Weird Friend Question/Poll

So I know some ladies have mentioned friends not being involved and how that impacted their relationships, but has anyone had a friend who was over involved in the wedding? Example, my friend was completely devastated that she wasn't present when I bought my dress (I was with my Mom and Grandfather). She has also made comments about me not including her in other aspects of the planning, like when I booked the reception venue. It has been very weird. Does anyone else have a friend, maybe family member like this?

    In a weird way, the BM that I complain about who never is available complains to me when I do things without her!She was offended that I did the invites without her, and she said Well I would've helped! Does that kind of relate? She's not pushy to begin with, but when I do accomplish tasks she's offended if she's not there. Even if it's her choice.I love weddings...haha

    Weddings sure do seem to bring out a weird side of people. I guess I could understand her being hurt about the dress if I was with some other friends and she wasn't included, but I was with my Mom. I always thought dress shopping was a Mom/daughter bonding thing. Lisa, she can be needy, sometimes very needy. I often feel tired after spending a long time with her.

    I don't have the exact same situtation as you, but it's similar. I have a friend that keeps hinting on how she wants to be in the wedding and is trying to make me feel quilty because I haven't asked her.  Maybe I should switch her with my MOH due to her having no interest whatsoever in my wedding.

    Wow! that is really weird. I sometimes feel guilty about my fmil  that my mom and I are doing most of the wedding stuff, but my friends don't care.  They offer to help, I let them know if they can do anything, and that's about it.

    I ran into that situation with my Mom recently. She's not a crafty person (self proclaimed); so I opted to start on some of the DIY stuff myself. We were at FI's parents house a couple months ago and were talking wedding plans and my FMIL offered to help. Even though my Mom really likes my FMIL, she was feeling very left out and felt my FMIL was getting too involved. Something I've started to do is make a list of things I need to do and who can help with what. Mom will be taking the reigns on the Bridal Shower so she can cook up a storm (she's an awesome cook!). HTH!

    No. I swear, some girls are so weird when it comes to weddings. Is this girl single? It sounds kind of like she's in love with all things wedding and wants to be in on everything. Or she's just needy. I don't know. As far as the reception site, the only people who should be there to pick it out are you and your fiance, and perhaps parents.
