My maid of honor is my soon to be sister in law. I have had issues with her opinions from the start when we first started planning her outfit.
I asked my maids to wear any black dress, a red sash that I will provide, and any style red shoes.
After going shopping with her about 5 times for a black dress. I suggested we find one online. We ordered one (after several months of looking and scrutinizing every little detail on every black dress). I get it and she tells me she doesn't like it..but after the date that it is refundable. I tell her this and she just lets it go- thank god. Then she wants my fiance to hem it (he can sew!). He tells her he is not conformable working with the material that the dress is made out of but she insists. He waits a month and just tells her the same thing. She then takes the dress and say she will do it herself.
Then she doesn't like the idea of my red sashes. She said it won't look right. I put my foot down and tell her I want it.
After that we are on the hunt for RED SHOES. She doesn't like anything we found. We found about 100 different styles and she hates them all. Now she wants black shoes with a red flower. I told her RED. I'm getting so pissed off. I have 100000 other things to do and all she can do is complain.
I told my fiance this and he just gets defensive about his family. He tells me that he knows she's overbearing but I just have to deal with it???
She also has 2 kids. One of her girls is my flower girl. The other is a baby. She said her husband is afraid that the baby will cry for her during the ceremony so her husband will just let the baby run to her during our ceremony if she cries?! Does this seem like a normal option? Wouldn't the father take the crying baby out of the room during my wedding ceremony?
Am I being crazy? I'm getting so stressed out!!!
