The stressed out woman is looking for advice.

A bride-to-be is considering sacking one of her bridesmaids at the last minute due to her shocking behaviour.

The anonymous woman took to Mumsnet to reveal she's having three bridesmaids but one of them is acting out.

Three bridesmaids...or two?!

Describing herself as a "very chilled" bride, the woman posted that she used to hang out a lot with her friend, but "it's all gone downhill and I'm considering asking her to back out".

She explained how the bridesmaid keeps complaining about everything, cancelling plans and ignoring her texts.

It all started with the "expensive, designer" dresses.

"Firstly, she was REALLY difficult about her dress - '"I don't do that style" or "I won't consider that colour".

"Then, we found the dresses and she was insistent she was a 12. Fair enough. Bought it - spent a month asking her to come try it so if it was no good, I could swap it within the warranty.

"She ignored the texts/calls. Finally came round - dress miles too small and said she wanted 16.

"Had to go and lie and eventually managed to swap the dress. No sweat, kept very calm.

"FINALLY tries second dress on and very overly critical about dress being miles too big - fits like a glove."

Finding dresses to suit all your bridesmaids is notoriously difficult.

The bride claimed that her friend, who "throws a strop at the drop of a hat and is very attention seeking", has now gone silent.

"..keep inviting her round for tea, offering to meet up - she'll say she's at work doing the early shift so invite her for tea but she can't cause she's "working the late shift". Her office is locked at 8pm but she's "working til 11". I know for a fact she can't.

"She claims she's not going out and just at work constantly but is constantly tagged/photographed out with friends and won't make time for me."

The Mumsnet user said she doesn't expect her to do bridesmaid chores, only to keep in touch.

She said she feels like a "total bridezilla" but she's considering ditching her bridesmaid.

"I feel really torn... We've got a very big, fancy venue which we are travelling a long way to because it has family significance and I don't want my day being stressed by her."
