My Maid of Honor and her fiance have decided on a date for their wedding and its 2 months after mine. I was so happy to be able to help eachother with our weddings! It was going to be so much fun! That is, until I found out what her colors were going to be-- the same as mine.
I love her to death and we've been friends ever since we were kids (she's also my cousin and she's the one who introduced me to my fiance- which is why i chose her to be my maid of honor). But, she's always been trying to copy everything I do since high school and try to top what I've done. I've been told by a lot of people that she has complained to them that she doesn't have my style, looks, personality etc. So, because of that, I then started to help her out when she goes shopping for clothes, give her tips on easy ways to do her hair and makeup. All of that helped a little and she was happier (and I was too!! lol) That didn't stop the copy-cat routine though.. I get a new car, she gets a new car 4 days later... i get engaged, she gets engaged (which, obviously was up to her man- but he's the same way she is lol)... i get a new haircut, she gets a new haircut.. and so on. I can get over her copying me with all of that stuff. That's easy to brush off. But when it comes down to starting to copy my wedding??
I have no idea how to bring this up to her. I just want for once to have my own thing that nobody else will have. No, the colors aren't a HUGE part of the wedding, but it's still a part of it.. and I'm afraid that if I let this one slide, she's going to try something else.
And I also can't help but be a little irritated that I wasn't even considered to be part of her wedding party (she picked my step-sister instead)- eventhough we have been good friends for so long and for all the crap that we've put up with from eachother. And again, it's not a huge deal and it is her choice who to have in her wedding. I just don't think I can stand to let her copy MY wedding. I don't want it to come off like I'm being a *beep* about it and ruin everything!! Help me please!!
