Bridesmaid gone.. one month to go.

Emily, on June 22, 2019 at 13:36 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 10

So here we are a little over a month to go before our wedding date and one of the bridesmaids ( my cousin) has up and backed out.


she has advised me that her mother has paid for her to go away for that weekend so she will be going away, she is also upset that she paid for a dress once ( we had changed date and color and wedding date was 2 years away at the point when she bought her dress). honestly it doesn't surprise me she backed out, just wish she could have given me a little more notice.


sorry for the rant!

    Hmmm it is confusing that all this would come about so close to your wedding. Do you think this is a bit of stick it to you for the whole changing date/colour thing? Weird that your Aunt would go along with it but take it in stride and move. At the end of the day how much does it change your day? Are you looking to replace her?

    That was my first thought! Like, ya it's crazy for a cousin to choose a vacation over a wedding - but the Aunt planning it makes it just insane to me!

    I guess even though it's so close to the wedding date and they are family, now you know what their priorities are?

    I would be upset too, I find it extremely odd your aunt would do something like that when she new there was an event.

    Its hard to know what happens when one wedding party goes through everything you want them to do and be at the time about. Backing out the month before is hard to hear. Though you knew it would happen, you handled it perfect and know your wedding day is going to be smooth without any distractions or annoyance.

    That sounds so frustrating! I admire that you're handling it so well - I don't know how I would react if one of my girls decided to bail on my wedding to go on a trip.. She couldn't have waited until the next day? Smh.

    Wow. She couldn’t move her trip to another weekend? That would upset me a little bit, but at least she told you this early instead of closer to the date!

    Wow ..that’s ridiculous. She can go away any time ...wow!! That would miff me a bit but honestly just focus on your day knowing the people that truly care will be there with you!
