My sister's a bridezilla: exhibit B

[meltoine]

She was out to dinner with some friends over the weekend. One (who was not a BM) said, "I'm in the wedding right? Because I just love you guys so much and I want to be part of your day!"

My sister apparently does not posses the power to say no to this person, so goes ahead and tells her she's a BM. Then voluntells the rest of us resend all the shower and bachelorette planning emails, including new girl, as if it's the first time so new girl won't be offended/figure out that she's a second-string BM. 


Edited to to fix title. Damn autocorrect.

I missed exhibit A.
This is cute but sad.

This totally happened to me.

She wanted me to attend, host, and plan a bachelorette and bridal shower at either 36 weeks pg or 3 weeks pp. And she lives across the country from me.

I am too.

Ugh. Why do weddings eat people's brains?!

I think this shows poor judgement (by two people!) but is not an example of what I consider bridezilla behavior.

How far along in the planning are you? I think that it is really weird to assume you are in a wedding.

I agree it's not necessarily bridezilla, but the tone with which she was like, "So so-and-so invited herself to be a BM, so now I need you to pretend like all that planning hasn't actually happened yet and make up emails to send again and get her to agree to what the rest of us have already agreed to, but without letting on that we've already agreed to it" is what comes off as bridezilla.

She's chosen a date, a venue, and a few other things, as well as asked all the BMs. As a group, we (the BMs) have decided on a bachelorette weekend in August (wine tasting and a night at a cabin on a lake, which I will not be attending because it's too close to my due date) as well as a shower and second bachelorette girls' night out at the end of January, which I am planning/hosting/attending. We have chosen venues for each of these and are finalizing the guest lists.

The whole situation is just weird. Who asks to be in someone's wedding like that? I think the request for fake emails is a bit much.

I can relate to the bridezilla sister. I was 24 weeks pregnant at my sister's wedding and desperately had to pee. There was only one bathroom in the suite we were getting ready in. My sister refused to allow me to use the bathroom so I had to run down to the lobby (3 floors down) to use the bathroom. I was in tears. She thinks I was crying because I thought she looked pretty in her dress....LOL.

When my bff got married she bitched to me about "having" to include her fi's two sisters and two more of our friends as bms. (I was moh.) I was like...you want me to drop out? Cause honestly, I'm OK with that. Lol. And I wasn't even pregnant.

I had a similar experience, my bff had 6 bm's by the time she got married, she was all how I am going to make this work, boohoo I was like I'm happy to be a guest if need be; the. She said no because you are the moh. It worked out but was tough with all those chic's to coordinate, especially at a destination wedding (Jamaica).

The bride. A friend whom was a pretty close friend was just like "so, I want to be a bridesmaid, I'm going to be a bridesmaid, right?!" I told her no.
