Im sad: i might have to drop a bridesmaid

Monica, on December 27, 2019 at 6:50 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 26

This is not by my choosing but by FHs wishes. The bridesmaid is FHs sister. Me and her are really close, FH thinks we are a little too close being that he has a strained relationship with her. But the issue is that a lot of family drama went down between him, his sister & his mom. A lot of disrespectful things were said (by her). His family is a little dysfunctional in the sense that they fight and then completely stop talking. This fight happened mid November and still they both haven’t talked to each other, not even at Christmas. He wants her to apologize or at least admit she shouldn’t have spazzed out on Him & cuss him out. She feels like shes the victim from the situation which is why she cussed him out and wants to put it behind her by not talking about it & pretty much act like nothing ever happened.

This puts me in a very awkward situation. He feels personally disrespected, and why would you want someone who disrespected you to be in your wedding? So I get it. If his brother/friend/cousin who is a groomsman really disrespected me, I might ask him to do the same.

I think I would fight for her if she was in the right, but unfortunately shes not. When something happens im the type of person who doesn’t just blame the other person, I reflect on faults for both sides and how both ppl could have done better. So not to say that FH is completely right, both of them could have communicated better but it wasn’t FHs fault.
I told his sister that if this fight created a war between her and her brother then hes not going to want her in the wedding. I said I really really hope they can recover and move forward from this.
This is more of a vent. Shes my really close friend but at the end of the day Im not going to let this cause potential problems between me & FH or on our wedding day, so if he really wants her dropped then I will side with him. This is his family drama not mine. Im just sad


update: had to haul out my laptop to edit this -_-

    When you told her that how did she respond? I am sorry for the situation as this does put you in a bind because of their issues.

    She said in that case that means she lost more money because she already paid for her dress. This was the day of the drama. Since then I have continuously said I hope they can both come to good terms. She hasn’t specifically said she will try to fix things. Maybe she didn’t take me seriously. Also recently I booked my makeup artist which she’s also getting her makeup done. As I put down the deposit I asked her to make sure that no matter what happens does she still want to get her makeup done. Maybe I need to be clear.

    Well maybe have them both sit down and talk it out but if they do not work it out then let her be the one to step down because if at some point they do make up then she will still be your SIL and this could cause tension between you two. Try to maintain the friendship but maybe you need to make sure he is happy.

    I would pull that card. Then if she refuses she is the reason she is no longer in the bridal party esp if it was her fault. After that keep them far apart until after the wedding.

    I agree with Kristen , maybe try to sit them down to talk and you can mediate since you’ve looked at both sides. Whether she ends up being in your bridal party or not , you two are close and you’ll be marrying into that family , so it would be nice for the two of them to get along before the wedding because the sister may even be in a bad mood at the wedding if she’s dropped from being a bridesmaid. I hope everything works out!

    UPDATE: I didnt want to talk about it today but the conversation came up. Guys I feel like crying. I told his sister that at some point Im going to ask her to talk to him FOR MY SAKE. She said she has nothing to talk about and nothing to say to him. She has no problems with him he needs to let it go and move forward. He has the problem with her because he supposedly cussed at her first so he is not a victim. (But the situation that caused the issue was not his fault)


    I told her that makes me very sad because that means Im going to lose her as a bridesmaid and I dont want that to affect our friendship.
    Her response: If she gets dropped from the wedding there is going to be a verbal war, shes going to tell the whole family on why she did not attend the wedding and she will have problems with her brother for the rest of her life
    Wow.

    You're in a rough spot because they're both stubborn and she sounds like she'll cause drama. Although she sounds a bit immature though so I would ask do you want a friendship like that? The tough decision is keep her to dance your friendship but cause tension in your marriage. What does your husband say when you told him what she said?

    I haven’t even told him yet. His response is going to be well then forget her. I have to approach it delicately. I might make one last attempt and ask him to put it behind him and move forward after that im done. I tried. But Im not ready to have that conversation yet

    If you kick her out of the wedding you should reimburse her for the dress.

    Sorry but her response was very immature so if she's dropped from the wedding not only will her actions effect him they do you as well. It's a hard place to be in but I would reimburse her for the dress and make-up and move on start your family and remove the negativity of his family drama out the door. New life New beginnings.

    That's good. I can't really give you other advice since your description of what happened is so vague and unclear.

    THANK YOU BABY JESUS. They have resolved their drama literally 10minutes ago. I am actually very proud of FH because hes ghetto and he gets mad real fast and will be the first one to take stuff to the next level. But he didn’t blame anyone he didn’t point fingers or demand an apology. They squashed it. I dont have to drop her thank Goodness.
