I have been MIA for a bit due to school, work, and wedding planning but I needed to vent with someone...
I know a bride who has been engaged after me and will be married before me. I had already started researching for our wedding since I have been engaged a couple of months before her. She contacted me if I was familiar with her top choice for her reception. I didn't but I sent her reviews from the weddingwire. This is when our wedding conversations start. She had already purchased her dress but I hadn't and was asking for advice. I had no idea which dress she purchased and when I told her the dress I had my eye on...she told me "oh that dress doesn't look like it would suit you" and I thought "really?....how the heck would you know?'. I didn't end up with that dress (it felt like a 15's dress) because I didn't like it and I found out later that the dress I had my eye on was her dress.
Then the next bump was with photographers. I had checked numerous photographers and even shared a list of photographers with her when she asked for my help. I had let up with the photographer she had decided to book (I had no idea). When I told her I had already met her photographer and was was among one of my choices....she gave me the "stink eye" and her attitude completely changed. Needless to say, we found a better photographer than hers and when she asked me she was elated (go figure). I still don't understand the big fuss she created...
The last straw was regarding potential MUA. We bumped into each other and asked me how my plans were coming along. I had told her that I was going for my trial with a MUA. She told me that she wanted to get the name of the person and I told her that I would pass on the info to her after my trial.
My thing is that I don't want to give it to her because I have helped out and she's been a complete witch (you can guess what I meant) to me for no good reason. I'm not a secretive bride that keeps all her vendors or good deals a secret. I enjoy helping others without expecting anything back. I just don't understand brides like her....UGH!!!!! You girls are nothing like her and I thank you all for being the way you are on this board.
Has anyone experienced this???
Thanks for letting me vent....I feel better now.
October Siggy! Love the Groom's Expression!
