I should be asleep but my head is so full I can't rest. Can I cut my bridesmaid a check for 150 for her dress and shoes and tell her I no longer wish for her to be in the wedding? She is one of my favorite cousins but we may hate each other by the time its all over. She refuses, and I mean REFUSES to cooperate. She does not communicate with me or the rest of the bridal party. She went and bought the most horrible shoes without consenting with me and she says she will not spend more than 30 to find another pair. The other girls are wearing a satin canary yellow sandal. She says she will absolutely NOT wear anything open toe. So she goes and buys a bright yellow patent leather pointy toe pump that was a final sale. I recommend a yellow satin flat and she says it made her look like elf feet. I asked her to send a picture so maybe I could help or another point of view and she refuses. She frowns in all of the other pictures she has sent me with her dress on. She said she will not attend my bridal shower. She wishes to wear her hair the way she wants. I feel like I'm spending time trying to please her instead of her considering the overall look I have for the wedding and attempting to fall in line. If it was my favorite cousin getting married I would wear a clown suit in the wedding if she wanted! It's her day!
Soooo the point of the story, I just don't want to deal with her. I don't want to sit her down for one last talk. I don't want to beg her. I just want her out.
