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.

Just tell them to change the dresses if they don't like them, that should avoid you having to put up with the situation and ruining friendships.

Just send this text to them: "This wedding is about me and my partner, not you. Don't like it? Don't show."

This is why I am buying infinity dresses for my bridesmaids. 1. There's only 2 (MoH and 1 Bridesmaid) 2. My money, they can STFU 3. If they don't like it, they can change it! Beauty of the Infinity dress. If OP gets around to reading this, infinity dresses can be found on Etsy for as cheap as $30 to $100 in nearly any color.

My sister used an infinity dress as well. I love the idea of them. There are so many possibilities!

You could, just for fun, talk to them about it. Find out why they didn't say something BEFORE the dresses were bought. YOu know, communication is key...

Simple fix, you just have to wear a dress uglier than theirs to make them feel better

They helped pick them out, tell them they either cut the crap or they'll be replaced. Surely there are other women in your group of friends of family who'd like to be bridesmaids and won't make a fuss.

"Please remember that you helped me pick these dresses. I didn't hear any of this back then. You had plenty of chances to tell me you didn't like them before the decision was made and you chose not to do that. It's too late to change them now. You only have to wear them for one day." And then don't discuss it any further. This isn't being bridezilla, it's pretty reasonable.

They are terrible friends for putting you through this.
