Would you be pissed? re: brother's wedding

sarahjared

We are getting ready to leave town for my brother's wedding on Friday.  I asked his fiance for the schedule for that day since DD is a flower girl and I wanted a heads up on when I had to have her somewhere.  Also, I am supposed to get my hair done with the girls.  She has me getting my hair done last (which I love so mine won't have as much time to fall down).  Only problem-she wants me pinning flowers on people.  Um, you have me getting my hair done when people need that done.  Not to mention I will have DD alone and who knows how in the hell she will behave (ah, 2yr olds).  DH is in the wedding so he will be with the guys.  I just don't know if she doesn't understand that keeping DD entertained, her hair done (she likes to pull it hair accessories out), and her dress clean is a full time job.  I'm a little pissed that I am getting extra responsibility assigned to me (as insignificant as it is) when I am not even in the frickin wedding.  Some "vacation" this is going to be.

Maybe she is trying to be nice-- since you aren't in the wedding, maybe she thought it would be good to include you in some other way. ?I'd just roll with it-- someone can always take over flower duty if your hands are full

I wouldn't be pissed about it.  It sounds like she is trying to include you by doing this.  And if it comes down to it, don't get your hair done.  If you are not in the wedding, it doesn't need to be done, kwim? 

Have fun!!

You might just nicely mention to her that she should have a backup person for flower pinning because you might be busy trying to keep DD out of trouble.  She wouldn't want a messy flower girl walking down the isle.

My 2yo DD was in my SIL's wedding a couple months ago. I was so busy wrangling her that I definitely wouldn't have had time to do anything else. Their florist took care of pinning flowers when she dropped them off. That's not a huge duty though so I'm sure if you can't do it, somebody else easily can.

Ask for help!  Thank the Bride for including you, but let her know it might be too much.  Most florists will pin the flowers on the wedding party.

I wouldn't be pissed but I would suggest that she have a back up person to at least help with the flowers since you aren't sure if DD will be well behaved or not......I'm sure she didn't even think of that.
