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

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.

Sorry but these girls are not your friends. It's your day, not theirs and they shouldn't be acting like spoiled brats.

why is it bridezilla if you stand your ground? One sentance to them: MY DAY! BE HAPPY OR STAY HOME. Block their texts and numbers if they continue and stop negotiating.

I think you should just calmly let them know that they helped to pick them out, and they should've spoken up before purchasing them.

This day is not about them. They had a chance to give input earlier when they helped pick out the dresses. Their window of opportunity is now closed. They absolutely need to grow a pair and deal with it. Every other bridesmaid ever has done the same. And if they are willing to give up your friendship over a dress, then they were never good friends in the first place.

You don't deserve friends that leave you over bridesmaid dresses. If they do, maybe you shouldn't be friends with them in the first place.

It's okay at least you don't have to deal with a monster in law. All my future mother in law can say about my wedding is how it's an embarrassment and ruining her reputation. She refuses to be a part of the wedding as well. She has already had a fight with my mother about how it's her fault because my parent's are paying for the wedding. I'm also getting married in 4 months.

You should pick the dresses you love most. If they are genuine friends, they will wear them on your most special day. Or call me; I'll wear it. Your wedding day should be all about you and your soon-to-be husband. Everyone else is an accessory.

I hate the color of my dress, but I never said a word to anyone else in the bridal party. Sure, I bitched to all hell to my parents and friends, but no one else in the wedding. It's not my day!

Sounds like you wouldn't be really losing out if you lost these two geniuses as friends.

and when I say I wouldn't want bridesmaids people look at me like I'm weird.
