am bridesmaid for a friend in a few months time.
Big, no expense spared wedding which is happening about 2 hours drive from me (I don't drive), prob 3ish hours by public transport.
Bride has picked our dresses. I have already been over once to be 'measured' (and told I have to have a dress which is massively too big but will be taken in 
)
Anyway, now apparently we have to try on. I have never seen dress other than in a photo. Trying on can only happen on a weekend.
We then have to go back for a fitting, which can only be on a weekday.
I don't see why I need to try it on, however have suggested 2 dates when my bf can give me a lift over. Neither is convenient to everyone else. However those are the only dates I can get a lift, otherwise I'm doing a 6 hour round trip to try on a dress for 10 mins.
Am already pissed off have got to waste an entire days annual leave as well for the fitting.
AIBU to say I'll go for the trying-on on either date I've suggested, and if thats not convenient skip it entirely??
