  2. now the issue is that my fiancee is sooooo mad about the situation that he will not go to their wedding.. mind you i am the maid of honor and i refuse to go to the wedding alone. honestly i am torn, but at the same time, i have been through enough,
  3. they are keeping the money.. they have a choice to refund it, they just dont want to
  4. has anyone else had their friends show their true colors when crap hits the fan? i have had multiple things happen... i am the maid of honor for my supposed to be best friend.. well she is being a bridezilla (im stating that lightly).. i have had to pay 200 bucks for a bridesmaid dress... she kicked out one of her bms already and 1 more including me are about to say see-ya! her wedding is in september, and everytime something happens i get the blame.. now mind you i have basically done all the work, made the bridal shower invites (65 of them) then paid for stamps to send them all out, and done lots of things for the shower... totaling over $250!!! now my fiancee has to work and wont be able to go to their bachelor party.. (they just put the deposit down, or half the money down this last weekend) we called them on tuesday, 3 days after they put down some money to tell them the bad news... now the best man is being a jerk and refuses to comprimise to even get partial money back.. (mind you it was $140) sooo now i got into it with bridezilla, and another bm did as well.. she has yet to call either one of us... so we havent bothered planning her bachelorette party.. idk with all this drama, if they are not willing to comprimize and give me back at least some of my money, i will not be in the wedding,.... this time should be fun and exciting, not this kind of drama! i am curious, has anyone experienced this stuff at all? and what advice do you have? do i suck it up and just not plan anything anymore since none of the BMs did anything? idk comments and feedback please!!
  5. someone make me an offer! i would hate to see these go in the trash!
  6. please pm me if they dont sell, i will send you my paypal
  7. sounds like my issue... in http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/75572/family-dilemma-help that thread.. well it should be up to you and your fi because it is your wedding and your day.. but after the drama i have gone through and still am going through.. i just really thought deep and hard to see what we wanted to do... so yes again in saying it is your wedding and your day.. but with everyone's feelings in mind, it is just one day.. (as i have been constantly reminded) this is why i cancelled mine.. it breaks my heart, but i have to realize so there wont be family fights in the future.. it is better off to give in to it and just have an at home.. at least that is my opinion, that is what i did. i know it sucks, but really think what you and your fi want. just throwing in my 2 cents
  8. I have some beautiful wedding invites for sale... not able to have my dream wedding, my loss your gain, will post more items when i find them. brand new in box just took them out to take a picture. 10 of them i paid 40 bucks so hoping to get something for them.
  9. no one can afford to go, we have had multiple friends and family fights about it.. i guess it just wasnt meant to be. thanks for the words of wisdom ladies
  10. well here is the last and final update using this website... i will be on here to sell all my destination wedding things i have purchased to try and recover some of the loss i have had financially.. unfortunately my inlaws, and my family refuse to do a destination wedding. they say that it puts a huge "burdin" on them and what they need to do in their lives. they want me to do what i want to do, but of course "with costs" to family relationships.. so i guess everyone wins but me, yet again... i will not be having a destination wedding. I have always said if my family couldnt go, meaning my father couldnt walk me down the aisle that i wouldnt do the whole destination wedding thing.. and i am going to hold true to my word. even though this breaks my heart, i can't walk down the aisle alone.. i guess this is how things are supposed to be, even though i disagree, what can i do right? well thanks for everything ladies, and i will most likely be using ideas off of this site, and wanting to use opinions.. i wont be able to do a destination wedding planning thread
  11. i want it to work, but i am not willing to give any chances... i have gave her chance after chance, and still nothing.. so i am completely done. 110% done.
  12. yeah i guess that is true, but now i really dont want to get together with them for holidays and other gatherings.. idk am i overreacting?
