If she didn't, how long could you wait before she made the decision and return the dress/find another bridesmaid who it would fit?
Obviously it helps to know these things - I've known one of my bridesmaids was trying for a baby for a while, but it's only recently she's said she's definitely not going to be a bridesmaid - and it is a bit annoying she didn't tell you until now, but all may not be lost yet...
I had no idea she wanted to get pregnant/was trying. In the end she only told me because she slipped up and said something she shouldn't have then had to explain herself. Shes not pregnant yet, and didn't say anything about not wanting to be a bridesmaid however the wedding is in 5 months and she most certainly wouldn't fit in the dress if she got pregnant now. The dress and shoes were bought about 6 months ago to the tune of £150 so I wouldn't be able to return them either and I'm not sure I would even enlist another bm arg!Married 30/08/14 :heartpuls0 -

ETA: Oh I think this thread has moved past the game into a ranting page....
Well ok...I don't want him to go anyway but my Mum says it's not fair to invite everyone elses partners and say he can't go...which I can of agree with her...it's her choice of partner.... I suppose I have to respect it........................People don't know what they want until you show them.0 -

My chief bm just told me she is pregnant. The wedding is in July and she is due in September. I've already bought all of my bm dresses. It honestly didn't even cross my mind though! I was so over the moon for her that I don't actually care of she isn't even wearing the same dress. She has only just had her first scan but was really nervous about telling me. I feel awful that she even thought I might be cross about it.
I've got the twist and wrap dresses from BHS and they're pretty stretchy fabric so I'm hoping it'll still fit, but if not it's just another excuse to go shopping haha! (not very MSE sorry!)
My bridezilla tendencies are only really coming out with regard to my hen do. I lent my mother £50 for the deposit and have held a space for an old childhood friend. Both were short of money at the time of booking and assured me that at the end of the month (feb) they would pay. It's now mid-march and still no payment. Grr. I even told them we'd do something cheaper if it was better for them but they insisted and now I'm short of cash and getting annoyed.0 -
I am a Bridezilla and my (new) confession is that I want my bridesmaid to be involved and feel that she doesn't give a hoot.
I understand the adage that nobody cares about my wedding as much as I do but tbh, it barely feels like she is my friend anymore half the time, let alone my bestfriend who I have asked to be my only bridesmaid.. I have asked her face to face if she is sure she wants to be BM as I don't feel that she has been particularly invovled and she said she was but I don't see much change.
I am feeling really stressed and overwhelmed by the whole thing at the moment. I think about it all the time and every day I have a bigger feeling of impending doom.. I have made mistakes (luckily not big ones) at work because I am distracted most of the time. My Mother is doing my head in stressing about tiny, silly details whilst we haven't even got invitations out yet!!!!:j Married to the Love of my Life 02.08.2014 - Now I'm Mrs E :j

I'm so glad it isn't just me! Obviously, I'm not glad your bridesmaid doesn't give a hoot - but seriously, I know the feeling. I've asked my bridesmaids to pick their own dresses, pick the fabric and the design and I will make them for them (as I'm making my own dress too) The 7 & 9 year old bridesmaids have been BRILLIANT and told me EXACTLY what they want. My adult bridesmaid and MoH just keep saying to me 'oh, whatever you want' - what I want, is for them to pick something. And it just feels like if they can't even be bothered about their own dresses, how are they going to be bothered about anything else.
Also passing the under six month mark last week has put me into major freakout mode - and I know that other people plan weddings in less time, but I have 5 bridesmaids dresses to make, and 1 wedding dress (which admittedly, I've started already) and very few free weekends over the summer!
And my mother came to see the venue at the weekend, which is good, because now she likes the venue, but bad because she keeps saying 'oh, you should do this, and you should do that' and no, what I should do, is what I've already decided on, because that's what I want... ARGH
Ok, maybe I hadn't acknowledged how stressed I was before I started typing this... apologies, because apparently I'm really stressed!Officially saved enough to cover the cost of our wedding! :A0 -

It's not all it's cracked up to be lol, early starts, late nights, rubbish weather a lot of the time and pure hard work. It looks fun and it is when you see the display but it's the hard work that goes into it that's the worse lol.

Can understand the downsides in a way - I teach a competitive sportI just like the idea of it and the chemistry behind it
