What a horrible day

As of Saturday, I had honestly given up on finding bridesmaid dresses for my sisters. They are impossible to make plans with or to please. On Saturday, one of my sisters was over and asked me about the dresses, and I told her I didn't care, she and my other sister could just go and pick out navy dresses. She felt bad, and had me make an appointment today to look at dresses. Her car had broken down that morning, and she was supposed to bring it to the mechanic after she left our house.

Fast forward to this morning, I called her to see what time I should stop by to pick her up, and she's upset and in a terrible mood with her car, kids, etc. A couple of hours later, she sent a text saying she couldn't make the appointment, please don't me mad at her. Yesterday I had called my other sister to ask if she was free, she just got angry that I didn't tell her about the appointment sooner.

So, now I have two people mad at me, and no one to go shopping. On top of this, for whatever reason I had a complete meltdown missing my mom and my grandmother, knowing that if either of them were here, I could have at least asked them to go with me.

Then tonight I get home and try to work on the guest list with FI, and we end up in an argument of sorts because he keeps saying what he thinks I want to hear, but in reality it's not what he wants or is thinking.

Anyway, we work that out, and we start trying to decide on tuxes vs. suits. I ask my dad to try on a suit he had just bought to see if that's a look we might want to go with. He puts it on, comes into the living room to show us, and immediately the dog starts growling at him. Made us laugh sooo hard, and was just what I needed tonight!

    Wow that is a hard day!  Thats sucks. 

    As far as your sisters a concerned.  If you are fed up with them blowing you off, Just pick the dress you like and tell them to go order it.  It seems like you have given them plenty of opportunities to be a part of the decision process.  At this point who cares if they like it or not.  And if they put up a stink, remind them of the many chances they had to pick out their own.  You dont have time for their crap. 

    I love the idea of suits instead of tuxes.

    glad your day ended on a better note.  You have to find time to just laugh-- especially when planning your wedding because some days are just beyond stressful (and sometimes you don't have a great excuse as to why!).

    Sounds like you handled your sisters well and are very understanding.  But it's really frustrating so maybe talk to them both about really making a plan and sticking to it.  It will be a big stress off your shoulders!

    Totally funny about the dog, but sucky about your sisters.  Breathe.  Like with everything else in life, there are ups and downs with wedding planning.  It stinks you weren't able to go dress shopping, but hopefully in a few days each of their lives will settle down a bit and they will be more relaxed and able to have the time to have a fun shopping trip with you.

    Good luck!

    Thanks ladies :) I am feeling a little better today, still sad though. I went shopping by myself yesterday and finally just picked a dress. And today, FI was so sweet, I feel like he must have spent the whole day thinking of things he could help out with. Love him :)
