@mdvorak29: What else is happening at 8am? Are you paying to have the girl's hair and makeup done?
What are the plans to fill the 5 hrs between 8 am and 1pm (when you have to be at the church)?
My wedding was at 3:30 and I had all my BMs with me to start getting ready at 9:30am because that's the time that hair and makeup needed to start for everyone to get done and dressed in time before the ceremony.
Hair and makeup are all getting done. I am paying for everyone's hair, and offered to pay for everyone's make up. But only one of my BM's (not her) took me up on it.
Everyone is getting dressed, eating, heading to the church. His other sister, whose daughter is 5 and the flower girl, didn't complain at all and arranged for other arrangements.
I told S1 (sister one) that being a bridesmaid is an honor and a responsibility at the same time, and if her priority was with her BF (her family made a big deal we werent engaged for awhile) then she could have said no.
The stylist told me to have everyone there at 745 (we have 7 people getting hair and 3 for makeup with a different beautician for that). I told them 8 am, except my MOH who volunteered to go early.
@mdvorak29: Then I'd just tell her that due to getting eveyrone's hair done you have to start at 8am.
Can you FI talk to her as well and let her know that she needs to be on time?
You aren't being bridezilla, you are paying for her to get her hair done so she needs to be there when you tell her to.
Well we were going to keep it between the 3 of us (me, fi, and her)...she complaing enough, her dad went to talk to my FI. and Matt told him that it's not his business and to have Sarah call me (which is when i told her that)
They were complaining her bf's airfare is so expensive it makes it not worth the money because he wont be spending time with her. Then we found out he hasnt bought it yet (he has a small part in the wedding too!) which is now a week away
Matt said he's giving S1 til tongiht to find out if her BF is coming or not. and if not, telling him we need to find someone to fulfill the role bc it's not fair to whoever ends up doing it.
@mdvorak29: Oooh, she sounds like a pain. As does the BF...get your stuff together, folks! I'd say that you have every right to be firm on the time, esp w/ hair appointments. It sounds like FI is backing you on this, so keep your chin up.
I can definitely see us in the same situation (Mr.ND doesn't have sibs, but close cousins that are always late) and I feel I may need to invest in a cattle prodder. LOL. Just do what you can, but don't stress on the big day...she's the one that will look dumb if she misses an appointment or is running around with her head cut off. On the day of, you can just tell her that you've got other things going on (like, ya know, getting married) and she needs to figure out her problems herself.
Hey we're date twins! :D Our weddings are coming up fast!
@deathbydesign Yay! So excited! What are your plans for the next week?? Im starting to stress!
First...Congrats on your wedding being so close!!!!!! Secondly....you FSIL is being ridic...but with the wedding being so close, you should pick and chose your battles. She doesnt want to come? Fine...she better have her hair done and be picture ready whenshe gets there. And reimburse you for the money you all ready spent.
You dont want her to be there if she doesnt want, her negative energy will mess up your morning! Have a happy wedding day!!!
@mdvorak29: Haha yeah I know how you feel!! I still have a bunch of last minute things to do! Plus, our wedding is 500km from where we live, so we're planning on heading to the location on wednesday next week so we can finalize things! It's been very busy lately lol!
No, you're NOT being a bridezilla. I agree with PPs that you should just reiterate that she needs to be there by 8am to get her hair and make up done. I also agree with PP that you don't want a pouty/bratty bm there raining on your parade so if she really doesn't want to be there, maybe you should ask her to not be in the wedding at all if she can't fulfill her duties.
I had a similar situation with my SIL, I had my FI deal with her. When I suggested that she just not be in the wedding he got the message loud and clear and talked to her about it. She was better....but I still wouldn't have called her a team player. LOL.
@yellowshoe yeah I forsee her showing up late and being grumpy throughout the day...
sad story, she's a little older than me, im 22, and probably a little jealous. pinterest says it all. but what can you do? not her day--not my issue, right?
Um, she needs to not be a bia. That is the time that she has to be there. The end. She shouldn't be trying to fight it. Like you said, this day isn't about her, and if she doesn't want to come at that time, then maybe she should do her own hair and makeup.
@Kenic315: yeah i guess we will see! im startign to stress over it a little bit! My brother lives in charlotte (owner of Charlotte running company) and my sister is a vet there!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I need advice QUICK.
My future sister in law is a bridesmaid in our wedding, and her boyfriend is coming in from out of town the night before.
Our wedding is at 2pm, and I asked all the bridesmaids to get there at 8am (we have to be at the church an hour early), and my mom and i wanted to do a nice breakfast with mimosas for the girls before.
She is complaining it is too early and wants to show up later? No offense, but the weekend isnt about her seeing her boyfriend, and she's making a huge deal of it. I haven't asked for much as a bride and I haven't pulled the bridezilla card...
what do i do?!
