    Hi everyone need your lovely help and advice.

    1st though mods im not sure if this is in the right category so forgive me if it isn't.

    Well some of you may remember this story from a while back that started with pageboys/flowergirls and we weren't going to have ANY family and just my friends daughter as if we had so and so then we have to have x y and z.

    Well anyway my brother then mentioned it and I saidi would love to but we simply couldn't afford it so he said he would pay for the kids as he would of had to get them an outfit for the day anyway. so fast forward a few days and we buy a lovely dress for my niece at only 40 pounds and my brother agrees but sis in law seems relectunant but he pays it. Fast forward to now my niece goes for a fitting yesterday and I ask how she got on (I couldn't be there as had to work) sil text to say a few things need done so I text back to say are you still paying for alterations get a message back from sil saying she never knew anything about what my brother said and if that's the case she is not getting my nieces dress and is taking the other one I text immediately as the other dress is for another little girl and she simply cannot have it (both dresses are the same but one is smaller and the younger girl is getting the smaller dress) I assume as these dresses have both been paid for the dress shop will not just give it to her. when I finished work last night at 10pm I realised I had a missed call on my phone from my brother he must have called when I went bk to work I text him last night but they are away on holiday today for 2 weeks and not back til the 6th of august.

    I am so so stressed out right now I cant even go to parents for advice as they are not in the slightest bit interested in the wedding-that's another story in itself!!! I just know she is not gonna do anything as what my bro agreed shes a troublemaker some of you may remember some posts about that! the other thing is h2b said I should give her another chance to let her help with the wedding and build bridges so reluctantly I agreed and she is making the tablet for the favours now im worried that's shes gonna cause trouble for that too I really am so stressed out I could be doing without all this. does anyone have any advice or anything im going out my mind

    Dont really know what to say but didnt want to read and run....

    If you speak with the shop & inform them that under no circumstances are they to let anyone other than you near the dress for your friends little girl they should abide by that. Or if you can I would suggest taking that dress away from the shop so your SIL has no access to it. I would also leave the rest in the hands of your brother, you should "assume" that he is paying for it as he stated he would buy the dress as he would have had to anyway. As the cost of alterations was never discussed your brother should have to pay for them, failing that he should have bought the correct size in the first place. You made it clear that he would have to buy the dress as you cant afford to. In fact he offered to buy the dress and therefore the cost of any alterations has nothing to do with you.

    The stress its causing is unreal cause we just don't know if we are gonna be out of pocket if they go back on their word so im really worried about that and shes causing issues about something else which I have crying about other friends have told me I should tell her to do one its all so stressful its only 4 weeks I don't need this

    I'm pretty sure the dress shop won't let anyone other than u pick anything up from them anyway so I don't think u need to worry there! Is sil married to ur bro? As I sense a bit of jealousy....

    I would speak to the shop and go around with a pack of biccies to brother and SiL house to have a chat and sort it all out ...CALMLY. Just ask if you can iron things out and understand where you all are with things!

    unfortunetly she is kelbel :( what she was doing yesterday morning was that's shes playing the violin for us while we sign the registrar now ive been married before and point number 1 I don't particulary like it getting brought up all the time.

    Now sil is playing the violin but wants to play another song canon in D- I had that at my 1st wedding so its a no go as I feel that is just wrong well she keeps texting meal the time saying that she should be playing canon and I have been really patient in all of this and said no as that was at my first wedding and I don't want that. BUT yesterday she text me again and that was it I replied NO I do want that and it would be very insensitive to h2b aswell she immediately replied and said he clearly isn't fussed so I text her and I was like NO it was me that was married before and its a memory id rather forget not brought up and all my family would be like why is that playing? she text back again to say that no one probs remembers my last wedding anyway (by this point im getting really annoyed and want to tell her to bog off!) but h2b is so laid bk and says don't say that just tell her no end of! but still she texts back repeatedly so once again I text her in capital letters h2b may not be bothered but I am and don't mention last wedding again!!! still she has to get the last word in saying but I would prefer to play canon though so im at my wits end with that too!!

    And now shes blocked me and h2b on facebook oh the joys!!

    oh dear familys! and fb and messaging is not very helpful in drama's like this, would be better off calling her back rather than texting then she can here from your tone of voice etc how distressed and upset this is making you.

    Just dont have her playing the violin at all then, if she wants to help she should be doing just that not kicking off because of her wants. Id leave it until they come back off holiday and just ring the dress shop and make them aware that only you can collect the dresses xx

    at this stage I would be having a sign up stating to expect a bit of drama if cannon starts playing, then if she dared to play it i would be wrapping the violin round her bloomin head! but thats just me! could be good for photos too.... ok my mind is trailing, words are being typed this is never good.....

    on a serious note, i would agree, have a chat with your h2b to make sure you guys are on the same page, then go round there with him and lay down the law. talk about the dress but make it clear your bro OFFERED to sort the dress knowing your reasons why you had previously said no (ie financial reasons) then also mention about the violin (not that you would wrap it round her head if she played cannon) give her a couple of suggestions for songs to play. tell her that if you can not agree on a song 100% then unfortunetly you cant have her playing at your wedding, which would be a shame because (insert nice sounding words).

    I'd talk to the dress shop and let them know the situation; they should understand and keep it for you. Not sure what else to suggest for the rest :S

    I would speak with the dress shop but once your brother returns I would also discuss it with him hun he offered to buy the dress so there for should pay for the alterations, as for sil if she persists with canon in d just remind her its your day not hers you have said no and thats that if she still persists I would just tell her no to bother playing infact I would do that anyway incase she purposely plays canon in d on the day x

    31st August 2013 I became Mrs Carrick

    ring the dress shop and find out. that's what id be doing - at least then you will know and you can tell them under no circumstance is she allowed to take that other dress. OR just go yourself and pick it up before they return
