  Also... she is the only one I can text with details, ideas about the wedding and she has great input and actually CARES! I know they say "No one will care about your wedding more than you" , but it's nice to have someone you can talk to when you get excited about little things here and there and they are genuinely happy for you . I love that girl!!

  I never thought there would be so much drama. Today is the deadline for the groomsmen to order their tuxes and FI can't even get in touch with his cousin. This has been going on for a month now. So I guess he's out. I've had quite some drama too but yesterday two of my out of state girls confirmed that they purchased their tickets. 

  
  

  I have two girls who have made this process so smooth. I never gave my BMs duties or anything because I know that they are quite busy. It turns out the busiest BM was doing some planning behind my back. She arranged a limo for us and is helping with the bridal shower. She travels a lot for work so I was really surprised she got so much done. She'll be out of town for the weekend of the shower but she said she would try her best to be there. I'll feel so sad if she can't make. Then have one friend that's just been awesome. She helped me look for venues, attended a bridal show with me, checked out various vendors with me and is so encouraging. I asked her to be a BM but she said she's too shy and would rather work in the background. I really appreciate all her help and she will be getting a gift for bearing with me.

  Sheesh the only person I can think of right now is my MOH. She is my 18 year old little sister and I can honestly say she has done everything I have asked and she is always eager to help me. Hopefully they can all get it together and be like her.

  I had one and she was amazing. She texted me asking what she needed to do about the dresses and got her on time. She asked about the hair, how did I want it, what length I wanted their hair, she asked about makeup, shoes, jewelry, what time and where she needed to be. Her exact words....I want to do whatever I can to make your day special and to make sure I do my part to ensure that it goes how you have planned it to be.

  My BM that's been most helpful to me was actually a surprise to me.  I honestly expected her to be the bringer of drama because she isn't too fond of my MOH.  But she is definitely going above and beyond and some days when I'm too tired to be excited about wedding plans, she's still excited and coming up with ideas.  She has researched caterers, reached out to my MOH (which I'm TRULY thankful for), and stepped up and took the reigns for organizing my shower.

  At this point (I still have 7 months to go) I haven't had any problems and my BMs have been an absolute delight. But I will say my MOH and MatronOH are the bomb.com! These ladies haven't let me lift a finger to do anything and whenever I call to say I'm stuck with something or looking for something, by the end of the day they've found it or made it. I'm truly blessed.

  2 of my maids had children within the past year, another is an actress that flys between NY & LA on a regular basis and the third thinks she's a younger version of Samantha from Sex and The City so I didn't feel overwhelming support. What they did do (with the exception of Samantha, lol) is order their dresses on time and hosted a terrific shower and bachelorette party. We've all been friends since elementary school so I didn't feel any regret over there lack of participation in the planning process. It was fun for me that they witnessed parts of the ceremony and reception like they were guest.

  I actually thought I didn't have one until I thought about my friend that is going to be my hostess. She has went with me to pick my dress out, find shoes, listen to me vent about the wedding and gave advice on EVERYTHING concerning the wedding. My two MOH's (maid and matron) are my sister and my best friend from middle school and both live out of town. Neither have bought there dress or booked a flight, it just doesn't seem like they are coming but Ki said if neither of them make it that she is going to stand up there with me.  Made me feel so much better!  She is my Bridesmaid (not actually a bridesmaid) of the year!

  Until the first full year of being one!

  My Personal Attendant, Florist and Sororfriends are the BEST!!  My MOH and only attendant, meh.  My PA is also going to be my DOC, so she listens and absorbs all of my plans so that she can execute my vision.  My florist is over the moon about the flowers and will make sure that the set up meets my specifications.  My Sororfriend has volunteered to help them with set up on the wedding day, helped out tremendously with the Bridal Shower and came with me to my fitting yesterday.  

  
  

  MOH is excited about standing with me since I only have 1 attendant, but is jealous of the fact that I don't communicate with her about the wedding the way I do with florist, PA and Sororfriend.  They are involved in a very different way than she is so they need details that she doesn't. She has no need to know which linens are for what tables because she is not doing the set up. She will be with me getting her makeup done, so that information means nothing to her.  She whines to me about feeling left out, but she barely acts interested in the stuff I do want to share with her. So now I don't tell her anything other than what she needs to know for the wedding day itself.  

  
  

  30 more days and then I can put her ego back in the box.
