Ghosting bridesmaid

Jessica, on June 10, 2021 at 8:05 PM Posted in Planning 0 14
So I felt obligated to have my fiancé’s friend as a bridesmaid. Long story short she helped him propose to me at the perfect place and time. I thought we were friends and now I’m unsure where we stand. She was dating the best man and found out she was pregnant after I asked her to be my bridesmaid. She seemed like she was been distant and she hasn’t been getting anything together in a reasonable time frame. Normally u want to get ur dress for the wedding as soon as possible so it would be there in time for the wedding. I get married on June 19th. We looked at dresses for everyone February. We found her a dress and I was willing to pay for it. She said no an tht she would pay for it tht next week. Two months after I ask her if she ever got her dress? Did it fit? What needs to be done to it so it would fit her perfect? She tells me she hasn’t ordered a dress yet and that I’m over reacting. She wants her dress tht she tried on at David’s bridal , I find out tht she can’t have tht dress because it’s now on back order and it won’t be in till after my wedding. I said ok I can buy u a dress , pick another out and I’ll have it shipped to ur house. She says no again and picks a dress online from David’s bridal tht she never tried on and buy it and has it come to her house. She tells me a month later tht she got the dress and will have alterations done tht next week . She said she knows a place. I said ok and trusted her she was gonna have it don. And told her if money was an issue I can pay for it. Now it’s 10 days before I get married and I have not been able to contact her at all. I find out tht her and the best man are now separated and aren’t talking to each other . I try and text her, her phone is apparently out of service. I try and ask the best man if he knows anything he says she hasn’t gotten her dress fixed yet . Keep in mind she told me she would a while ago. They tell me she also is now 6 months pregnant.(which means she isn’t wearing the size outfits she normally fits in and tht her size 6 dress probably won’t fit now). I am so upset I try and contact her every form I know how to asking if she would like me to have her dress fixed, my family sews and can literally make a dress fit her and have the bottom hemmed. I know if someone’s phone is turned off . If u have WiFi of any sort u can use apps to message Thru. So I make sure to message her everything on Snapchat. Because she and the best man broke up and are now separated , she has unfriended me from Snapchat. I know this because , it notified me when I tried sending the messages to her. I can’t get I contact with her to even know her address to meet her or send her the invitation. I am now emotionally hurt and mentally stressed. I want the public’s opinion should I replace her? I have an actual friend who is willing to be a bridesmaid. We are able to find my friend an emergency dress.

    I am sorry this is happening to you. That's a lot to deal with so close to your wedding. I would definitely assume she is not showing up on the wedding day and plan for that, whether it's asking your other friend who is willing to be a bridesmaid or just adjusting the order and pairings of how the wedding party walks down the aisle. It's very hurtful but it's so close to your wedding, I would just try to move on from her drama and try to focus on your other final wedding details and having a great time on the day of. Good luck.

    It sounds like your friend is going through an incredibly challenging time with her sudden breakup and pregnancy. I would ask how she is and how you can help her personally - nothing wedding related.

    I think the best course of action right now it to accept she is not going to be a bridesmaid and to move forward. She might not even be coming to the wedding. Letting that uncertainty go will really help; stop trying to chase her down and let go of that stress. Then, no you don't replace her, just move forward with your current bridal party who have been there supporting you the entire time. The whole situation stinks, I'm sorry!

    Since she is your fiancé's friend, has he tried reaching out to her? She is probably really stressed with being pregnant and now she will be raising the baby as a single mom. I highly doubt she wants to be around the best man or deal with people asking what happened. I would take her silence and unfriending you to mean she isn't going to be a bridesmaid anymore. I also wouldn't make someone else a bridesmaid on such a short notice.

    I agree with this. I understand why this feels very stressful right now, but you will do yourself a huge favor if you just accept she won't be there and realize that this won't affect your wedding day at all. I mean, she's not a close friend you will miss. And there's quite literally no reason to replace her.

    Her situation sounds very sad, but hopefully she has her own friends who are there for her, just as your friends will be there for you.

    Have you guys reached out to her at all during all of this to see how she's doing and talk to her about non-wedding related things?

    I have but because she isn’t dating the best man anymore she decided to block me from snap chat and she had the groomsman tell us tht her phone is turned off. She won’t get in contact with me. I have tried to have her use other people Thru communications and nothing is working.

    Definitely don't replace her, but I would assume at this point that she's not going to show up. There isn't anything you need to do. You'll just have one fewer bridesmaid. Sides don't need to be even.

    I meant before all that happened. When you first found out she was pregnant and were asking her about the dress. Did you ask her how she was doing and stuff?

    Yes she said she was doing good,she was having a good relationship with the guy she was with. She had a job at the time and didn’t have anything going on. She never mentioned if she had issues. Eventually she stopped texting me and responding to my messages.
