    Wow, you and Ash sound like SUPER FUN brides! So, will you pass out badges at the meeting? Will there be covers for the TPS reports? Will your wedding data be formatted correctly in Excel? Myself I recommend Google Sheets, that way you can have your bridesmaids check in on a regular basis and you can keep track of their progress.

    Oh, I'm sorry. This is supposed to be a wedding, not a work event. My bad.

    Ok, so I'm a little late to this party. But hold up a second.

    "yes I'm getting married on a ship and ppl can sail or not sail but I have a payment plan for them"

    Just for clarity's sake, this is *after* the wedding and reception and all, right? You aren't making people pay to sail on a boat during your wedding and reception, right?

    Also, Gymrat I am very impressed with your non-snarky response! Haha. Very good information there. #Gymratisawesome

    No, I won't kick them out of the wedding. I have given my bridesmaids free reign to choose a red, floor length gown with any hairstyle they choose. (We all have differently textured natural black hair, and I know how impossible it can be to, for example, tame a 4B mini-afro with mad shrinkage into a slick bun.)

    It's not unreasonable that I ask my bridesmaids to help me. My wedding is in Metro Atlanta, Georgia (where they both live) but I live in California. Also, they are part-time college students while I work full-time. When I asked them to be my bridesmaids, I made sure they understood that I need and expect their help if they accept. I am paying for their dresses once they're picked, and planning thank you gifts when it's all over.

    There is nothing "BrideZilla" about this arrangement.

    A to do list isn't for voting.

    You're plan is terrible. You're idea is terrible.

    Good luck.

    You're going to have a lonely engagement after all your friends leave.

    Ash, it's YOUR wedding, not your BMs. The only thing you should "expect" them to do is get their dress and show up. Just because they're part- time college students and you work full time doesn't mean shit. So what are you saying? You're more important because you have a job and they don't? Yea, fuck them and all that studying they need to do in order to pursue a degree.

    Jesus how are people like you raised?!
