June 2012 Weddings

Does everyones BM's get along?

This weekend was the first time all of mine meet each other. Two knew each other from college. There was some tension in the room because the two from college kinda took over the shower that the other BM had planned. I felt bad for her and was wondering if anyone else has BM's who didn't get along.

Re: Does everyones BM's get along?

  • I'm sorry you're dealing with that. All of my bms are sisters but they hated my ex bm that was a friend. I'm so glad it's just family now. We have the typical sibling fighting but it works itself out. I'm dreading my older sisters RSVP bc she thinks shes inviting 3 girlfriends to come drink and dance at my reception. My moms not happy either and if she RSVPs them it's gonna be bad
  • All three know eachother from different things, so they don't necessarily get along all together but each has an "ally" if that makes sense?

  • At one point, I had to get my 3 BMs together so they could hash out some problems. One was trying to "take over" things and it was a clash of personalities. Everything worked itself out and all 3 are friends.

    Note: 1 MOH is my neice, 1 BM is my aunt, and 1 BM is my FSIL.

  • My WP is really small and there is a giant age gap between them. The MOH is 30, the BM is 10 and the FG is 5. No feuding possible so they're fine. The MOH and I were having a big tiff but we met up yesterday at her house, made up and everything seems fine now. The other girls are just absolute joys and I love them dearly - I doubt there's anything a 10 and 5 year old could do that would REALLY piss me off.

  • I have no idea how they're getting along, if at all. Four are friends of mine from college and all know each other well, but one is a friend from my childhood who hasn't even met the others yet. I believe they're all working together on my shower, but two are definitely in charge. I haven't heard of any problems, though.

  • Mine get a long for the most part. BM 1&2 are sisters and BM 3&4 are sisters. They all know each other so if there is any drama it will be sister drama Wink
  • Mine all do for the most part.  My MOH is my cousin and we are very close.  The other 4 are friends from college.  We have a family beach house so I have had all 4 of the girls at the beach house multiple times so they've hung around with my cousin.

    I lived in the same dorm as all 4 of the BM's freshman year of college.  3 of us became really close and I was roommates with all 3 of them at some point.  The fourth one I became closer friends with towards the end of college.  She was the wild college girl but met her now husband the summer going into senior year and settled down and got priorities straight.  I love that they all know each other. 

    The only controversy is one of the BM's is very opinionated and isn't really responding to my MOH about things because it's not her way.  Besides that they are at least all working together.
  • Three of mine are my sorority sisters and the other one is my FI's sister.  I know they've messaged each other a few times on FB but beyond that they won't officially meet until the rehearsal dinner when they are all in town.

  • Two of mine went to HS together the same year (a year younger the me) and never knew each other.  Apparently they were all involved in the shower and got a chance to get to know each other.  I don't know if it was an act and they wanted me to be happy, but each kind of gushed over the other, how helpful, nice, good to finally get to know them.  So I was happy! Two of the others sort of knew each other, and my cousin doesn't really know anyone. Three of them also met at our christmas party and got along pretty well then, too.  They were also all really helpful at the shower (helpful to me and each other) All of my girls are really friendly and nice though so I wasn't surprised, a little relieved though. :)
  • I know MOH and one BM are getting along very well, they only knew of one another prior but it seems like they have become pretty good friends.  From what I have heard, they are pretty annoyed with the other BM.  They will all agree on a time to meet and she will either cancel at the last second or just not show, apparently some of the excuses to cancel have been lies.

    The one that really left MOH upset was when she got the call that their dresses were all in, she talked to the two others and they agreed on a time to all go and try the dresses on.  MOH took care of making the appointment with the shop for the three of them.  The day they were supposed to go, MOH called the two asking if they wanted to get lunch after.  That BM said she already picked up her dress.  MOH was so dumbfounded that she really didn't know what to say.  They haven't heard from her since.

    I cannot change how she is but I still feel bad.  I have told them, just set the time and place to meet and go.  If she chooses not to come, then it is her loss.

    My FSILs don't really know the other girls. One of them came up for dress shopping and met them, but I don't think it will matter much in the long run. My 3 friend BMs are throwing me a shower/bach party and they will invite FSILs (but they prob won't come b/c they live 3 1/2 hours away). I can see them coming to the one my aunts are throwing closer to home.

    My 3 friend BMs all know each other and get along, but aren't as close to each other as they are to me. I don't think they hang out without me. Its just b/c I know them from different aspects of life and social settings. We hang out in a group a lot, so I know they'll have fun together at everything.

  • We have 2 girls in our wedding party and one lives in Australia so that makes things simple!!  Our WP is more symbolic than helpful though....we aren't asking them to really help with anything (unless they volunteer) so there isn't really a situation where they all have to get along.  Everyone is family too so I guess that helps!

  • One BM is a friend from college who lives in Floirda. She hasn't met the others two.  The other two are my BFF that I've known since I was a year old. They are twins so I can't  honestly say those two always get along!
  • My only BM is my sister....so I think she gets along with herself :)
