In response to "where do you get that? if she's using Pippa as an example this is current. -- nm" by Andie

you missed my point. She should just tell their girl she can either not wear white or not be a bridesmaid. -- nm

- this one sounds clear cut to me. Bride told BM up front that she has veto power. Bride is paying for it. - loosilu May 2, 13:06 10
  - sure sure sure, i agree with all that. but, if you actually value your friendships, it's not so easy to say in real life. - Andie May 2, 13:07 9
    - yeah, that seems extreme. I'm not saying end the friendship, just get a spine. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 13:09
    - obviously the bridesmaid doesn't value the friendship that much. so maybe the bride needs to evaluate this. - sycor May 2, 13:09 5
      - and if telling the girl she cannot wear white causes her to end the friendship, well she wasn't really a friend. - sycor May 2, 13:11 2
        
        you are missing my point. i don't disagree with the concept, i'm saying 'cutting off a friend in real life isn't a little thing' -- nm - Andie May 2, 13:15 1
        
        I know. I've done it before. But sometimes it's the best thing to do. but I get what you are saying. - sycor May 2, 13:18
      - she's her only bridesmaid. this isn't 'barely a friend'. they've probably known each other forever. -- nm - Andie May 2, 13:10 1
        
        and for the record, I'm not saying the bride should end the friendship. but if telling the girl one or the other ends it, well, see what I said above. -- nm - sycor May 2, 13:12
    - (like, loosi, how easy is it for you to tell your mother 'no, i don't want to do X?' and just not do it? - Andie May 2, 13:08 1
      - totally agreed. (I didn't say end the friendship!) -- nm - loosilu May 2, 13:11
- I know. but I bet the bridesmaid would back down if the bride stress how much it meant to her by putting it in those terms - sycor May 2, 13:01
- In this case, i'd think it should be. - Will Hunting May 2, 12:59
