My friend is getting married in November, and I am a bridesmaid. She's been engaged for five years, and has spent every minute of these last five years planning the wedding. I love her to bits, but she is driving me mad!
Every time I see her, all she has to talk about is the wedding. Even through Christmas week, this was the sole topic of conversation. We have had our bridesmaid dresses for over a year already, and we are now being harrassed to try them on a few times again between now and the wedding. She has told the bridesmaids exactly how she wants our hair and makeup, and we have to pay for these things.
Her hen do is costing an absolute fortune. Four nights and five days away, which I think is completely over the top. I don't begrudge doing anything she wants me to do, nor paying for it, but she doesn't seem to appreciate exactly how much time and money everyone is having to spend on her wedding. I worked out that it will cost me nigh on £1,500 overall.
She is constantly reminding us how much she has spent on the wedding whilst telling us that no one should not be attending her hen do or not staying at her wedding venue overnight on the wedding day etc. despite how much it costs, because she is having to pay more overall. This is true, but it's her wedding, not ours.
She appears to be under the impression that her wedding is the biggest event happening in everyone's lives. I have a fairly busy job, and I am now getting texts and Facebook messages throughout the day from both her and her grandmother regarding plans for the hen do and the wedding which I could really live without.
AIBU to think she has to calm down and stop being so utterly self obsessed?
