..at the rehearsal?
Oh that would be my lovely new sister in law (husband's brother's wife.) This woman is the most spoiled entitled person I've ever met. She thinks the world revolves around her. My husband does not like her at all, but I've been nothing but nice to her. Prior to the wedding, I only met her one other time when her and DH's brother were in town (they live over a thousand miles away).
So we get ready for our rehearsal and I had given all of the bridal party and parents a schedule of what time people need to be ready for the wedding pictures the next day. It also included a hair and makeup schedule for the mothers and maids (I was paying for everyone's hair and makeup). We do our rehearsal, and when we are done, and are just hanging out for a few minutes before dinner. SIL pulls me aside and says she's OFFENDED that I didn't invite her to get hair and makeup done with everyone. She said she came from far away and doesn't know anyone and it was rude of me to not ask her.
Excuse me?
I barely know this woman. And from the stories I've heard from my now husband, and his other brothers, this is not a person I want with me while I'm getting ready for my wedding. I have enough things to worry about, I certainly don't want to deal with her attitude. So I told her "I'm sorry, but it's just for the bridesmaids and mothers." And then she says "well my mother in law is getting her hair and makeup done." "Yes, she's a mother, of course she's invited." (Seriously, what is wrong with this woman?)
Then I said I was paying for everyone's hair and makeup, and she said she never would expect me to pay for her. So I'm supposed to invite her, but not pay for her? OK, that's not rude at all (eye roll). Or I'm supposed to tell my MUA and hairdresser, I'm paying for everyone but her. No, that sounds way more rude IMHO.
Then she was asking me where she could get her hair done somewhere. I'm thinking, this woman is in her late 30's, can she not figure it out on her own? I didn't know the area that well, I certainly didn't know of a salon nearby, since I hired my own vendors to come to the venue. I said we could ask the front desk.
I was so mad, who does that? I am not a mean person, but I was so caught of guard, it made me upset that she called me rude. There is nothing rude about not inviting someone to join you to get ready. Apparently, she was complaining to the best man's wife, who couldn't believe she was saying this.
At least she lives far away right?
