[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it was hurtful though to be the only bride in my friend group that was the last to marry and was totally respectful of their costs after I threw multiple showers bought whatever, traveled.

No one threw me a shower.  Or anything in my bridal party after I had gone above and beyond for theirs (which they wanted)
Then I got cheap dresses and shoes of their choice and then they didn't do anything.

If it makes you feel better, I was the second in my friend group to get married in our 20s and nobody did any of that stuff for me either. We just straight up had no idea what we were doing, we were all new to this and nobody was a wedding pro. (The first friend was Southern and had two bridal showers thrown by older relatives/friends, no bachelorette, her kind and well off parents asked us broke new grad bridesmaids if we needed any help buying the $300 dresses.) I think I gave one friend an embarrassingly low amount of money for a wedding gift, my ceremony started late because nobody was assigned to tell the organist we were ready and start playing, my bridesmaid who I asked to make sure people were cued up for toasts at the reception forgot...stuff like that.

I'm sorry that you were hurt. That is a real thing. I just wanted to say what looks like "everyone's" experience isn't, you're not alone, and not everyone else got it right either. [/quote]

I love this story!  I wish more people would share stuff like this.  Nothing horrible happened, but it just didn’t go quite right!
