Today, I was buried in texts from two of my bridesmaids about how much they hated their dresses. Dresses they helped pick. I can either be a bridezilla, put up with this for 4 more months, or ruin two friendships. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my two closest friends declared that they hated each other. They're my bridesmaids. The wedding is in three weeks. FML
Today, my bestie had me kicked out of her wedding the day of. All because I altered my bridesmaid's dress without telling her. She knows I hate fabric against my legs. FML
Today, I had to admit that I hate the wedding dress that I've designed. My wedding is in a week. FML
Today, my maid of honor, who offered to take care of my wedding dress before the D-Day, left it near her open window during heavy rain. My dress is now ruined, and she's backed out due to stress. I'm supposed to be getting married tomorrow. FML
Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML
Today, my sister backed out of my wedding because it was becoming too much about me. After I begged her to reconsider, I had no choice but to pick a new bridesmaid. When my new bridesmaid posted on Facebook how excited she was, my sister commented, "See, you made HER feel special." FML
Today, I was the Maid of Honor at my friend's wedding. Months earlier, we had a bitter fight, but she picked out a beautiful dress for me and I thought we were past it. When I began speaking, the lights changed to a weird brightness and my friend snickered. My dress was completely see-through. FML
Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML
Today, I went in to pick my wedding dress. My fiancé's ex-girlfriend was my consultant. She basically hinted that I looked fat in every dress. FML
Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's YOUR special day, not theirs.

You should remind them about how they helped pick out dresses they hate. I say be "bridezilla" in the sense that you're not going to change something just because they don't like it. It's your special day, not theirs.

Tell them if they hated them so much they should have raised more objections at the time - it's too late now, and it's definitely not unreasonable for you to ask them to stick with the choice, particularly if you've already paid! If they keep complaining then engage definitely engage Bridezilla mode!

100% be a bridezilla. If they are true friends they will suck it up. This is YOUR day, its not about them. If you like the dress, too bad for them.

Tell them that the day of speak now or forever hold your peace was on dress shopping day. They didn't speak up then so now it's time for them to hold their tongues.

Traditionally the bridesmaids pay for their own dresses so as long as they are wiling to pay the costs, I would. 1: ask the other bridesmaids what they think. 2: find out what it is they don't like about the dress 3: look for any ideas to alter the dresses to make them better 4: try to find new dresses for them as long as they are willing to pay for them 5: make sure they understand that this is your wedding not theirs and that if you can't find a reasonable solution they are going to have to choose between the dress or the friendship.

Hating the dresses is almost a requirement of being a bridesmaid, even if they logically shouldn't in this case. I say be a bridezilla, just in the sense that it's your day and they can deal with it for what will only amount to a few hours.

Why should OP have to give up having a beautiful wedding just because her 'friends' are being a couple of dumbasses?

Be a bridezilla tell them to stfu it's not about them it's about you it's your day your special moment remind them that they helped pick them if they don't want to be in the wedding party well having less two annoying ass bridesmaids won't change the outcome of the wedding...

Its your wedding not theres. In no way would you be bridezilla especially since they helped pick the dresses out. If they want to be that way then they aren't worth having in the wedding. For my wedding in February it didn't work for one of my bridesmaid's and instead changing the day i changed the venue and only invited 20 people instead of 50. Then again February 29 only comes around every 4 years. Congratulations on your special day and i hope it works out
