Bridesmaid complications

Hi ladies,


I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced any drama with a bridesmaid completely ghosting everyone as the wedding is getting closer? And if so, how you handled the situation?The reason I ask is because a friend of mine/bridesmaid - who can at times be unreliable- but mostly minor things- has completely gone dark the last few months and hasn’t responded to anyone, texts and phone calls. No responses on updates on getting her dress, or coming to the bachelorette party that she was originally helping plan with my MOH. My wedding is June 5th and we’re down to the wire now. When I did finally get a hold of her a month ago, I had a conversation with her and asked her if this was just too much and if she didn’t feel comfortable with being involved. And if so, that’s fine but just let me know. Even if she felt like she no longer wanted to be in the wedding, that’s fine as well. I don’t want to put a burden on someone if there’s too much going on. She went on about how she’s been so busy and that’s not it and she’s planning all these things for the wedding and so on. (Which is odd because she hasn’t communicated anything to anyone about this) Unfortunately it felt like a lot of excuses for her recent behavior. I left it as is because I gave her the option to step down, and it’s up to her. So over the next month as planning continued she’s completely ghosted my MOH and no responses to me either on details. I don’t even know if she ordered her dress for the wedding because I never got a straight answer from her about it. My bachelorette party is next weekend and my MOH had to change most of the plans because she wasn’t able to get ahold of this bridesmaid. Which I feel bad about since this is my friend who left her hanging on finalizing plans. To make a long story short, I ended up deciding to ask her to step down since she’s not able to respond to anyone about what’s going on and it’s clearly not working for her. It’s gotten to a point that it seems like she may not even show up so I felt I had little other choice but to move on without her and to that she immediately responded. Again odd because she couldn’t answer me the day before when I reached out. It sucks and I’m sad, but I feel like it’s the best. And it’s made me reflect on our friendship and I sort of realized that maybe it’s better this way. Anyone else? What are your experiences?
