I'm getting married in about a month and my OH wants his niece to be bridesmaid.
We didn't plan our wedding years in advance but everyone has known for quite a few months. His brother and sister choose to leave it until today (a month before) to bring their daughter up to sort the dress out. Last night they decided to tell me that they thought an adult size dress might not fit her (she's 14) and she might be too cold e.t.c.) I've not really had much to do with his family, but I could see problems....
So today we went to get the dress and shoes. The shoes didn't fit, neither did several other pairs, or they weren't "suitable." They didn't have her size in the dress, but her mum insisted she try on every size they did have in that dress, plus several others incase the fit was the same.
I was starving by this point and just wanted to get home. I ended up just giving them the money to order the right size off the net (I'd sent them the link the night before) and to find some suitable shoes.
Now, they did have a couple of hours drive to get here but they stayed all afternoon, I was sooooo tired by the time they left (I usually have a nap in the afternoon.) I couldn't have dropped more hints if I'd tried!
I fell asleep as soon as they left, only to be woken by a phone call a few hours later saying they'd been on the net to order it and wasn't sure whether to get red or wine. (How about the one off the link I sent?) They don't even do that dress in red, the red one is a slightly different style.
I can't say anything at all because it's my OH's family and the sun shines out of their a$$!
The mum is just sooooo over-protective, to the extent that the kids don't bother to think for themselves anymore because they're used to mum doing it for them. She asked the 14 year old if she needed to have a wee before they left! (Is it just me or should a 14 year old know if they need the toilet?)
Sorry for the rant, I'm just so stressed out and not getting any sympathy off my OH cus he doesn't see a problem!
