I don't want to be part of your wedding because your mum didn't invite me to hers!

When I've been bridesmaid I've never been to the bride's dress fitting & it never bothered me either that I wasn't there. Some brides like their dress to be a surprise to most people

I don't think it's "normal" to invite the bridesmaids to a wedding dress fitting at all. For some weddings the logistics of this would be a nightmare and it's hard enough getting all the bridesmaids together to choose their own outfits. Sometimes bridesmaid attend, sometimes they don't. Nothing to fall out over, surely.


My daughter had me and her sister at the choosing of the dress and just me at the fittings. For the other bridesmaids it would have meant a journey of over 2 hours just for a half hour appointment. No way.


OP, your friends sound totally unreasonable and I think you've had a lucky escape.

She didn't do anything !

Yes she did. She reacted on a forum about no marks, who should be totally ignored for what they supposedly did.

If you are mature and not a Bridezilla this will not upset you. You shrug and say "so what" that's two down, now who's next!

Aged about 6 so, I'd say. In fairness.

Spendless

It's so unbelievably childish and petty.

Yes, friends of your OH and brother not friends of the parents. You are far more likely to know your mates parents if you form a friendship when young because you'll go around each others houses to play doesn't make you onto their wedding guest list. This is bizarre.

How old are you? 5 or something?

Bridezilla, darling, you need to grow up.

Are you confused (and a bit rude)? The OP hasn't done nothing wrong as far as I can see. No bridezillas here.

People are not robots, no matter what they have done now they are still past friends - if someone suddenly falls out with you for a stupid reason no you can not just ignore it and forget they existed.

You obviously don't have close relationships if you can just cut friends out like that.

This isn't even worth arguing about everyone else can see how silly that remark is without need to justify it.

Is the wedding about you and your future husband, or about others?

Are you a grown up?

Will you need counselling to get over this horrible trauma?

Ridiculous.

And your reacting on a forum about the same 'no marks' as you call them.
So you must be 6 also
