Yeah right! Pay her back?
I mean, I don't know the circumstances that lead to her backing out, but ultimately it was her decision. Accepting the role in a wedding comes with the understanding that you are going to be responsible for most expenses, whatever happens (at least to me it does).
Well, I wish you luck...only about a week and a half left!!

Wow, that is insane. Tiffany is right, when you accept that position there is an understanding that you will be responsible for the expenses. I could see if she was giving everything she bought to the new girl how she might want some compensation, but not all her money back. Hope all goes well!

The reason she left is because she didnt see why she had to help me plan everything...i planned my bridal shower and my bachelorette party, and when i called her she always told she had plans already! She even made plans the night of the bachelorette party! So really she can kiss my ***!

I pretty much planned my bachelorette party too...but that's more because I'm a control freak and wanted to make sure it was done how I wanted, haha. My MOH has been fantastic, thank goodness.
Sounds like you are better off without yours...and I definitely stick by my opinion that she's out of luck if she expects you to compensate her for what she spent. I'm sorry you are put through this so close to your wedding...I don't know what I would do it I were in your shoes!
We're here for venting and advice so let it all out

Unhappy Re: Countdown Stress..?

The thing that irritates me the most is that that wasn't my original bridal party. It was all family at first because i didn't want to deal with stupid stuff like this. My original bridesmaid Geneva didn't want to pay me back for the dress and never returned my calls, so i figured that she really didn't want to be in the wedding, so then i put Tina (the MOH that just quit) in because she said that she really wanted to be in it, and we've known each other since grade school, so i thought that i could trust her (guess i was wrong). Oh and to top in all off Geneva's husband Ricky (groomsman), Matt's (my H2b) brother called us 20 minutes before the guys final fitting and told us that they still love us but hes dropping out of the wedding along with their son who was our ring bearer! So we had to move everybody around, but that wasn't a problem with us it worked out better in the long run, but damn i really cant wait for it to be over! 11 days!!!!

Wow, I give you A LOT of credit, if I were in your shoes I would be a wreck. To look on the bright side, atleast you had one of each drop out so that kinda evened out I guess. You are so close, so don't let thi get you down, just keep taking it in strides and everything will be okay. It will all be worth it when you walk down the aisle.

The good thing is that everyone that dropped out had a replacement! I was very prepared for this type of stuff happening. I know that my wedding will be a blast and i cant wait for it to finally be here. Ive been waiting since February of last year for this day to come, and now its finally coming!

Smile Re: Countdown Stress..?

9 days
Last night was the first night that I haven't slept well during the countdown to wedding day... I kept waking up to write down things that I need to remember to do (I keep a notepad and pen by my bed). I sooo did not want to get up with the alarm this morning...then I get to work and I sooo don't want to be here! I'd much rather be running around trying to do all the things I put on my list last night, haha.

So that's my sleepy vent for today. Hope everyone else's plans are going well

So I am kinda freaking out because no-one is returning the reply cards. An aunt told me that her invite was received all mangled in the mail, so now I am worried that no-one received their invitations and that is why they are not replying. The invites asked for everyone to reply by 4/17/2008, so that is exactly a week ago. Is it too early to start freaking, or should I start calling and finding out what happened?

We sent out about 65 invites and I only got about half of them by the 'reply by' date. Wedding is in 9 days and I still am missing about 20 of them... The ones that didn't send a card back, I pretty much knew what the reply will be anyway, but those who didn't I just gave a call to. Even my mom didn't send hers back cause she didn't look at what the date was on the card!
I'd say if you're really worried that they got messed up in the mail, that you should give a call to people... But a week late on the replies isn't something to worry about yet (unfortunately some people just don't understand the importance of it). When you need to get numbers to your caterer, then you need to start harassing people!
Good luck