  13. Ok I guess I am here once again to vent, because I just am at a loss of what to do. Here is some background information before I get started. Since my last post there has been beyond family fights, there have been verbal abuse, and everything has been taken to an extreme yelling level. After my SIL wedding had ended I was the one who got asked less than a month before her wedding to be the last minute flower girl.. she had a gift for all her brides maids but me, she didn’t even buy me flower petals to toss out. I was in barely any of the photos and I was treated very badly at her wedding. After the wedding she came home to visit her parents and saw us multiple times. I didn’t get a thanks for everything you have done for me, a thanks for their wedding gift or anything! I let this slide for a while.. 3.5 months later I finally get a thank you card and a gift after it came out in a family fight. I got some gift card to like target or something and a thank you card.. (better late than never I guess) then I asked multiple times about the wedding photos, which to this day I finally got to see them almost 7 months later due to some family members taking some. They had 3 photographers.. 3~!~!!!!!! not one not two but THREE photographers.. which you would think we would get to see some photos, and since her parents (my FI parents) paid for their ENTIRE wedding you would think at least the people who paid for the wedding would get some photos for free. Well mind you they posted them on facebook for their friends, but never gave anything to their parents or their immediate family. Everyone got to see them before us.. which is fine they live 2.5 hours away so I understand that.. but all I wanted was the copies where my FI and I were there and 1 family photo shot.. well needless to say that also turned into a huge family fight. I got my behind chewed out for posted one photo of the bride as she was getting ready on facebook, (even though her best friend did the EXACT same thing.) I got my butt chewed out, my fiancée was threatened that he would get kicked outta the house, and that his sisters now husband was going to beat up my fiancée. Of course this is sooooo much fun. We had a family “meeting†and we all know how fun those are… well needless to say I told the family how I felt, and how their daughter caused so many issues with me, and didn’t like me.. of course her family backs her up, and says I am being ridiculous.. so ok I move on.. so may 18th this past Friday was my birthday… everyone from my SIL’s family remembered my birthday BUT my SIL and her Husband.. (mind you this is the 2nd year in a row she has “forgotâ€) but It is really funny her birthday is a week away from mine every year!!! She also has facebook, a ipone, and all the accessories to remind her of my day.. yet she NEVER called, texted, facebooked, or what not… so again another year where I feel like I am NOT a part of the family. So my fiancée was so gun hoe on telling his sister happy birthday on her day. I told him that it would hurt my feeling if he did that to me. Of course I don’t want to stoop to her level, but I just feel so hurt. Last year I got her my grandmother’s jewelry box filled with over $50 worth of jewelry. And I never even got a thank you. She never congratulated us when we got engaged. NOTHING!! So I called her last night and asked her if she forgot something.. she didn’t say anything.. I was bawling and said you missed my birthday again this year… I want nothing to do with you anymore, and I disconnected the call. I am beyond hurt on this situation.. because to put the icing on the cake!!!! She called my mother in law when I was there upset, and she said they are truly sorry for forgetting but they had no idea… so now my mother in law is once again backing her daughter when she is 110% wrong! I am at wits end, I am to the point I don’t want to be around her during any social event, I don’t even want her at the wedding. Of course my mother in law is disappointed in me for being so tough…. But when do I say enough is enough.. and why do I always have to be the bigger person? I think it is funny that even though the SIL claims her husband and her “forgot†my birthday, I have YET to hear a apology…. Idk I am at a loss for this, my fiancée doesn’t want to get involved because he is afraid he will get kicked outta the house, (we are saving for a house, and paying off bills before the wedding) he agrees with me 100% but yet is scared of what could happen.. which I cant say that I blame him. Now the mother in law is pissed off that I wont even try to fix things, or even invite her to the wedding.. so now the MIL and FIL probably wont come.. funny thing we don’t even have a date yet, but more drama arises. Idk what to do… any words of wisdom.. I have more issues with another bride.. I am her MOH and am at a loss to make her happy… I just feel like everything is going wrong when this shouldn’t even be an issue.. PLEASE HELP!!!!
