This is a real problem, lady!

ggirl2001

Yeah, no. You can't dictate shoes unless you're paying for them. Let them get any shoes they want.

Edit: spelling

Ok I totally get the need to have a trollism, but this one is lame and unconvincing. Please try again!

Normally I love the drama, but this is too fake to even be fun.

Who asks to be in charge of their friends money your friends are adults they can buy their own dresses

ggirl2001

Don't worry. She wants them to pay $350, and then have a cash bar at the wedding so they can pay for their drinks. (at least according to the other posts)

Clearly the solution is for each of your BMs to open a new credit card and give you full access to it for anything you feel they need to buy for the wedding.

Heres the dresses: <a href="http://www.morilee.com/quinceanera_vizcaya/quinceanera_vizcaya/87086" rel='nofollow'>http://www.morilee.com/quinceanera_vizcaya/quinceanera_vizcaya/87086</a>

I love them!!!!!

ggirl2001

Well, now this is just ridiculous.

laurenpm

I literally just LOLed...that was a good one OP

ggirl2001

It might not be the money they are worried about, but the dress. Kudos to OP for finding a ridiculous dress to continue this.

LovinLife11

I don't know why you guys have to be so mean.

Beachy730

And now you're done.  First of all, that dress costs $480.  Second, no bride in her right mind would pick that, and no BM would ever agree to wear it.  

Seriously, go away now.

Ghoti

Very nice choice OP! So are you paying the remaining $$$$ for the dresses??

laurenpm

Oh, and FYI that dress retails for $480...good effort but we aren't that easy.  

ETA: dnb beat me to it! haha

fishy, is that you?

em01092

Oy veh. 

Those are horrendous. And a very odd choice for a BM dress....

This is just too awful to be true. 

Ghoti

MEh, I'm pretty easy

Feed the troll feed the troll!

Tell me more about your wedding OP

karissakyle2011

uh yeah, totally MUD. 

LovinLife11

I told you I am paying the extra. I am being nice!

Ghoti

I haven;t seen fishy today!

OP, you are SUPER nice. Your slaves are SO lucky to have you. Ooops, Bridesmaids.

Posted by LovinLife11[/QUOTE]

<div>So? $350 is obviously too much for your BMs. If you must have these dresses, you need to pay for all the costs. But good luck getting anyone to wear those....</div>

jilld82

LOL OP.

I was reading this whole thread and was really annoyed and bored until I saw the link of the dress.  That was pretty funny.

On another note, why bother wasting your time making up a lame story?

LovinLife11

I am having 7 bridesmaids, I can't afford to help with any more of the costs. We are having a really big wedding. My colors are pink and orange. I thought it would go perfect.

Ok, the OP profile has colors listed as blue and brown, not pink and orange.
