I posted on here once before under a different name, not long after I had gotten engaged. I was excited and had never been to weddings outside of my small town, where we apparently have no etiquette. I did not like the responses I got, so I ignored them and did not come back.
I planned my wedding the way I wanted. I had my BMs and MOH help me plan and get things done, I had them all come to pick out the dresses, and I hosted regular get togethers so they could all get to know each other. I wanted the whole experience.
Well two of the BMs (lets call them A and
butted heads. It was pretty much over control about everything. I basically told them they needed to get over it and be adults for my day, and still insisted on everyone attending the get togethers.
My wedding was on Saturday and tension between those two was at an all time high. At the rehearsal dinner on Friday, they argued over who would go first (not first first, but first before the other) down the aisle. I then decided it would go by height.
On Saturday before the ceremony when we're all lining up to go down the aisle, there's a commotion and I see BM A had changed her heels to a higher pair on the way over to the church so she could be taller and go first. At that point, BM B grabs A by the hair and yanks her down to the ground and they proceed to get in a cat fight which ends up tearing my dress at the bottom. Guests can see this happening, it is right as we're about to walk in. A bunch of people jumped up to break up the fight, and of course I told A and B to leave.
There was a delay and then we did go on with the ceremony. I got to marry the man of my dreams, but the wedding was an embarrassing disaster.
