    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.

    Now now. Personal insults are not good unless I say so!

    Can't you see that this issue will not be resolved, unless the B and G build that bridge and get over it?

    Otherwise, what will happen? Falling out all round and a tearful
    Wedding Day. For what and for whom?

    Well if everyone didn't attend weddings over a dress fitting nobody would have come to mine! Didn't invite anyone to my dress fittings, just me and the lovely ladies in the shop. There is no law that you have to have anyone. I don't get on with my Mother and my husbands Mother had sadly passed away.

    Yes I had bridesmaids but two of them were little children and to be honest it didn't occur to me to invite my grown up one, I mean I chose my dress, honestly didn't care if anyone other than my husband liked my choice so why did I need an audience? It's a personal choice and something nobody should get upset about.

    Your "friends" sound a bit odd. Sorry.

    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.

    Lots of people post threads on here, it doesnt make them a bridezilla.

    sometimes brides even go on their own to choose their dresses! sometimes they take along mum. some brides take along the mum, mil, bridesmaids, the next door neighbour.............Its YOUR call! there isn't a strict etiquette about it.
    but to refuse to attend a wedding because they weren't invited to someone elses wedding..............that's beyond weird. Surely we all understand that guest lists are often limited?

    I would imagine that whats being said could just be an excuse.

    Maybe your posts are coming across as being a tad rude.

    Hence the wow.

    I'm just posting a balancing opinion.

    Weddings just seem to bring out the worst in people IMV. And that is on both sides of any argument.

    Time to gird the loins, and enjoy the day. With or without those who seemingly have offended you.

    It is not something that can be solved easily. You think one way, they think the other,

    They may have valid issues.

    Have you actually spoken to them face to face? If not, and if that is not an option, then shrug the shoulders and get on with it.

    Or get married in Gretna Green with two unknown witnesses.

    I think certain of the wedding threads are open to my kind of reaction. There is just so much angst and all the rest of it.

    Childish reactions make me laugh. God almighty don't we all know weddings cause trouble!

    Exactly.


    I thought the "wow" was explanation enough.
