Just like the majority of you, we’re postponing our wedding to Fall 2021. We’ve decided to elope on our original date 10.10.20, just the two of us. We already had to cancel. We’ve cancelled our Bach in Cabo in Sept and opted to Palm Springs Airbnb. Now my bridesmaids do not want to go PS due to covid (understandable).

With this trickle effect and sending out new save the dates. Not one bridesmaids has reached out to me or understand the grief I’m going through.
I guess all I really care about are my girls who are all my family to reach out versus speak amongst themselves.
I was really hoping at least this mini Bach of 5 would be the only thing I can hold onto. Because I don’t want anything next year prior to wedding reception. Over it lol

Have you thought about reaching out to them? I think COVID is stressing many people out, not just us brides

Hi Jasmine, yes I’ve reached out but I’m not getting responses - just a “like” “heart” on our iMessages or having my MOH speak on behalf of everyone.

I’m just in my feelings LOL

They aren’t in your shoes right now, so it’s hard for them to understand and they probably don’t know what to say. There’s been a lot of brides saying the same as you, their bridal party doesn’t seem to be there for them right now. It’s hard to understand what exactly you’re going through when they aren’t experiencing it themselves and may have other things on their minds. It sucks, because it’s always nice to have people reach out, but just remember that they probably don’t fully understand the grief you’re going through.

2020 has been one sucker of a year, I feel you girl, I postponed from December 2020 to December 2021.

In trying times, we all appreciate having friends check up on us to see how we’re going and to lend their emotional support. With this said, your BMs have their own things to deal with in their lives. Your feelings about the wedding are 100% valid, but don’t let it cloud your judgment in your expectations of your BMs.

They probably don’t know what you need right now or what to say. Putting a heart on your text may be all they think they need to do to say they understand and they’re sorry. They might even think if you are calm it’ll make it worse to make a big deal out of it. I’d schedule a phone call if you need to have a good cry/discussion with them.
