    I have made every effort to accomodate our guests and be courteous of their needs, but some people have been complaining to me and it is starting to hurt my feelings. My bridesmaids dresses came in and are waaay huge, despite the measurements being correct. It's too late to order new ones and the store won't help us anyway. The girls are making a big deal of complaining that their dresses are going to be difficult to alter. Also, I registered at Bloomingdale's specifically because they are known for excellent customer service. But my mom has had many problems with my registry (paid items not being shipped, not being gift wrapped, arriving broken, orders being cancelled without notice). The other night she spent a long time complaining about it to me. Everyone is making me feel like I chose crappy vendors, even though I chose only those with good reputations. Is anyone else fielding a lot of complaints over which they have no control? It's starting to hurt my feelings. I asked my mom not to tell me about any more things that go wrong, and she got all offended and hurt.

    Are you my twin? Because these exact same things have been happening to me lately, with the same results. It's been making me feel like I have no idea what I'm doing or why I'm doing it, and consequently, I'm second-guessing myself and my decisions.

    I don't really have any advice, but I just wanted to commiserate! Hang in there!

    You know, I was just working on a post but decided to not post it

      I feel the same way and I am so angry.

     

        I'm not having a problems with the things you are though- my wedding is an adult only and about 7 of my guests have a huge issue with this.  One of which is my Aunt who is poison.  

     

       I suggest rising above it.  That's all you can do.  Remain calm when someone complains to you with a problem, and just say- What would you like me to do?  It's not your fault.

     

        You'll be ok, just be strong- and remember it's just a wedding.
