Am I the only one thats ready to strangle bridesmaids?

COLDSUTHERN

So I have a total of 4 bridesmaids. One is AMAZING she was quick about getting dress, shoes and accessories. One took FOREVER to get dress just got it a month before wedding. THEN MY TWO TROUBLE MAKERS. These 2 are my closest friends and they are in competiton with each other. They dont agree on anything. Im really at the end of my rope with these 2. They say its because they want things to be perfect for me. However neither one has helped with any of wedding plans or errands and all this bickering makes me so sick to my stomach. It seems they are more about out doing each other. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I wonder what they say about you.

You'll need to tell me specific "wedding plans and errands" you expect them to do.

Are you paying them to?

It's totally okay to vent.
Planning a wedding is very stressful!
When people don't meet expectations or make your job harder, wedding planning isn't fun anymore. You begin to loose sight of what is most important, which is you're marrying your best friend.
I'm in the same boat. My maid of honor's dress doesn't fit right (she is expecting to loose weight before the wedding! Yeah, right.) She also hasn't bought her plane ticket either (the wedding is 3 months away in Alaska).
In addition, my mom just bought a so-so Mother of the Bride dress without clearing it with me first.
And the groom, is well, a procrastinator.
Whew! Now I'm done venting.
Treat yourself to a massage and a glass of wine!
