Weddingbee boards

I have three bridesmaids who I decided would wear matching dresses (MOH has one design and the two others has a matching but different design).

I told them I would order and fix everything with shipping and such but only two of them said I should take care of things for them, my last bridesmaid lives in california so she wanted to go to the retailer and fix it on her own. Now (almost a year after getting their dress details) she still hasn't ordered her dress and Mori Lee no longer has the style of dress on their pages nor can I find it online at the store where i bought the others.

I know a bridesmaidsdress might cost a bit for a student, but I picked dresses they could wear again and they all liked the dresses and agreed to pay for them themselves. She has had almost a year to get a hold of it. My other girls are also students and have put money aside for their dresses from the start. My girl who lives in california will only need to pay about half the price of the dresses the other girls got (due to customs and shipping into norway).

Am I alowed to be irritated?

Sorry, just had to get it out...

@vmec: I think i've reminded her at least once a month, for the last 5 or six months. And i have offered to order it more than once. There really isn't anything else i think i could have offered to do. I even printed out a detailed description w/maps of all the retailers near her college in california (there were at least 4 of them), and she's gotten links to two or three internett based retailers. I think she's either just hoping i'll say "okay, just find a different dress" (wich would totally screw up the look i wanted) or she's just been really lazy about getting it done. I mean, how hard is it to go online and order a dress. I have planned all of our wedding details on the web, even booked the venue unseen (only photos on their website).

@cabanagrl9: I don't know, I live in Norway and there is no way i can get that dress unless i can find it online (wich I haven't been able to so far, not in her size anyway), found one thats similar but not quite right. If she can get to the retailer they might have the possibility to order the dress from the manufacturer even though they don't really make them anymore (i don't know if they do or not, but since it's not on the website i guess they don't). If they can't order it, they might have a sample dress she can get cheaper. The only other option i have is to check out ebay to see if something shows up. Or find a dress that is similar enough (allthoug it would totally bug me forever anyway).

@vmec: I haven't been able to ask her verbaly due to me living in Norway and she in California, totally different timezones so i only have about 5 minutes each morning before work to chat with her on facebook. So not really easy to get all the talking done. And i don't want to be the nagging bride who's really demanding. I already feel bad for sending her e-mails and messages. And her mother (very good friend of the family, sort of always called her my aunt even though she isn't biological) says that it's because she hasn't been able to afford it, but then she could have told me, not just her mother. Or maybe her mother could have lent her the money since she told her mother but not me. Hehe, my friend (who got married last year) used to bug me about turning into a bridezilla.. Maybe it's coming;)

Good news. I finally got through too my bridesmaid and she said she will be calling around the shops and checking out some of them to see if she can find the dress.

@bliss989: She told me she liked the dress even before i asked her to be my bridesmaid (back when the dresses were only a dream). She did respond (finally) and is going on a dress hunt. Hopefully she'll be able to get a hold of one, or have one made to look like the real one.

Thank you all for your advice. I appreciate it=)
