Letter to my BM - VENT

Dear PITA BM,

Ever since the dress was purchased you have done nothing but complain. You never said one word except that you LIKED THE DRESS when you showed up 45 minutes late to the appointment that you knew about 1 month in advance. I heard from another BM that the second I walked to the bridal section of the store that that was when you started questiioning having a short (knee length) dress. Why didn't you say something before we all agreed? Why did you say you liked it if you really didn't?

I'm sorry that you are 6.2 and had to order extra length which caused your dress to be more expensive than the other girls (but still wiithin the amount you agreed to pay). I even offered to reimburse you the extra amount so you would shut up about it which you declined!

I'm also sorry that you are just now figuring out how you're going to make it to a seamstress to get the dress altered when the dress came in June. I offered to ship it to you to save you a trip, which you finally agreed to in August, 2 months after the dress came in. 2 months that you could have been figuring out alterations.

I'm sorry that the dress is too big and too short. As much as you think it's my fault. IT ISN'T. I promise I would fix it for you if I could. You complaining to me about it isn't going to make the dress fit!

My best advice is to go to the professional seamstress you found and get her professional opinion before continuing to whine to me. I AM OVER IT.

  • Love this letter!  

    The end result is that you can not do anything about it.  This is your wedding and who cares.  She is only wearing this dress for less then 12 hours.  She will live.  Don't worry about it!

  • As long as it doesn't fall down, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Turns out I don't have to worry about it anymore. She texted me last night to say she doesn't see us being friends past the wedding. I've suspected this for months but was waiting for her to step down. Glad I haven't ordered her bouquet yet! I have unfortunately made her gift. Oh well. I'm sorry if that sounds terrible, its just been a long few months waiting for her to get the courage to step down. She runs from her problems instead of confronting them so it's not really a surprise it took this long. 31 days til the wedding!
