Do I give a gift?


Recommended Posts

I have a situtation. I was wondering what some of you would do.

I have 3 bridesmaid for my wedding.

My sister is my maid of honour. I didn't ask her to be it was just assumed. I was fine because she is my sister.

I was a little nervous because she is very selfish. I knew she would do nothing at all but gave her the benefit of the doubt.

I didn't expect much because its a destination wedding.

What I got was nothing but problems from her. From the start she caused problems with the deposit. She then started a huge fight with family because she disappeared and at the last minute almost ruined the group rate.

From then it just got worse. She has not helped with one thing. My other bridesmaids started planning a little shower and she basically caused a huge fight with them and others that it had to be cancelled. I'm so hurt because she does not care at all. Shows no interest. I understand she is going so thats a bonus. All she is worried about is shopping for dresses and bathing suits and tanning. She has shown no interest in the wedding. Never offers to help or anything.

 

Basically I'm hurt. I called her out on it and she turned it around. Everyone is disgusted with her. No one can believe she is acting like this. The only one not shocked is me which is sad.

 

I'm done. I was wondering if it was bad not to get her a bridesmaid gift? I know that she is spending money to go but she has done nothing at all. I feel like if I get her something I will allow her to think her behaviour is acceptable...

 

What would you do?

Oh goodness. The last thing you need now is drama, especially from your own sister.

 

I wouldn't "retaliate" by not getting her a gift though. That just reflects poorly on you. If that is just how she is, I doubt that anything or anyone will change that. You chose her as the MOH so short of firing her or having a huge family intervention, I doubt that you can do anything really. I would just not expect much from her and allow your bridesmaids, family, and other friends to help you as much as you need. I do hope that she doesn't pull this kind of stuff at the wedding. If you suspect that she might, I seriously would consider not involving her in the wedding at all. It sounds cruel but if you know that she will be a problem, then you probably should not have her there.

You shouldn't be worried about getting her a gift, you should be more concerned with how to fire her ass! Seriously, this is your wedding and your own sister is behaving this way? Sometimes we just have to realize that some members of our family are toxic and nothing we say or do will change that, so our only alternative is to cut the ties. Snip snip.

Thanks. I know its so hard.

I'm at that point. The worst part is she is mad at me for saying anything! How dare I say she is a bad bridesmaid. I didn't even come out and say that. I said at least you can do is try or pretend to care. She took that and went crazy.

 

I'm really worried to be honest. She had quit drinking and was doing good so I was happy. She started again so I can only imagine what its going to be like.

 

The last two occasions have been HORRIBLE!

My baby shower she showed up hung over in track pants with her drunk friend and was rude and loud. I was humiliated.

 

The next one she showed up late and hammered to my two year olds birthday party. Started calling people names and was a mess. Once again humiliated.

 

She pretends to feel bad but does nothing to show it.

 

I didn't even give the full story with the deposit at the beginning. After hours of trying to track her down ( she knew the time we were all suppose to meet) I finally did. It was a sunday so she was still drunk from the night before. At least that was her excuse but I don't even know for sure. I called her and she thought she had hung up. She didn't. I heard her go on about how she didn't want to give a deposit because its not like our marriage would last anyways.

 

We have been together for almost 5 years have two children and have a great relationship. So it was hurtful because there was no warrent for it.

 

Ahh I could go on forever.

 

The thing is we had a rough childhood at times. It was always just us two. I have always made excuses for her because she is my sister. Everyone hopes she will grow out of it. She is now 25 and hasn't.

 

 

Sorry about my rant. Its just so hard to deal with.

OMG - she's an alcoholic. Have you attended any al-anon classes for family? You need support and tools in how to handle her and how best to help her help herself. Ultimately, if she doesn't get help, you know that you will have no choice but to cut her out of your life. In the meantime, are you absolutely, 100% sure that you can trust her not to ruin your wedding? And remember, you and your guests will be stuck with her for a whole week where she could potentially be in your face (and theirs) causing all kinds of grief with no relief! What are you going to do if she becomes unreasonable? Are your parents any help at all?

Wow, kinda reminds me of my sister!! Ok, maybe not quite as bad, but incredibly selfish and is completely oblivious to what her duties are supposed to be as a MOH.

 

Since your sis sounds a bit more extreme, I would definitely fire her. You have every right and reason, no one would question your decision!! Just tell her you've decided not to have a MOH or something... or explain how much 'work' is going to be involved on the big day and maybe she'll be relieved... not to mention the MOH speech! That could be a disaster if she has a drinking problem, like you mentioned.

 

Good luck to you!!

OMG! i can't imagine having to deal with her! So sorry you are going through this. If you decide to keep her in the wedding, then I think you need to give her a gift. If you don't, I think she will pitch a fit, pout, and cause A LOT of drama that you really don't need on your wedding day!

Yes she is. She was really bad last year. She got in an accident and was drunk. She goes to A.A now. I'm really upset because she was doing so good. She now drinks on "special occasions" from what I'm told. I'm pretty upset with my other bridesmaid. She is both of our friend. She has known for awhile she is drinking again but has kept it a secret as well.

My parents are afraid of her. She has a really bad temper and screams alot. They kind of avoid saying anything that will make her snap. My mom and her haven't really been talking for awhile. My dad is blind and it makes me mental. He even got mad at me and said I had to be nicer to her because she doesn't have too many people... um shocking I know

Ok, now it makes better sense. I thought that she was just jealous or something but a drinking problem explains the erratic and insensitive behavior. Doesn't excuse it, but at least we know what the problem is.

 

If she is an alcoholic, a violent/loud/rude one at that, I would NOT have her at your wedding at all. There will be booze everywhere! I know that this is really tough but you can't be at your wedding worrying every single minute if she is drinking or not and if she will cause a scene. It's really hard with alcoholics or drug abusers or anything like that.. But you cannot continue to overlook such behavior at your own expense. She needs to learn that there are consequences to her actions.

 

Very sad situation. I just don't want you to have a time bomb on your hands when you are exchanging vows.

Yeah I agree I think I'm going to have to "fire her" in some what of a nice way. I want to advoid any extra drama.
She is the type who screams and makes a scene even without drinking...

[b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества.

На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
