This is just too much~!

Well tonight, 3 months before the wedding. Two of my closest friends dropped out from being bridesmaids. I'm so upset right now. I don't know what to think or do. The dresses bought, their gifts bought, the programs made. I'm numb. I'm not gonna go over their reasons. To me the are pointless. Would have been nice to have this done a few months ago. No, no emergency came up, deaths. Just made other summer plans basically. So now we have 2 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. I'm to the point that I just want to tell everyone, it will just be me and DF. Sorry to vent ladies, but I knew you were the only ones that would understand truely.

I am so sorry this happend to you! It seems like poeple would be a little more considerate! Maybe they will realize they were wrong and change their minds... sending hugs

 

[jojoandhb]

Wow, that's terrible. But, you still have your fiance, and you are still getting married at the happiest place on Earth! I'd have second thoughts on remaining friends with them.

i'm sorry to hear they dropped out, but maybe its for the best, if theyre not happy to come to your wedding, maybe theyre not the people you want to be with you on your very special day. just think, it's their loss!
dont forget we're always here to help and to vent with!!

sorry to hear that they have dropped out, but try not to get too upset, you have enough to deal with at the moment, i should know, i also get married in just under 3 months, so you have enough to worry about. It will all work out fine in the end and remember....the most important people are you and your df, you will have a fairytale wedding. Sending lots of pixie dust x

This same thing happened to my cousin and she put their dresses on ebay and sent the 2 remaining BM's down the isle with a GM on each arm! It was funny and looked great in the video. I am so sorry this happened to you. Pixie Dust heading your way!

 

[MickeyAnne]

Wow! I feel terrible for you. That really is so sad. But I agree with the other ladies, maybe it is a blessing in disguise. If they didn't want to be there then they probably would not have added much to your day. Try to think happy thoughts!

My thoughts exactly. I am sooo sorry!
I hope you can return some of the stuff. I can't believe this is happening to you- you don't need the stress! Urgh! It will all work out in the end and the people that really care will be there for you!

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Maybe you could have each of the girls escort 2 guys, it would be different but it could be cute.

Here's another perspective, maybe it is for the best. My dear friend had her hs friends in her wedding. They all grew apart during college. I met her at her first job after college.

Well, these girls were very selfish, did little to help her, and the one had to rearrange her summer trip, and complained about it, because she didn't want to go to the rehearsal dinner???

So now, I was not in her wedding, she's a great friend and is in mine. But she barely talks to her four bridesmaids. She found out they weren't true friends after all!

I hope it all works out for you!

 

[princessdisneybelle]

Thank you everyone. I feel much better after some sleep. At this point I'm just going to have the 2 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. I have really learned through this wedding planning who are important and who aren't. I'm closer to some of you ladies here on the Disboards that some of my so-called friends. Anyone want to be a bridesmaid? Thanks again for everything.

I'm so sorry that your bridesmaids let you down. I don't think you should redo any of the programs. You don't need the hassle right now, and leaving their names in the programs will send the message to them that you were really counting on them to be there for your big day.

Thank you! No I'm not redoing the programs. I made the Mickey Head ones and it's just too much work.

I'm so sorry your friends bailed on you...I don't know exactly how you feel, although I'm waiting for my sister MOH to do the same to me.

Lean on us if you need to vent anymore...Texas girls have gotta stick together!

Have a great day!

Anyone want to be a bridesmaid?

i'll volunteer!!!!

 

[PrettyInTink]

I will be at WDW from June 8-17! Not sure when your wedding is but I'll walk down the isle for ya! And if you have a BM dress big enough for DH he says he'll shave his legs and go too!

 

[Maggimus]

Laura-- you are one of the kindest people ive ever encountered here on the boards. You certainly dont deserve this stress right now. I feel terrible. If I could afford to make it to Orlando just to be present at your wedding I would feel very honored. You have helped me tons!! You are such a strong girl-- I hope they wake up and realize what a horrible mistake they have made. Im so sorry

 

[dmslush]

Wow, I feel so bad for you! I would jump at the chance to "have" to go to disney to be in a wedding! Regardless of them jumping ship, I know it is still going to be a fabulous day for you and your df!!!!

 

[marywdw]

I just wanted to jump in and show some support - what an awful thing for you to have to deal with! On top of the stress of the upcoming day, and the monkey-wrench that this throws into your planning, you have to deal with the fact that 2 of your closest friends totally let you down. I'm so sorry
I've been on the boards a short while, but every time I've posted a question or had a frantic moment, you've always posted a tip, idea, or word of encouragement - and I'm practically a stranger! I can only imagine how well you treat your close friends...you deserve better!
I'm sure it will work out for you. I agree with some of the other girls who suggest you have 2 GM's escort each BM - I've seen it done before and it looks cute.
No matter what, I know it will be great b/c you've worked so hard planning and b/c you are marrying the man you love!!!
