I just need a minute to VENT...

Yesterday was a friends wedding that I was in. So obviously the day before was the rehersal dinner. A month ago was the bridal shower. Last sunday was the bachlorette party. The bridal shower I hosted and cooked for 9 hours and was treated like garbage by the bride. we got into it. she never even apologized. The day of the rehersal dinner, we were late because my DF boss had a heart attack and was in the hospital. When we got to the rehersal, just in time, she ripped me a new one in front of about 20 people. I just walked away. during the whole rehersal and dinner she wouldnt even look at me or talk to me. The day of the wedding she shunned me all day, or just treated me like garbage , yelling at me and berating me. She wouldnt even let me say godby. she just shoved me away. So, upon leaving, I changed back into my street clothes and left the brides maid dress , the shoes and the necklace in the dressing room as a message of "I get it". I took care of her for 3 months last year when she was really sick. But she loudly stated while hugging another brides maid how glad she was that "other people" knew how important this was to be ontime, but only the one she was hugging was on time. Like I planned my DF boss to have a heart attack on the rehersal day. How selfish of us. Needless to say, there has been no apology, and she will no longer be welcome in or at my wedding. I have decided to end this friendship. It was so embarrassing when strangers like the make up artist and the food servers who witness her treatment of me , came up to me on the side to ask how I was. I asked the other brides maids what they thought and said that "yes, the bride was awful but being particulary awful to me" . No one knew why. I am mad and sad, I thought this person was my friend. I know this part is shallow, but she didnt have fun at all. All day at her wedding all she did was gripe and moan about "this is wrong or that didnt work out etc." Its like she didnt even notice that there were 300 people around who loved her and were happy for her and that she paid about 2000- and her family covered the rest, about 25,000-. I have to rant about one more part. My wedding will be at disneyland on oct. 31, 2008 and my favorite color is pink. She HATES pink and HATES Disneyland. So naturally she berated me about my love of pink and the mouse all day yesterday. She turned into a complete psycho crazy awful person since she had been planning this wedding. I even drove her around to taste cakes!!! GRRR. I am remembering so much that I did for her. I cant believe I let some one treat me like this.
I vow, in front of all of you, I will never ever treat my brides maids or anyone else the way she did. I dont anyways, I am very careful about being very polite. I have been having a blast planning my wedding. I just dont understand how someone could treat people so badly.
WHEW! Thanks for letting me get that out. So fellow future brides, have fun, things go wrong but life isnt perfect. We only have so many days on this earth, so use them wisely and remember that others have only so many days too, so dont make them feel like they wasted a day with you! Because, I wish I could have these days back from this bridezillas wedding nightmare.
Thanks for the Vent!! I needed it.

Thats to bad

Some brides are just way too uptight!

I'm with you on being polite to my wedding bride:

I have been a maid for a bride and you would have thought she was my boss or something ...I was like, listen sweety... I bought my dress, your bachelorette party, and risked skin damage under the bulb for YOU ... so BACK OFF!!! lol


Happy Planning!

I feel like sending her a bill!! lol

lol, not a bad idea with the bill,

I'm sorry this had to happen to you. That bride was way out of hand and now all she will remember about her wedding day was how she was so angry the entire time. I hope she is not in your wedding party. Thanks for sharing your frustrations!
