Bad Manners and Brimstone

I don't think there was anything wrong with the store calling the bride.....usually bridesmaid dresses are tied to a bridal party.  When I was getting married I told my bridesmaids that my mother could do the alterations to save them money.  My mother had to practically rebuild the maid of honors dress.  One of my other maids said her dress fit perfectly.  I asked to see it but she kept making excuses. A week before the wedding the store called and asked why this bridesmaid never picked up her dress. She had been lying to me all the time. She did pick it up and it looked terrible on her as it was not fitted properly at all.

I wonder who paid for the bridesmaid's dress? If it was the BM, then it was a transaction strictly between the BM and the store - and the store had no right whatsoever to phone the bride and tell her.

If the bride was paying for the dresses, it's a bit more acceptable - I can picture the story calling her to confirm that that particular order was to be cancelled.

Either way, I think the BM's decision to try to cancel the dress first (before speaking to the bride) may at best have been slightly hurtful, but it pales in comparison to the bride's greediness and tackiness (who the heck dictates that there can be no group gifts?!).
