How does one deal with a bride who is demanding? I am to be in a wedding and have to work the morning of the rehearsal and cannot make a bridesmaid session that day, but will be able to attend the rehearsal and dinner that evening. I will be able to at the the beauty session the day of the wedding. The bride is furious at me and the MOH is harassing me. I have tried to reason with her. I was also told that I had to chip in on some very expensive parts of the shower and bridesmaid events. I am on a very limited budget and think that I should have been asked if I could chip in instead of told. Everyone is in a tizzy at me. What should I do?

As bridesmaid, you have a certain number of responsibilities, however, paying for a bridal shower is not one of them. You should be asked if you want to be involved.
I can't tell what this event is on the morning of the rehearsal dinner, so I really cannot comment on it.
You should speak to the maid of honor calmly and express your feelings. If you need to send her here, please do. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I completely agree. It appears that the bride and her MOH believe the world revolves around the bride. A reality check is needed and this is a great place to start. Of course an etiquette book is a great idea as well.
