i Don't Know What To Do...

So last month on the 18th we had a cookout to get our wedding party members together. One of my bridesmaids couldn't make it (a lot of them couldn't, actually) and she hasn't said a word to me since.

So last month on the 18th we had a cookout to get our wedding party members together. One of my bridesmaids couldn't make it (a lot of them couldn't, actually) and she hasn't said a word to me since. Everyone else has been in consistent contact with me on at least a weekly to biweekly basis. She's been on Facebook and Snapchat so I know she has been on her phone. I've reached out multiple times to be completely ignored. Should I assume she wants nothing to do with the wedding anymore? How long do I wait? I'm going dress shopping in a little less than a month and all of the other girls have at least responded to me saying one way or another whether they're going. She does have a special needs child; but she's never gone this long without speaking to me before. There was no fight. I wasn't rude to her when she couldn't make the cookout. I was like, "hey no worries I'll talk to you again soon," and it's been complete radio silence ever since. Am I overreacting?

    I don’t think you’re overreacting. All brides whether the wedding is in a week or a year panic over the big day. When things seem wrong or messed up, it’s going to cause frustration. I’d give her maybe another week then just call her or text her again. Ask her how things are going and if there’s anything she needs help with. I agree with the be a friend first, bride second thing. But then if she proceeds to ignore you maybe just put it in writing how you’re feeling. Not angrily, just worried. If she doesn’t respond to that then I’d assume she isn’t interested in it anymore. But I would still be nice about it!! Don’t stress, honey! Everything will come together!! Best of wishes!!

    She just got back in touch with me this week. I guess I jumped the gun a little and should've just been a little more patient.

    In this time of technology we tend to text or FB message.
    Maybe you have already done this, but I would call her, or stop by to say hi.
    It's not good to assume. You mentioned a child with special needs. That may be an issue.
    The best approach is as a concerned friend.
    I hope all ends up going well.
    Congratulations!!
