MOH woes...long

I'm so disappointed with my MOH. I don't really have high expectations of the bridal party. I just want them to be there, to care, and to help out a little on the day of. Three months before the wedding she told me that she didn't know if she could come. I was so hurt. She had already committed, 9 months prior to the wedding, to be the MOH! Her reasoning was finances. Now keep in mind that I bought her dress, shoes, and first night of hotel room. So her expenses are actually LESS than all the other guests...and I can understand her not coming due to finances...but she should have told me that prior to committing to be there (her financial situation didn't change in anyway between when she committed and when she was considering dropping out). So that was pretty heartbreaking to me. I volunteered to pay for her plane ticket...but then she told me not to buy it because she wasn't sure if she could get out of class. I volunteered to buy it for the day before the wedding so that she wouldn't miss any class, but she didn't want me to do that because she said she wanted to be here for as much of it as possible. I finally convinced her to let me buy her ticket after about a month of her stalling. Now she won't RSVP. I know that she's coming, but it's really symbolic to me of how little she cares. She's basically getting a free vacation out of the deal and she won't even bother to do the one thing I've asked her (and every other guest) to do - RSVP.

I've emailed her multiple times about it. I feel like soon I'm going to need to tell her how badly her apathy is hurting me...which I know will really hurt her, because I know that she's not trying to hurt me. She's really not a selfish or uncaring person. She's just stressed out right now. But she's my MOH! I just don't feel like she cares...about the wedding or even about me.

Just sad. :(

    I'm sorry you have to be going through this 3wks before your wedding, though maybe a little Heartfelt talk will ease the pain on your side and make her come to terms that her actions are hurting you. Sometimes people do things w/o knowing. She may think that it is not necessary for her to RSVP since she is your MOH & you did buy her ticket.

    Yeah, I know she's coming ot the wedding. I guess I'm being a little silly about it. Actually, I failed to rsvp to my "good" BM's wedding...and my excuse, "Well, I bought the dress, you know I'm coming!"

    Considering you are 3wks out, you are under a lot stress. Your not being silly just a Bride. Though considering you chose her as your MOH, maybe a friendly phone call will ease your pain regardless. I know that the times I have been a BM I have slacked on  RSVPing just because I bought the dress and I have commited myself to being a part of the Bridal Party!

    Aww, don't stress she will be there and I am sure she cares but maybe doesn't express it the same way you would. Like you said give her a call just to make sure.

    Yeah I would call her and tell her how you feel an how much you want her to be there and all you have done for her already. HTH

    I don't think your being silly at all. That really sucks that your feeling hurt, especially by someone you feel so close to. Maybe she doesn't understand the importance of it to you, and you should definitely call her and express to her how you feel. She probably doesn't even realize the stress she's putting you through.
