Lua - Fabulous pictures!!!  I LOVE them, but really like the ones around the lake and also the few pictures in the corn field!  Your photographer did an amazing job!!  Has she decided if she's going to travel with you for your wedding??

I'm having an issue- and would like all of your opinions.  I originally didn't want bridesmaid but because my FI has a million friends and wanted groomsmen I ended up choosing 3 bridesmaids.  1 - MOH is a friend of mine, 2 - my cousin's wife who has been there for me throughout out many trials and tribulations, 3 - my niece (she is my 1/2 sisters daughter and I'm not that close to them- besides the occasional call).  I thought this combo would be great and everyone gladly accepted.  Earlier this year my cousin lost his job so they are not sure if they will be in attendance for the wedding - I completely understand this situation and I'm fine with it.  My sister is complaining about the price of everything (but she is the one that was inviting her boyfriend, his 3 kids her other 1/2 sister and the sisters family)  - and I haven't spoken to them again so I guess I'm counting my niece out also. 

 

Now the MOH - she went with me to originally try on my wedding dress - and also tried on the dress I liked.  This didn't initially bother me...but a few weeks later she send me a picture of a watch that looks exactly like the one FI gave me last Christmas.  So I said where did you get a pic of my watch she responds that her husband just bought it for her.  Now I'm a bit furious and decide to take some time off from her.  I got my dress with another family member I have still been getting things done. She sent me messages that her and her husband are trying to figure out what to do about booking because he doesn't know if he is coming...OK.  A few weeks ago I spoke to her about her dress- and decided to tell her we can look for her dress once she books her hotel - doesn't make sense to waste time and money if she doesn't book.  Now.....she just told me that she is prego...and want to change the dress because what I choose may not work.....

 

What do y'all think?  Some family member are telling me to get someone else to walk with me.

I ended up with a dress from Pronovias and they had some kind of sale going on so the price was really good too.

@ Tenny.... hmmmm I think I understood your story

Did you MOH purchase a dress yet or not?

I totally agree that you should wait until she books so you know for sure if she is coming or not before you purchase a dress. But then you also said shes pregnant now and wants a different dress, when is she due?

Judging the situation Im gonna say she's probably not going to go, and you should probably listen to your family and find another back up MOH

[Tennyt1]

No she has no dress right now.  I may have to find a back up....its just frustrating because everyone (guests) are giving me a story.  I don't know....sorry for venting.

Hi Tennyt1,

 

Kind of a tough one!  I think it really comes down to how good of a friend she is?  The fact that she's pregnant and still wants to go to/stand in your wedding says to me that she's still committed.  I'm sure anyone not committed would use it as a way out....  If she's a good friend and you want her there, the bridesmaid dress shouldn't be a determining factor - everyone's gonna be looking at you all day anyway!!! 

 

I think it comes down to this - is it worth affecting your friendship to ask her to step down?  That can be a hard one for some friendships to survive...  But if this doesn't bother than you then maybe it is time to ask someone else.... 

 

Good luck with your decision!
