Is it Saturday yet?

My best friend is getting married on saturday. I can't fucking wait for this wedding to be over.
It's not even the bride! I mean, she's a fucking pushover without a backbone, so she often ends up going "Can you just do this to make them happy" and since I have a backbone I end up having to be the mean one to go "No, and here's why" and then she understands. But otherwise she's fine.
But these bridesmaid bitches are about to get cut. It's me and four other girls, and of the four I'm pretty much only liking one right now because she's too busy with school and work to piss me off. Maybe I'm just being extra moody or sensitive or something, ya'll can tell me if I am.
So Bridesmaid 1, lets call her Sam, volunteered us all to "help" day of the wedding. We are to pick up food, pick up drinks, pick up flowers, get things set up before the wedding. Because that's what bridesmaids do according to her. So as we're divvying up tasks Same informs us she won't be able to help at all. She lives the furthest away from the church (we're all local, but she lives 45 minutes the rest of us 20 or less), and she has hair and make up appointment, so we'll have to take care of it. Yeah, I then remembered, this is classic Sam (we went to high school together). Volunteer everyone for work, then not actually do any work herself. I took the easiest job of picking up the food from the grocery store a block from the church. Plus also, I wanted to make sure the food got there. I care deeply about food.
Bridesmaid 2, Cara, asks the bride how we should all wear our hair. Bride responds "I don't care, just look pretty", easy peasy. But no Cara presses Bride "You have to pick something for us!" other bridesmaids go "yeah, it's your wedding! it's your day!" and Bride goes "Well I'm doing half up, half down with curls...I think that'd look good on you guys...but do what you like". Ok, my hair currently is about chin length. So...it's not going half up half down. But I was already planning on just doing it wavy and wearing a cute sparkly head band thing I have. Which the bride was with me when I bought and said "OMG you should wear that for the wedding, it'd look so cute!", so clearly she doesn't care. Cara on the other hand cared too much. According to her it was rude of me to cut my hair knowing I'd be in a wedding, and I can't wear blingy anything or it will distract from the bride. The chick all in white. The chick everyone knows. Yeah. Sparkly head everyone will be all "OMG whose that?! Bride? What bride? Fuck her, look at headband girl!". And now Cara is telling me she's going to fix my hair on Saturday so I can look like everyone else. No Cara. No you are not.
Bridesmaid 3, Katie, is really the least of the problems. She just keeps freaking out over the decor. Because she's not involved in it at all. Bride and Groom came up with this...look. And Bride puts it together and shows me and goes "Totally honest opinion?" and I tell her that honestly it looks more like a kid's birthday party then a grown up wedding. Bride and Groom agree with me and ask if I'll help them with making it look more grown up. I do, and I manage to do it for about half of what their's cost, so decor wise Bride has pretty much been coming to me with thing and I'm helping set up on Friday. Katie, cannot handle this and actually snapped that I don't know what I'm doing because I'm not married and she's married so she should be doing it. Katie's wedding was a fucking mess because Katie wants to do everything all at once, it doesn't work. She also gets super overwhelmed, panics, and then gets nothing done. I worked in a hotel helping put on weddings. I currently handle setting up large scale events. I got this shit. But no, I haven't been married so clearly I can't throw a fucking party.
Seriously, it needs to be Saturday. Actually it needs to be 7pm on Saturday because the wedding will be done by then and I'll be home wearing yoga pants drinking wine straight from the bottle.

Apparently my sister/MOH nearly stabbed my SIL/BM for insisting that all the bridesmaids help with centerpieces and fucking SILVERWARE before the wedding, despite there already being a volunteer and staff working on it. And told her "T, it's Lolo's WEDDING. This is a big deal." Um. Yup. Think she's aware. But there are people being paid to do this shit. Thankfully T doesn't take shit from anyone and just rolled her eyes and walked away.

IS IT A FUCKING POT LUCK?????? oh my god so many questions.

They're getting deli trays from the local supermarket. Right now she's gotten two sandwich trays, a veggie tray and a fruit tray. I don't think this is enough to feed 100 people (but probably enough for 20). She's supposed to be going over to her mother's to get the RSVPs to count them. I called the grocery store and they said if we need to add another tray or two we can as long as we tell them by 3pm and they'll get it together to be picked up in the morning. Fuck if they can't, it's a goddamn deli tray we'll get some cheese and crackers and meats and throw it together ourselves. And by we, I do mean the blushing Bride, the Groom, and her mother who can't be bothered to count.

But she's bound and determined to go to Fry's (our local Kroger grocery store) for all her other food. I don't know why.
