to think that if my maid of honour has known about my wedding for two years

She and her husband should have stopped trying to conceive until I'd had the wedding? She's just told me she'll have a bump at the ceremony!!!!!!!

I chose her and the other bridesmaid because they would make a matching pair behind me. (Sadly, have no identical twin friends.) Now they won't match. She will completely ruin my day. AIBU?

ha ha. You must force the other one to get pregnant. It's the ONLY option.

TheNightIsDark · 31/12/2013 23:18

You should always choose fat spotty bridesmaids. Preferably carrot tops. And put them in pale yellow.

FreeWee · 31/12/2013 23:18

YABU. It's clearly going to make more of an impact in fuschia.

Shaky · 31/12/2013 23:19

How could she. That is just so disrespectful to you. She knew you were getting married, how fucking selfish.

Obviously a reverse AIBU

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 31/12/2013 23:21

Not a reverse AIBU. I reckon it is a "joke"

I've phoned up the other bridesmaid to explain that she needs to get pregnant. She called me a bridezilla!

The nerve. She should want to co-ordinate. I'm wondering whether she actually goes out in mismatching underwear now. May have to dump her as a friend after the cheque for my hen night clears. [cross]

Just a night? Hen fortnights are what everyone's doing now.

GoodNewsGrinch · 31/12/2013 23:24

I just can't believe some people!

You honored her with the chance to be your BM and she's goes and does this? What a cah.

You need new friends op. I had 10 BMs and they all agreed to have plastic surgery before my big day so that I would look radiant stood next to them. They also went on a strict fast food diet as I needed them to be bigger than me in the photos. Nobody was going outshine me on my wedding day. Thankfully, they all knew it was their duty to obey my every whim.

Your day, your way Hun.

I wanted to be understated and stylish. So just the one night in the Seychelles

See I knew it, TheBigJessie is up the duff!!! She's worried the bridesmaid being thin will make her bump show seeing as she's marrying in white Wink

KaFayOLay · 31/12/2013 23:31

I'm an identical twin.
We'll be your bridesmaids.

Might be a bit of an atmosphere as I've not spoken to or seen her in 8 years Hmm

neunundneunzigluftballons · 01/01/2014 00:30

Kay fay it is the new year perhaps in that spirit you can make up with your dsis and be available for the wedding. It will give you a chance to grow your hair the same length too.

MammaTJ · 01/01/2014 00:45

I love you OP! I may have had a drink or three but it doesn't make my love for you any less genuine!

Topaz25 · 01/01/2014 02:09

You've been planning for 2 years and didn't have the foresight to put your bridesmaids on the contraceptive implant? YABU.

TinyDiamond · 01/01/2014 02:14

OK. Calm down. Do you have any other pg friends that could stand in?

BillyBanter · 01/01/2014 02:35

Get them both inflatable sumo wrestler costumes to wear. They're sort of peachy coloured.

Invoice her for the extra costs.

MamaMumra · 01/01/2014 02:59

What a cow. Agree with joan - the other one must be impregnated ASAP. Very Angry for you OP Thanks

diddl · 01/01/2014 08:44

That's awful.

She's had two years-she should have popped one out by now so that you could demand she leaves it at home.

Sack them both-there must be some matching MNers you could use-or an MNer with a twin?

oldgrandmama · 01/01/2014 08:54

May I be your Maid of Honour? I know I'm seventy something but I'm still trim and slim and I'm sure I'll fit into the preggie Maid of Honour's frock (what does it look like, by the way? I look horrid in yellow or orange and scarlet doesn't suit me, either).

Will you provide matching support stockings? Just in case of deep vein thrombosis kicking in during all those bloody boring lovely speeches at the reception? And, assuming that I will be CHIEF Matron of Honour, is the Best Man hot? I may be old mature but I am a right lusty cougar. Many a fine tune on an old fiddle and all that.

Let me know, OP - and oops, before I forget - the Matron of Honour's shoes ... I prefer nice flat ones with velcro fastenings and also just remembered, I'm allergic to all flowers, so maybe some lovely artificial ones? I still have a dozen platic daffodils, from some detergent promotion back in the 1960s.

Spermysextowel · 01/01/2014 09:08

Choose me! I have platic 70s tulips & hidden within each stalk is a biro! All of the ink has dried up now but it would still be a very individual touch.

Joysmum · 01/01/2014 09:11

Brilliant, MN at its best Grin

NewtRipley · 01/01/2014 09:15

Get the other one to wear a cushion under her satin peach dress.
