r/bridesmaids

We are currently stuck in an AirBnB in Florida as the MOh refused to cancel the bachelorette even knowing a hurricane is coming (and is currently ongoing). MOH assured us all would be okay and the news overhypes things and she's been to Florida every year since she was a child and has never once encountered a hurricane even though she goes to Disney.

There are 7 of us stuck in this airbnb and many are worried and dont feel like partying with the wind whipping outside. MOH tried to liven it up and made her famous "disney margaritas" and said she had a surprise. 30 mins later "prince charming" shows up with a "pizza delivery", mind you the bride is not even into disney like that. MOH seems drunk and is going crazy making him dance because he's clearly a dancer and only paying attention to her. not that any of us care, but shes not the bride.

he finally turns his attention to another girl for like 10 seconds and the MOH goes nuts. starts accusing him of cheating, which we all are confused, its just some dancer. Nope. Come to find out this is her boyfriend she just recently got into a relationship with that no one has met yet. now they are full on fighting and causing a huge scene while we are all sitting there watching, and she tells him he cant stay the night. one of the girls asked "was he planning on staying here?" and MOH said yes because of the hurricane he cant get a hotel room.

now everyone is fighting because we had no idea this was happening, bride is horribly upset trying to get the first flight out. MOH is still in the other room arguing with her boyfriend and one of the other girls said she thinks her boyfriend is missing. another girl checked the pizza box and theres no pizza, so shes upset as we only have chips we got from the gas station, she thinks the prince charming boyfriend/dancer ate the pizza on his way over.

is there any way to resolve this or should i just open all the windows and let the wind take the power out of this god forsaken airbnb

My best friend is getting married next year. I usually have my hair different colors and she asked for all “natural” hair. I offered to wear a wig so I wouldn’t have to change my hair. And she got upset. I understand. But I don’t want the hassle of dying my hair and immediately changing it back to what it is now. She’s not getting married til May. I even offered to go the same color she chose for the wedding colors and that was no.

I’m willing to compromise on a wig but she is not. What do I do?

For context, my best friend’s destination wedding is in a few months. I am the only person in the bridal party with a child, and I am also the only person who will be traveling with their partner. Everyone else in the bridal party wants to get 2 hotel rooms and we all stay together while we’re there. I told them I would be willing to get a hotel in the same hotel so we can all still hang out. I also suggested we could get an airbnb so we could all be in the same house but still have our own space, it would also be cheaper. Everyone has said they don’t want to and it would be a better bonding experience if we all stayed together. To clarify, I am a childhood friend and everyone else are college friends. I’ve only met there people 2 other times. I told them that stay in a hotel with all of them with my daughter and my boyfriend isn’t realistic. My daughter is a horrible sleeper and would keep everyone awake. They suggested that my boyfriend get a separate hotel room and keep my daughter. I do not want to do that. I told them I could stay one night with them and leave my daughter with her dad, but I don’t want to be away from her every night for a week. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to do that?

edit to clarify: This discussion has happened in the bridesmaid group text. My friend (bride) is not in it, I did message her separately but she has not seen it yet because she is currently at work.

Hi everyone! Need your advice!

I am having 4 bridesmaids: one childhood friend, one college friend, one work friend, and one friend from the city that I live in. The friend from the city that I live in is part of a friend group between her, myself, and another girl. The other person in our friendship won’t be a bridesmaid.

I need to confront that friend and let her know that she won’t be a bridesmaid but I’m worried she’s going to be upset and have this not only hurt my friendship with her but our other friend as well. I have a feeling she expects them both to be bridesmaids so this might come as a total shock.

Have any one of you been in this position before? What should I say? Am I thinking too much into this?

Hello thank you for taking the time to read this, I have very few friends that are girls and even fewer weddings that I’ve been to so I don't know the proper protocol. for background my best friend is getting married, we've always looked very similar, now not so much as I've changed my hair color, and i'm a bridesmaid. I hate my hair curled most ways, can't do it well, and I also have no idea how to do any up-do's. I purchased a beach waver just to make it easy for myself and decided I would just do my hair wavy and half up. Well Just yesterday I've found out the bride is also doing waves because she doesn't like curls and is not doing a "half-up" but is braiding the face framing pieces and pulling them back. Should I return the beach waver and do something else now? Is there any ideas of something easy I can do with the waves that wouldn't look too similar to hers? It's her day I don't want to cause any problems or be "that girl" so I'm open to most ideas! :) edit: some have asked so i'll mention it here, I have talked with her about it. I asked her what she wanted and told her what I would be doing but she's very very sweet and said to wear "what makes you feel beautiful" but I don't want to look weird in her wedding photos I want her to be the most beautiful.
