Friend or Foe: My bridesmaid hates big weddings

nospam@example.com ()

Dear Friend or Foe, I just turned 37, and I’m getting married in two months. Most of my closest friends have been married for a while now and have at least two children. I'm pretty sure everyone is thrilled for us, since they’ve been waiting for this day FOREVER. Everyone except for my “best friend” Carin. She’s being kind of awful about the whole wedding part. I’m not one of those bridal people who has been looking forward to this day since I was 5. It’s my husband-to-be who really wanted a big wedding. So that’s what we’re doing: three days, destination wedding, the whole shebang. And Carin is, of course, one of my bridesmaids. But as the day gets closer, I’m feeling less and less like she belongs in the bridal party. Recently, she asked, “When is the latest possible time I can arrive at your wedding? Also, just so you know, I’ll be leaving at the crack of dawn the next day.”

My husband's cousin is getting married to a "Groominator!" The man uses spreadshets to keep track of the wedding details! He is the one who is the obsessive neat freak, cook, and financial manager in the home; JM is just happy to delegate and enjoy the fruits of a beautiful home, perfectly organized papers and finances, and delicious healthy meals on the table--no wonder she's got this smashingly healthy figure! This makes me wonder a few things: Where was my husband when they were giving the men these traits, at the I-do-not-know-how-a-hamper-works line? Were the other women at JM's wedding shower secretly seething and green with envy (like little petty me), or were they blessing their lucky stars they didn't have to deal with a Groominator of their own?
