This is all completely out of hand. I understand that the bride wants to have a special day, but at the expense of your friends, I don't get. The last wedding I was in was such a disaster that I am not sure I'd do it again. The wedding was on a Friday. I couldn't take off because it was our last day of school. Luckily, the principal got teachers to cover my last two classes so I could leave. When I got there, the bridesmaids were getting their make up done by Mary Kay consultant and they expected me to split the total price with them. I had told them I am allergic to Mary Kay early on and if they used MK I wouldn't be participating. Then when it was time to get the bride ready, I was the only one who helped. The other BMs ate and watched the grooms' toddler twins eat Cheetos then try to touch the bride's dress. Only one other BM did anything to help out.
Meanwhile the BM dress was BUTT ugly and couldn't be altered to fit right. It was completely uncomfortable. She insisted we get these ugly cheap shoes that caused blisters on my feet before the ceremony. Thank god my dress came in wrong twice and I got a refund each time, so I ended up getting it for $65. My cousin's daughters now wear it as a princess dress. :-)
This was both the bride's and groom's second marriage and luckily we got out of throwing a shower because the mother of the groom explained since they both had households a shower was tacky and NOT going to happen.
We did not speak for a good 6 months after the wedding. It was that bad.
