Bridesmaid Budget Blunder
Date: 03/14/2005 at 1:59 PM
One of my bridesmaids, who is also my roommate, is having trouble paying for her dress, shoes and jewelry. Half of the money was due in the middle of February to the Bridal Boutique, she didnt have the money at the time, so I lent it to her. A month later (currently), she has just paid me back, and is complaining about how now she won't have enough money for her spring break trip, and is laying the guilt on heavily. I do feel bad, but I would feel worse if she didn't go out drinking and buying clothes every weekend. What should I do?

I would have to say you are right. Its an honor for someone to ask you to be in their wedding, if the dresses are reasonably priced then by all means I dont see why someone cant have a few less drinks on the weekends to save a few bucks a week to be in your wedding. Sounds like your bridesmaid is throwing a pity party.
I wouldn't feel bad for your friend at all. She knew when she accepted to be in your wedding that it was going to cost money. I she didn't want to pay for it, then she should have declined the invitation. Just remember that dealing with sticky situations is a part of planning a wedding and don't let her problems make you feel bad.
Sounds like she did not plan for her trip. Her financial blunders are her fault.
