Ouch!

When my daughter got married we paid for everything, including the bridesmaid dresses.

Bridezilla

LDS inc asks its MORmON members to pay for ......EVERYTHING THAT MORmON Leaders want including a 5 billion dollar mall for Hinckley.

So glad I don't have friends like that.

Leaving, that was nice. Most people have no compunction asking the bridesmaids to shell out hundreds of dollars for a dress for someone else's wedding that they'll never wear again.

My daughter scoured the different department store websites until she found a dress that would look good at her wedding and that the girls could wear again. I think we paid less than $100 per dress.

What nerve!

What a self-centered person.

I hope they said, 'No way'.

They're all nuts. Apparently the bridesmaids were encouraging the bride to "go for it" when she was contemplating the $10.5K dress. Who would do that, unless you knew that the bride and/or her family were wealthy and had an unlimited budget?

I was always grateful that I was never asked to be a bridesmaid. I could not have afforded it. When my best friends from college were married, I was not even able to attend due to the distance and the cost. But they had modest weddings anyway.

I would never, ever ask for someone to pay for an expensive dress of my choosing. I think that is rude. IMO prospective bridesmaids need to go over costs and expectations with the bride before they commit.

What is WRONG with people?!

$10.5k is too much for a one-wear rag. Sorry, but there are very pretty dresses for a small fraction of that. We are talking about CLOTH.

And while I'm at it, they can shove their diamonds, the most idiotic scam ever. I'm a woman, and would be absolutely outraged if my ring were diamond. What a waste. Give me an honest, kind, smart fella - there's MY diamond.

Thanks for tuning in. Tomorrow on "Pet Peeves," we'll be discussing and cussing the...

That would be the time I'd gift the bride a $50 target gift card, and inform her I won't be in her wedding.
And I'd tell her if she asks why. :)

LOL!!! Hie, I always love your posts! :-)

And back on topic, I would give that greedy, selfish woman an EMPTY gift card... surprise!!!

You two are just toooo much! How about giving her an EBT card? "I think there's some value left on it...the password is, is...wait, I have it here somewhere..."

Something I've always wanted to do: Pick up a bunch of lottery scratch tickets from the trash at a 7-11. Then, during the reception, clink-clink-clink the champagne glass, rise to my feet, and make this announcement:

"Folks, for _____________ and _________'s wedding, and to start them off, I have in my hand $1,000 in lottery tickets!" (I would expect a little applause, even if a bit uncertain.) "Now we all know ____________ and __________ have better things to do tonight than scratch lottery tickets, so I scratched them all myself to check for winners. And--sorry to have to report this--there weren't any. But here they are. You can use them for a tax deduction, I think."

Ha ha ha!!! Absolutely perfect caffiend!!! :-)

How nice of you to save them the work of scratching! ;-)

Actually she wanted $150.00 from each bridesmaid, not a free dress as implied.

Yeah, but who does that? Bad enough that they were already paying $550 for their bridesmaids dresses along with the other expenses.

I bought my wedding dress from a little wedding dress shop on South Temple. $300.00. For the bridesmaid's dresses, I bought material, ribbon, and lace and they sewed the dresses themselves because each one knew how to sew. If I were one of those bridesmaids, I would tell her bye bye, and exactly what she could with that dress.

This bride needs class from my BFF, I was the maid of honor and had to attend 6 showers for her. She said by something for a household and personal shower, as you leave each I will hand it back to you and you can rewrap and bring to the next one. Only other person attending all the showers is my mother and she will think it is funny.

So I got two things and gave one to her 4 times and the other twice.

Weddings are so stupid IMO. Is it because I am a man? I just don't understand the appeal of spending so much money for one day of exhaustion.
