Who are "The Others"?
Let's preface this by noting that these women are not necessarily bad friends. They are simply women who are going through a plethora of emotions for various reasons-they just happen to be experiencing these emotions during the most inopportune time for you, "The Bride". Let's explore what emotions might be taking hold of your dear friends during this time...
Bridesmaid #1-"The married bridesmaid"-She might be going through tough times with her husband, so your bridal bliss is only forcing her to relive her bridal nightmare.
Bridesmaid #2-"The wannabe bride"- She is in a relationship that she is hoping to take to the next level. She has been with her boyfriend for longer than you have even known your fiancé'. This bridesmaid might not be ready to accept the fact that you have snagged your prince charming, while she is "stuck" with a man who won't take the plunge. It is difficult for this bridesmaid to stomach the fact that she was once thought to be the first married, now she is falling behind and is lost in your shadow.
Bridesmaid #3-"The It's all about me bridesmaid"-She was head cheerleader in high school, she starts the trends, is always the life of the party, and would certainly be the lead singer in your band if your ever started one. But when it comes to your wedding-she is unable to step outside of her "all about me" attitude and allow you to enjoy the limelight. She scoffs at each dress that you try on at the bridal boutique. She is eerily quiet at your planning pow wows, and she always becomes obnoxious after 'one too many' cocktails at all of your wedding events.
