I wouldnt do that to any of my friends/family, unless something major came up.
How does any of this make me an entitled bride?? And as far as the destination wedding goes, we NEVER made people feel bad about not being able to go. We actually are planning an at home reception for people that cant make it.
How would some of you other brides feel about getting such rude responses? Of course I want honest responses, but the way some fellow brides went about it was extremely mean. What happened to treating others the way you want to be treated? Dont call someone entitled or a princess when you know nothing about them. Unlike most other people I know, I pay for my own car, rent, bills, etc. I shouldnt even have to defend myself on here, we are supposed to supporting each other not bringing each other down.
