Okay brides, I have to ask. Did you pay for your bridesmaids' dresses??
I can NOT by any means afford to, and I have 1 maid in particular who has recently been borderline scrutinizing me for it because she is a 4X and hers will inevitably cost more than the other 5 girls'.
Oh, did I mention that I have 6 girls total?? That's a *minimum* of about $700 more added to the wedding that is already well-over $6k and that I don't want to even touch $10k.
I work an 8-5 job for less than $15/hr and my husband works for Amazon at less than $20/hr but he pays all our bills so he's not left with much at the end of the day.
And besides that, this 1 bridesmaid is the ONLY 1 that's complained so far and she currently makes more then I do hourly. The others have ALL said the same thing when I tell them I can't pay for them: "If we have a whole year to pay for them, then why would I need you to??"
