This.  She probably wanted to see what it looked like before the dress was bought.  Most brides want their day to be perfect and I'm sure you went to a lot of effort with detail for your wedding.  Once people are past the wedding they somehow think others are crazy with their meticulous attention to detail, however it pays off on the day when it all comes together nicely.  I'm sure she just wanted your daughter to look nice on the day and for photo's.  She herself may have thought it would be more personal to have a shopping day rather than just sending an email.  I mean your daughter is going to be in her wedding.  Perhaps she wanted to meet her and bond too.  It's a shame you didn't get along.

On top of that she hasn't had children and doesn't know your time is precious.  She isn't a mind reader.  I'd give her a pass.[/quote]

I think all these people giving the bride a complete pass are crazy.  You don’t need to have kids to know that asking someone to drive 1.5 hours each way just to try on a dress that could have been ordered online is totally inconsiderate and thoughtless.  If she wanted to see how the dress fit before the wedding she could have FaceTimed or asked you to send pics.  The dress  was from Nordstrom for goodness sake- easily returnable.  To then turn around and not have time for lunch is rich.  I would have been extremely annoyed.  If she really did pitch it as a way to spend time with my daughter I would have said something about it to her.  Not angrily, but I certainly would have told her that I made the effort and spared the time to drive three hours based on my understanding that we were spending the afternoon with her.[/quote]
