    I am a fairly laid back person, so I wanted my wedding to represent that as well.  It is going to be very casual.  So, I am just having a MOH and no bridesmaids to keep it simple and avoid all the bridesmaid drama.  I told my MOH to just pick out some cute sundress or cocktail dress that she liked and would wear again.  However, I am gettting married in 13 days, and when I talked to her last week (after 4 days of trying to get a hold of her without success), she still had no dress.  So, that night I did some searching online and sent her an email with some ideas of dresses I liked that were also affordable, since I know she is a little strained financially.  I also sent her a text telling her I sent her the email.  It has been almost a week and I still have not heard a word from her.  Also, when I talked to her, she said she was coming in early to hang out with a friend of hers that lives 2 hours away and they are going white water rafting, and rock climbing ( I live in Colorado) a few days before the wedding.  I am a little annoyed with this since she has shown very little interest in the fact that I'm getting married, and also because I don't really want her to get hurt before the wedding.  I haven't said anything to her yet, because I'm wondering if I'm just being overly sensitive about things.  What do you guys think??

    I don't think it's unreasonable for you to want to know 2 weeks before the wedding what your MOH will be wearing! While you have mostly left up to her, it is still your wedding day and it should not be a surprise to you what she is wearing. You are NOT being a Bridezilla at all... maybe you just need to find a way to tell her in a heartfelt way that you have tried to be as flexible as possible (after all, most brides give their 'maids a lot more direction or a specific dress to wear), but now that it's getting down to the wire you'd like to know by X day what she'll be wearing. Maybe offer to pay 1/2 if you think the $$ factor is holding her back?  I would just try your best to remain calm and sympathetic so she doesn't feel like you're being demanding or unreasonable.

    In terms of the rock climbing and rafting, unfortunately I don't think you can dictate to her what she can do before the wedding... I would be JUST as concerned as you are, but I think this might be the case where all you can say is "be safe!" and hope that she'll be fine.

    Good luck!
