I'm having a very hard time dealing with my maid of honor. My fiancee and I have been engaged since March of this year and we are getting married august 27th of next year. We started planning our wedding last January before we were engaged. I asked my best friend of 7 years to be my maid of honor and she said yes, but then she was being very sore sported about it all and acting jealous.
Firstly, when I found my dress, I asked her to come and meet me at the store. She came but brought along her annoying boyfriend who sat and complained the whole time I was trying on the dress. She also tried to make the whole thing about her. She likes the dress that I picked out for the bridal party but hated the color. At our engagement party in October she brought her boyfriend and sat and made out w/him and ignored all the other 30 or 40 people who were there and made a complete fool of herself. On top of all of this she is now saying that she wants to bring her boyfriend to the all GIRLS ONLY dress fitting that Im doing on January 15th. She has been nothing but a pain in the butt since I asked her to be my maid of honor. The boyfriend thing is the ONLY thing that I'm adamant about because it is an opportunity for her to get to know the other 6 attendants (seeing as how she was too busy sucking face at the engagement party) and also I have 4 younger attendants who will be there with their mothers and/or aunts/grandmothers so it's very inappropriate for her to bring him. I've tried many times to explain this to her.
Now she is claiming that her uncle is about to die and she wants both her and her boyfriend to be in the town where we are going for the fittings (she lives 2 hours away from where I live), that I understand but I don't want her boyfriend involved in any of the girl stuff. I'm ready to dump her as my maid of honor so plz help me to decide whether to do this while keeping our friendship (assuming i still want to). thanks

Dear Sugarplum:
Call your MOH and remind her of the date, telling her in a very friendly voice, "Sorry, I know you mentioned that your boyfriend will be in town but remember, this is a girl's only event, your boyfriend will have to make other arrangements for those few hours. We wouldn't want the other girls to feel uncompfortable"....PERIOD. Do not offer explanation since that will just open the issue up for discussion, which it isn't. If she insists on arguing the point simply lather, rinse, REPEAT until she gets it. Hopefully, she'll get it and you can all move on to enjoy the wedding preparation and planning.
