I am getting married in September and in the last 2 weeks I have had 2 bridesmaids and 1 groomsmen drop out of the wedding on top of having issues with our venue. I was basically done with all my wedding planning by early April and all we needed to be was pay for everything, and now I feel like I am basically planning this wedding from scratch all over again. I have been able to get my issues with the venue resolved, but I was at one point searching for a new venue due to no response from our venue coordinator for almost a month. I had to do a lot of rearranging with our wedding party and adding new people 2 1/2 months before the wedding, which means basically not time for new outfits for my new bridesmaids. Now I am no sure if the officiant who is also a SIL is going to be able to make it to the wedding. Half of my immediate family lives in CA (the wedding is in IN where I am currently living) and I am not sure if that half will be coming. My SIL that is marrying us is in the half of the family that lives in CA and no one from that side of my family has bought plane tickets or made any plans/arrangements for coming out and when I ask about that side coming, I keep getting the same answer of "we are working on making arrangements". I feel like they are trying to spare my feeling by not out right saying they aren't coming. I would rather them just tell me they don't want or can't come then be stuck in this limbo. I have asked my SIL a few times that if she isn't able to make it out to please let me know asap so I can make other arrangements to have someone else be our officiant. I have had absolutely no issues with any wedding planning until the past 2 weeks, It feels like every turn there is another issue. Is it normal to have this many issues happen all at once this close to the wedding?
