So one of my bridesmaids refused to wear purple in my wedding (my colors are brown and purple). I said fine, the girls can wear brown. She refused to carry down purple flowers (cause she hates purple for some reason). She also refused to buy the shoes I picked out for my bridesmaids to wear. Fine, I told her to just buy whatever she wants, but she'll stick out like a sore thumb. After much annoyance she got me to change the shoes for all of them.
Now, my Matron of Honor just planned a bridal shower for me and asked the other bridesmaids to chip in (cause she couldn't afford it all on her own) and this same bridesmaid SAID she'd chip in. A week before the shower she said she was broke and couldn't make it to the shower cause she had to go out of town. Fine. I didn't seem to want her there anyway.
Since then, both my church and FH's church are planning me bridal showers. I picked dates and I thought I'd be nice and invite this bridesmaid to one or the other. She said that she couldn't come to one cause she's throwing a shower for someone else (and she's not even a bridesmaid or family to that girl). Then she coudn't come to the other one either cause she's going to her boyfriend's GREAT AUNT'S birthday party.
I blew up at her and said if she didn't want to be a bridesmaid, it would be okay if she told me. (Because she's done nothing but complain from the get go). She said that wasn't it, I just wasn't choosing dates that worked for her. I needed to ask her before I chose dates.
I haven't been a bridezilla at all till now. I really don't think I should have to ask anyone before I choose a date for a shower. And when I was a bridesmaid, I dropped whatever plans I had to go to showers. Especially the one the bridesmaids were throwing.
It's okay if anyone tells me I'm wrong for being infuriated with this girl. I just needed to rant for a bit.
