H has friends who are triplets, A, B, and C. A was H's best man. B is getting married this weekend. I get along great with A, but his sisters are difficult. I think I've talked about them before. They didn't like me when H and I first started dating because I didn't treat them like they were important--their words. Now C and I are at least cordial, but B is still very cold toward me.
Anyway, when A got married, H was put in charge of getting a bunch of old pictures made into a slideshow for their RD. I ended up doing it, and everyone loved it. Last week, there was a string of emails between A and C about how to create a slideshow for B's wedding. My name was mentioned early on, but I wasn't actually added to the email until Wednesday. Since I had the time and enjoy this kind of thing, I offered to make it for them. I told them Wednesday that I needed all pictures and music by Friday.
I emailed them again Saturday and said I could still get it done if I had the pictures by the end of the weekend. I finally heard back from them Monday and was told they'd have the pictures to me that night. I wrote back and said I needed at least 2 days to work on it. Yesterday, triplet 3 emailed me and said she wouldn't be able to scan the pictures until this afternoon. Even if they sent the pictures right now, I'd have a really hard time getting it done by the time we leave tomorrow.
So now I'm in a tough spot. I made it very clear, from the beginning, that it takes time to do these things and they can't just hand everything off at the last minute. The bride is a huge beebee, and she already dislikes me. All she's going to hear when she doesn't get her slideshow is "Duckis was going to do it, but then she didn't have time." I should have never offered to begin with, and now I'm pissed that my attempt to be nice is going to end in me being blamed for them not having anything.
