Religious Bridesmaid

I usually get mad at bridesmaids who do nothing but complain about the bridesmaid's dresses that the bride likes. Often, their problem seems to be that THEY didn't choose the dress, so they are not going to like it. In tonight's episode, when the bridesmaid said "no" to the blue color the bride had picked out, I was thinking, "here we go again!" But when she was saying that she didn't want strapless for religious reasons, I felt that the bride should have been more accomodating, perhaps letting her wear a similar style but with coverage that she felt comfortable with. When people started saying that she was putting a dress before her friendship with the bride, I had to disagree. She was putting her relationship with God before her friendship. That is what religious people are supposed to do. Even if you disagree with her religious beliefs, you should still respect them.

They're talking about fictional characters. FICTIONALCHARACTERS!

I get so tired of hearing it is the bride's day so the bridesmaids should zip it and go along with whatever the bride wants. If the bridesmaids are paying for their own dresses than they should have a say in what they want to wear that day. If the bride wants total control of picking the dresses than she should pay for them. Just because it is the bride's day doesn't mean that she should act like a diva.

I agree with both of you! I didn't care what dress my bridesmaids had so long as they were happy and comfortable. They had little choice with the colour I felt it was right that my husband picked a suit for himself and that the colour of the dresses matched his waistcoat. Luckily, the bridesmaids loved the colour! I knew one hated dresses, so I compromised and she chose a white trouser suit with a top in a colour that matched the other girls dresses.

I was gonna let you *beep* me, but I got my rag, and I know how you hate a mess

Sounds like the bridesmaid needs Biblethumpers Anonymous.

If a bridesmaid has a problem with what the bride wants, even if she's shelling out money, she should simply decline to be in the wedding. Yes it is the bride's day. If an attendant disagrees I say turn it around and put yourself in the bride's shoes. Just say no and don't make a big deal out of it.

Then she should definitely say no. That's what freedom of religion is about. Not everyone is religious. Not everyone marries in church. She should no more hold them to her beliefs about religion & clothing (??) than them holding her to theirs.
