In which case, they're both well out of order and don't deserve a dress as beautiful as the one you have chosen!

I think that it is easy sometimes for bridesmaids to forget that it is not just a 'shopping trip' and that it is hugely important and meaningful for you. They have both been very insensitive and thoughtless.

Maybe you need to remind them how important it is to you that they are there for you, not just on the day, but in the run-up, and that you will need them to commit to dates for fittings, hair trials etc. If they're not prepared to do that because of lost earnings/time with boyfriend etc then do they really want to be your bridesmaids?

that is so harsh! I'm buying my sisters dress because she's a hard up student, i'd be devestated if she then proceedded to sell it to make money!

Thanks girls. I really didn't want to tell them what dress to wear because when I was a bridesmaid two years ago (ironically for my best friend) she chose the dress with her sister. Her sister is a completely different size to me and I found the dress uncomfortable - particularly after canapes and a three course meal. So I wanted to make sure everyone was involved and that everyone was comfortable.

Glad it's not a true bridezilla moment though!

I'm a bridezilla and I want my sister, who is one of my BM to stop losing weight! :eek:
I'm so pleased that my wedding has given her the motivation to lose the baby weight she's been trying to get rid of for a year or so but I am hiring my BM dresses and they only have set sizes that can only be altered so much and I'm worrying it's going to look stupid!
I know I should be happy for her but I want her to stop it
I am having four BMs and am paying for the dresses which is why I am hiring them because there is no way I can afford to buy that many BM dresses.
OH has said that if we have to we will find the money to buy replacement dresses but the problem is I will not know until TWO DAYS before the wedding if there is any major problem! :eek: So even if we could find money to replace them I would have 48hours to find 4 purple BM dresses!
Maybe I can put some protein shake in her tea

Emsbet... I know what you mean. One of my BM's yo-yo's like mad, the other is losing weight but has MAJOR body confidence issues.

I know choosing dresses is going to be a nightmare!!!

I would speak to her if I were you, and just say exactly what you said above.

I might leave out the protein shake part

I have mentioned it to her but more in a light hearted way. I don't want to put her down when she's doing so well but she's already lost 6lbs and there's still another 5 months until the wedding! I'm just hoping that she'll pig out at christmas! :rotfl:

I am feeling like such a bridezilla today, and I feel bad cos I shouldnt! We went to look at honeymoons today, as we keep changing our minds on what we want to do!
Anyhow, we thought on the US, and quite fancy Vegas and LA. Went to the travel agent and she found us 4 nights in Vegas, and 6 nights in LA, in nice hotels, going World Traveller Plus with BA for £3k. I know its a huge amount of money, but we have saved plus are getting money from the in-laws. I thought it sounded ace. H2B wasnt so sure. The he decided he fancied Italy, and looked at 5 nights in Rome, and 5 nights in Sorrento, in 3* and 4* hotel. It came in at £2200. I kinda grudge paying £2.2k to nip across the water, when for another £800 we could go in slightly more style to the US!
I know I sound like a right old b**ch, and an ungrateful one at that, but I had my heart set on the US, as I reckoned we should do a long haul before we settle down and had babies! I have had a wee cry (more out of annoyance at myself tbh!), and I feel really guilty for even being annoyed at my H2B!

Someone sort me out please!:eek:

edit - I feel bad that I am being such a cow btw, I re-read the first sentence at realised that it looks like I shouldnt feel bad for being a bridezilla, when I def should be feeling bad!!

Sounds like you and your future husband need to decide on honeymoons together. You shouldn't do Rome because he wants to and he shouldn't do America because you want to.

Have you looked here? There are some great deals http://www.virginholidayscruises.co.uk/cruise-deals/

Gandy... look at the pics of Robbie's wedding... their dogs were their "bridesmaids"

They had flowers around their collars... maybe an idea?

I think it's a fab idea to have the dog going down the aisle to keep your nephew calm. Remember it will be a well trained dog!

oh i'm over the moon that my nephew is getting an assistance dog, he's completely dog mad and they've been known to be a fantastic with helping autistic children keep calm and unflustered as well as being great for preventing the kids from bolting as the kids can be attached to the dogs harness when they're out and about.

i have absolutely no problems with the dog walking down the aisle if it means my nephew is happy, he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want during the wedding.

and by the time the wedding comes round he should be well bonded with the dog as they're getting her pretty soon :j she's also supposed to be a fantastic dog, one of the best they've trained!
