does anyone have someone that is mad they aren't a bridesmaid? a funny reflection ;)

Aronna, on November 16, 2013 at 1:19 PM Posted in Planning 0 12

I'm only having one, so far that's worked if I get asked if Im going to have so and so in the wedding party. I just tell them I'm following family tradition and just having a MOH. in truth, I don't want the fuss and work of a bridal party.

a while back a young family member wanted to look at her mommy and daddy's wedding pictures. I had met my groom about 10 months before her parents got married.

she looked through the pictures and asked who where the bridesmaids. She had just been a flower girl while her mom was MOH and her dad was best man.

she looked at the bridesmaid pictures then looked confused- she then asked why wasn't I a bridesmaid in the wedding?

I decided to have a little fun and ask

"yeah mommy! why wasn't I a bridesmaid!?" I didn't really care, but I couldn't let that moment pass me up Smiley smile

maybe that's how I get myself into hot water Smiley winking

    There is one friend that I'm not having as a bridesmaid - partially because she's not that close to me, and partially because I wanted to just have small bridal party.

    I think she's disappointed. I've tried to keep my bridal party a secret, but I know she's been asking one of the bridesmaids if I have picked anyone out yet.

    @Aronna: I'm doing the same thing you are. We are having a DW and I thought it would be easier to just have my sister as my MOH and would keep things small and drama free. I felt bad last Christmas when my cousin who I am very close with asked if her and her sister were in the wedding. I just explained that we were keeping it small but if we had decided to do something bigger they for sure would have been included. Then my other cousins wife sent me a message that her daughter (my second cousin, who I've only met a few times) was disappointed that she wasn't a junior bridesmaid in the wedding. I again explained that I decided to keep it to small and was only having my sis as MOH. I'm not trying to turn my wedding into a 3 ring circus. I can't include everyone I know in the wedding party.

    My future sister-in-law is pissed! I was a bridesmaid in her and my future brother-in-laws wedding (FI's brother--he's one of the best men), but she literally has gone cra-cra-crazzzyyy since then and i don't need her drama-inducing ways. My other future sister-in-law (also one of the best men's wives) is doing a reading, and my FI sister is in my wedding...so she's the only one excluded...although she did the same thing to the other future sister in law at her wedding, so i don't feel bad! She's said some awful things to my future mother in law that weren't warranted at all...do what you want, it's your day!

    I have 5 sister who I am close to, but I want a small bridal party. My best friend is my MOH and I'm not having anymore bridesmaids. It makes everything soooo much easier. I'm have a small wedding and don't need a whole lot of help, though.

    I think one of bridesmaids is bummed because she isn't MOH.

    We are good friends, but I chose my friend whom I have been friends with since freshmen year of high school. Even though she lives on the opposite side of the country, we have still remained great friends.

    My other friend seemed visibly disappointed when I used the term "Bridesmaid" when I asked her. Shes very passive aggressive so we will see how the rest of the year goes.

    A friend of mine that I have been friends with since 7th grade, was married in June. She had 7 or 8 BM's. I wasn't one. Not so much mad but slightly bummed. I have asked her be a BM for me as I value her friendship dearly. I was the only one not in the wedding party who was at her bridal sower and bachelorette party and so I realize she had to cut the line somewhere and I am still a valued friend of hers.

    I think a friend of mine may be disappointed. She has hinted at it but hasn't directly come out and said it. My FH wanted a smaller bridal party and I chose my sister and two close friends. I would have liked to include his sisters as well but I had to choose the people closest to me first. She is still invited to the wedding and, hopefully, understands my choice. I think since I was in her wedding party, she expected to be in mine, but sadly we just aren't as close as we once were.

    I'm having this very issue right now....I have a "friend" who I've known for years!! Over the last maybe 5 years, we've grown significantly apart. I'm ok with that, life happens. She's got her new set of BFFs her hubby and her kids....I shouldn't be that important. We don't talk or hang out however it appeared on her part that she should be in my wedding party. I have 6 and both my FH and I chose every person to be in our wedding together. She texted me and asked why and I gave the truth, nothing personAl. His sisters were to be included so that eliminated 2 of my friends potentially being in it. The kicker for me is, over the course of our 2.5 year relationship, she's met my guy twice and neither of those times did she make him feel welcome. He doesn't like her and even if there was room, it's his wedding too. It just sucks at the maturity level of some. I guess, was her last response to me. Oh well...I have planning to do. She's got 8 months to get over it if not, it is what it is.
