Bridesmaids Dress - an awful one :( i'm the bridesmaid

[Bathsheba]

I think Townsvillegirl has given you (and all Brides) some excellent advice! I agree completely with her stylistic suggestions and warnings.

Lime: That approach (doing whatever the bride bids without question) I think is too open to abuse... healthy adult relationships should always be willing and receptive to compromise. You make it sound like a session of S&M (sado-masochism LOL) with the bride playing the role of Dominatrix! Being a bride doesn't exempt a person from having a bit of compassion.

Kitten: That suggestion to do bicep curls was shocking darl. Maybe give her one final chance... take her to lunch and lay your heart on the line, be totally honest, you want to reveal her true opinions remember... make up your mind during this meeting... and do it quickly, get it over and done with for both your sakes. Try not to get emotional or defensive... otherwise the whole thing will degenerate and things will be said that will be regretted.

My gut feel is that she might do better having another person on her bridal party. I don't see this situation being good for either of you... especially that you have such a young baby too. Personally i would aim to salvage the friendship until she gets to the otherside of marriage... then take it from there.
