Wedding Forum - BM p!$$!ng me off already......

Sorry for the rant ladies but just had to get it off my chest. As you can tell by the title of this thread the best man is starting to pee me off already.

My H2B has 2, both as useless as each other but 1 is just a pain in the ass and is making our wedding all about him. He always does it so it's nothing new.

Anyway, we chose the men's suits in November and was told the men needed to be measured before the end of January, as being brand new suits for this year they would be very popular and sell out quickly. We have paid 50% deposit and even with a hefty 25% discount they are still costing us £130 per suit, with 6 to buy, this has cost us a fair bit.

Well last weekend we got a phone call to say my brother (usher) and H2B's 2 best men were still to be measured and they needed to go in by 31st (yesterday) so we reminded them to go.

One BM went on Saturday and my brother went in today (albeit past the deadline but was still ok). H2B has emailed, text and phoned the other BM to ask him to go and he still hasn't been. My brother rang me before to say he was all sorted but the shop told him that the BM was still to be measured and he had until this Saturday to go as this was the deadline to order them and he was holding the whole order up.

I've sent him a message on facebook (which he ignored) then text him an hour ago to say he needed to get in otherwise we'll lose the order. This has caused murder with my H2B and I as he says I've stepped on his toes and I'm always on the BM's back about things! I've known him for 10 years and he's just lazy and has borrowed money off my H2B on numerous occasions, taking months to pay it back...and I mean 9 months!! He still owes our other friend £130 from October 2010!!!

Anyway, he has text me back saying "Chill bridezilla...I'll go tomorrow!" - FUMING isn't the word! I've ignored the message as I will end up saying something nasty back which will just cause more upset with H2B!

Sorry for the rant...had to vent! I am now calm!!

Madhen - it's 10 fecking minutes. They are so good at getting the right size. Everyone has gone in, been given the right size jacket and waistcoat straight away to try and then measured for the trousers. Simples!!

Id be fuming too! How hard is it to go into the shop for half hour or what ever stand their to be measured, Pure lazyness id say! I would br draging him there by his ears Lol x

No, they think it'll all miraculously come together...would serve him right if he got one that didn't fit properly and was ridiculously short in the leg and baggy around his waist or something, just to make him look like a ninny, but unfortunately it's your wedding that the ninny would be attending!

Yay, power to the bride!! Good plan!

men are just to layed back ! my h2b keeps sayin oh we have ages to worry about the suits ...... very annoying ..

How incredibly rude of him!!!! If he does not go in tomorrow I ould definately be cancelling his suit...idiot!

That would have really wound me up as well, if he delays the order and you end up having to pay more, make him pay for it!

I'm starting to look for the groom's party outfits, where did you get yours from?

To be honest, knowing he was that much of a pain in the bum I wouldn't have reminded him and told the shop to send the order off without his one. I'd have rather lost the deposit and not had him than all this hassle. If everyone else can get there then why shouldn't he. x

well he went in this morning. I got a text saying "Done!", I didn't reply. He then sent a second text earlier on tonight asking if H2B has bought cufflinks as he wants to buy the groom / best man ones. This is what he does - tries to be all "I'll do anything for everyone. Aren't I a wonderful person?" He won't get the cufflinks but I just replied saying that would be a lovely thing for YOU to do!

Relief, it's done, wohoo!!

Blimey what an ar5e! I'd have sent the order off without him - he missed the deadline, he can buy his own!
Glad he (eventually) got it sorted! :) Xx
