    well lets just say as soon as this wedding is over my family can peeeeee off! ive just had enough of them completely! my two sisters wrecked my hen night, so much that i got my other half and my 18 month old baby out of bed to drive 40 miles to pick me up! they didnt actually plan anything!!! they looked into stuff but never booked anything and their attitudes stunk! in the end we went to bingo - which they were late for! got peeved off cause my friend booked us in somewhere at half 6 so we couldnt eat! all they had to do was eat before we went out (they were supposed to book food too) so we got back to the hotel after bingo at 330, and fairplay they put together party bags and they were amazing! so i thouht right put it behind me and im sure they had planned something for the night! nope they didnt plan anything at all! okay we would wing it that was fine!

    anyway we all get ready telling my sisters to be ready for 6 cause they are always late! and i go up to their room at 6.10 and they still aint ready and have 15 minutes for the taxi! they had no make up on and not dressed! i was fuming cause i had other people with me that were all ready and waiting and had suffered their stinking attitudes and faces all day!

    so we go out eventually and they just sit there not speaking to anyone and i hate that more than anything they need to even act like they are having fun! the others turn up and we start having fun and ive been told to ignore them and fairplay my moh and one of my friends jhust took me out of the situation! every hour i had my sisters moaning at me over one thing or another and blaming the MOH cause she should have organised everything (even though they had planned the night for weeks!)

    anyway i was getting more and more upset and then wanted to go to oceana and they decided they wanted to stay in popworld cause they were having fun! it was dead in there! so i thought thats it im going on! i told my sister straight that they were supposed to be planning the night and lost it a bit and just left without saying bye!

    i was so wound up and think if i stayed i would have been arrested! there were loads of other digs!

    well sunday i thanked my sisters for the party bags and they were amazing, one text back saying i destroyed her and our relationship is over and the other one has completly blocked me off facebook and wont respond to my messages!

    im being blamed for this mind because they have made out im an ungrateful cow and they have done loads to me! im in bits!

    they have no idea what im going through medically at the moment along with planning a wedding and the stress that that causes!

    so at the moment im down one flowergirl my neice and 2 bridesmaids!

    any ideas what to do?????//

    Lana what she saying is that her neice, and sisters were the BM's and flower girl.... leaving her with just her MOH....

    Personally, if you have the dresses for your sisters I would either ask someone else to stand in that will fit in the dresses, OR just have your MOH. Im not having a MOH & have no one young enough to be FG, so all I have is 2 BM's and im happy with this, i wouldnt hae it any otherway.... at the end of the day, be the more mature woman and move on.. facebook is just that its facebook, its a social networking site! It means NOTHING! why let facebook get to you?! yes its your sister but if shes going to be that immature.... why bother?

    Thats horrible hun if that were me id just not bother with my sister theyll come round eventually. As for bridesmaids what about your two best freinds or a cousin or auntie something like that. Hope you sort it out x

    I wouldn't include them now, they put no thought into your hen night at least without them being bridesmaids you won't have the stress of wondering if they are going to act the same on the wedding day. Moh and fg seem good to me. Remember it is your day and it is going to be very special, what does your h2b think ? I'm just having a moh. :)

    How awful that your own sisters have acted like this right before your wedding day.

    I would just have your MOH and your daughter. Serves them right! xx

    Oh hun I really feel for you, Nothing worse than a family argument and it is so unthoughtful of them so close to your wedding.
    The only thing I can suggest is to plan it with just your maid of honour and flower girl and if they change their minds and appologise closer to the time you can always add them back in...... and if not its their loss...... they will have to live with the fact they missed one of the best days of their sisters life...... Try not to let it eat away at you too much.... are they maybe a little jealous?
    Hope it all works out :) xx

    That's awful! Why is there always someone that likes to make something awkward! I wouldn't let them bother you,sounds like they are being very immature and are wanting to cause u stress in the last few wks up to your wedding! If I was ur mum or dad I'd be making them have some very stern words about apologising!

    Perhaps explain to them why you were so upset - this wasn't any old night out - it was your hen do & as you're only planning on getting married once, you only planned on having one hen do & wanted it to really be a great one to remember!
    But yeah, they're being pretty childish and petty...
