Need help keeping over-enthusiastic bride happy?

A friend of mine is getting married and has asked me to stand in the bridal party. I don't really want to give her a hard time about being a bridezilla, because I was a really awful one to have to work with when she was a bridesmaid for me. She has started to dictated how the bridesmaids look. As in she wants us to do our hair together. She tried to dictate what bra we could wear (she didn't give enough details and let us pick our own eventually). I intend to acquiesce to her request that I get my nails done, but I have issues. I don't like wearing gloves to do work in the kitchen, so I have some heavy-duty juice stains on the nails. Any suggestions for how I can get these off? Or should I be reminding her, even at this late date, that I'm a hoyden and she's asking quite a lot? (This would be because no matter how hard I try I'm unlikely to actually fit the mould she is trying to place me in)

    Soak them in lemon juice.

    Requesting everyone had the same bra is a bit strange, but the manicure thing isn't - I dont think.

    I am paying for my three girls to have a wonderfully relaxing half day of beauty treatments inclusive of massages the day before my wedding.

  • You said yourself that you were a bridezilla at your own wedding, and you just have to look back and see how she treated you when you were like that. If she went a long with it, and did everything you asked them to do, without a fight... You owe her the same courtesy. You don't want to start a fight with her now, because she might bring up the fact that she stood up for you when you were intolerable. Since you've already been there, you know how stressful a wedding is.

    As hard as it is to stand her right now, you don't want to make her life more difficult. Next time you see her, ask her if she needs anything, and maybe if she realizes that your trying to help, she'll lighten up a bit.

    Good Luck with the Bridezilla!!

    Love your comment about "fit the mold." That's EXACTLY what brides try to do. Isn't it interesting how we enjoy our friends for their differences and their unique qualities until it comes to our weddings? Then we want them to all become just alike for the pictures.

    I have no answer to help you with nail stains. (Other than to hide those nails under your bouquet at all times.) But you did give me a good laugh this morning with the picture your question painted for me. Thanks for the day brightener!
