I just need to vent here.
Ok, over the days of planning my wedding, I've seem to have taken on a case if extreme bad luck. First of all, my bridal shower got terrorized. My BM invited her two friends and then they got in a brawl at the shower and shoved over a cake, to the point where security had to be called.
Then another bride outbid me on the dress of my dreams and whisked it away. I was about to cry due to all of the pressure until it turned out that the shop had an identical one that they overlooked. I have to get alterations because it is way too big, and it may not be altered in time.
My cousin keeps joking about wearing a wedding dress to my wedding. She actually did that to my older sister and wore an identical dress, plus a veil. I always thought I'd be the kind of bride who shrugs off any upstaging, but it bothers me a lot more than I thought. It seems like a b i t c h y move to comment on her outfit choice though .
The only non-stressful thing is I finally found the perfect bridesmaid dresses. I was starting to have hope after they arrived and look even better than the pictures. Then as I was finally having hope, my mom shot me down with a text about what dress she chose to wear. The text mentioned that she already paid for it and it was pretty much as expensive as my wedding gown.
It looks like a wedding dress, for a bride. And she's planning to wear a "headpiece" which I am dreading because I have no idea what it looks like, it could quite possibly be a veil based on her current patterns. The silhouette and style don't bother me, but the amount of sequins and the fact it is 99% more voluminous than my dress is what really gets to me. Do moms get some kind of virus when their kids get engaged which turns them into attention-hogs? Here is the dress 
. Thanks for letting me vent.
