This weekend sucked. :(

My dress is being altered by my FH's aunt. She shortened the dress and did the straps but now the whole shape of the dress is different. The dress used to flow out from about halfway up my calve. There was crinoline underneath and I think she she shortened it, she just cut the crinoline and extra fabric. So now, the dress is more of a straight down silhouette. I guess in retrospect I should have verified that the dress would look the same. I guess I thought that she'd be taking off the crinoline, shortening everything and then attaching it so that the dress stayed the same. Now, the main thing I loved about the dress is gone. :(

(My friend said that maybe I could add back more crinoline? Is this a thing? Has anyone done it?)

Then, my sister who was supposed to be planning my bachelorette party embarrassed the heck out of me. I've been fighting with her for weeks because she is 20 and can't drink in the States. We were going to go to Vancouver but its just turning into too much money, too many people can't go etc. It means more to me to have people there than having her be able to drink so I told her I wanted to have it here. This has become a HUGE fight and she went so far tonight as to email all my friends who are coming saying 'sorry, she's canceling it.' Luckily my friends all know what is going on and stood up for me but still, it's embarrassing to have my sister be such a brat. She's trying to make things all about her and its frustrating.

After that, my FMIL texted us saying we had to add two more people. People she didn't put on the invite because she didn't think they'd come. Now, not only 'do they want to come, they will be there.' Um. Wat. Don't invite yourself to a wedding. That's not how this works. My FH's side has about 10 people that my FMIL thinks aren't coming. If she is wrong (like she was so wrong about this couple that is now invited) then we will be at 8 our venue's capacity. No big (to anyone else).

Struggling to remember that none of this matters in the long run, ya know? My dress is different. My sister is ruining things for me and being a brat. My MIL complains and complains about space but then invites more people. Ugh. :( I'm having an 'I wish I eloped' moment. /rant.
