don't get me wrong, i love the bride and the groom but its fucking ridiculous how much money they're spending on shit that they couldn't care less about.

@ the bride not standing up for herself and emphasizing what she REALLY wanted.

Thank goodness, I've only been a bridesmaid once...and it was for my sister so of coarse I didn't mind.

I would NEVER ask anyone to be one and expect them to pay for all the shit you have to buy. If and when I get married, I'm fucking eloping and saying fuck all that mess

i kind of went through the same thing. We wanted a really small wedding. There were only a few aspects that were important to me: my father walking me down the aisle, first dance with my husband, and dancing salsa all night long. But my mother-in-law wasn't having it. It "has to be done this way for it to be done right" . And then she started inviting a bunch of her friends that DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EITHER OF US.
Me and her argued back and forth for months. I gave in on SOME of her friends because she told me they were buying us big gifts...which they did.
it all turned out beautifully and for less than $4000 which his mom paid for most of it. i have no complaints

now i get to be a bridesmaid for miles' wedding and it's LESS STRESSFUL

That's how I feel about it. Well, I didn't pay for any of it, my Dad did, but I didn't feel right asking for my girls to pay for anything at all. Luckily, my parents just thought we were supposed to cover everything, including bridesmaids' expenses, so they didn't even blink. Plus, I only had a maid of honor and one bridesmaid, so it wasn't like there was an entourage of chicks attending to me.....just two.

I understand though, that many brides and their families simply can't afford it with all the other expenses.

Sorry you are having to deal with all that, Alexis.

At least you will look beautiful.

ok I thought you were going to say like 4 or 5 months! 2 years....much better!

reddaisy6 · 07-24-08, 04:49 PM

I've never understood the concept of asking someone to be your bridesmaid and then have THEM pay for everything. I think the bride should be responsible for dress/shoes/alterations.

If I get married my bff will be the maid of honor - no bridesmaids/ugly dresses needed.....
