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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got a call that my custom order bridesmaid dress is at the apartment complex I just moved out of. They won’t give it to me because I’m no longer a resident, but they just thought I should know. The wedding’s tomorrow. FML
Today, it is my wedding day. I couldn't find my very expensive wedding dress anywhere. After almost 2 hours of panic and chaos, I found it in my pool, covered in red paint, with a note on one of my lounge chairs reading, "Today is MY wedding day, bitch." FML
Today, I went to pick up my wedding dress from the seamstress, only to find out that my fiancé called two weeks ago to say I wanted the dress "tie-dyed to match our new theme." She believed him. Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I stretched out my wedding dress on my bed so it could air out before the big day tomorrow. Later I returned to my room only to find my cat on my wedding dress, it peed on it. 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, my maid of honor and best friend of 10 years won't answer my texts and blocked me on social media. This is because last night she and my fiancé got into a huge drunken fight about who loved me more and she stormed off. I get married in 5 hours and I have no idea where she is. 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
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 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
Today, it's the day before my friends' wedding. My dress has not yet been shipped from the online shop where I ordered it three weeks ago, the hand-crafted gift that was ordered last month is trapped at customs and my cats have just managed to open the drawer and eat the wedding card. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry, my wife was sick on our wedding day. She was in the bathroom for more then half the reception. And it was still a great day.

D-Day is June 6, so you should have plenty of time to dry out the dress and get someone else to be you maid of honor.

I hate ppl who back away with the "stress" rather than finding a solution to the problem they created. Accidents happen but I'd have been racing round the internet as soon as I realised and ready to present to you all the available options when I told you, to at least limit the impact of my mess.

She was jealous

What!? If I made a ****-up like that I'd be doing everything in my power to sort it out, not backing out due to stress... I hope your wedding still goes well despite this. :(

Spoken like a true potential groomsman. Hell yeah.

Killing her would be justified. But bail can be expensive. Damn it. Any way to rent a dress ASAP?

The dress doesn't matter? Do none of you realize how expensive wedding dresses are? They can range from 200-10k+ pending on material, designer, style, etc. I'd be pretty pissed off if my maid of honor did that to me. So much that i'd expect her to pay for the ruined dress. Of course, I'm the type to plan for these types of situations. So I would probably have a less expensive and less fancy backup dress just in case.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way. I watch "say yes to the dress" and all of them are so expensive and most are so gorgeous...I'd be insanely pissed off at her. This type of thing is why I'd never trust anybody other than myself with it.

I agree, wedding dresses are expensive, I would expect her to pay for the dress that she ruined! Not only was OPs friend extremely careless with the wedding dress (leaving it near a window at all would be a big no-no in my opinion, not to mention the fact that an open window even when it's not raining would have been a careless decision) but she didnt do anything to try to fix the situation. I think if a friend had made a mistake like this but then gone about trying to fix the situation and come up with a range of solutions (if strangers on FML can brainstorm some I'm sure a friend who knows the bride well enough to be MOH definitely could!) it would be forgivable. By backing out of this situation after she created it I wouldn't let her come to the wedding or talk to her for a long long time.

200-10k? dont make me laugh why spend so much on a dress you will wear once except for vanities sake. my dress coat £90 the whole wedding was under 3000. people who spend 10k or more on one day on thier lives are in my opinion mental

i totally agree, my friend from work told me about how someone she knows set a budget of £50,000! we've budgeted £8000 for ours, and that's including everything. the marriage is much more important than the wedding

I don't understand why the dress needs to be delivered. I would never give anyone that responsibility

And this is why you should NEVER trust anyone else but yourself with your dress. Ever. You should make that dumb bitch pay for every penny of it.

Im so sprry OP. I would just die. I know the marriage is important but you probably spent a lot of time and maybe a lot of money. The dress is important to a lot of people. That "friend" would have paid for the dress or be sleeping with the fishes...
