Kicked out of the wedding party...

So I just got back from the bridal shower for my friend's wedding who booted me from the bridal party. No dramatic reason for the boot. It was simply because one of her FH's groomsmen was unable to follow through so "some cuts had to be made"... I was told at the engagement party in front of everyone. It was great. ANYWHO, same thing happened to my best friend. She was a bridesmaid, another groomsmen bailed and "another cut had to be made"... This time the bride told her via facebook and hasn't said a word about it since. Fast forward to the bridal shower. Best friend and I got to listen to the bride and bridal party rave about all things bridesmaid and the bachelorette party which we haven't heard a word about. Spent the rest of the party sitting at the corner table. It's not a huge deal, just an awkward situation and interesting story I thought some peeps might enjoy! lol

Anyone else here been booted from the party or have been the bootee? Share your stories! Smiley smile

    Rude!!! I feel your pain. I was booted because I didn't want to treat the bride to an "all inclusive bachelorette" weekend. Needless to say, that friendship was ended. She reached out when I got engaged but things just aren't the same and I definitely don't need toxic people in my life.

    That is awful. Uneven bridal party is not excuse. That is super crappy and I cannot imagine how the bride feels like that is ok.

    I am having 3 bridesmaids and my FH is having 6 groomsman. My girls are actually really happy because they get to be paired up with 2 guys each Smiley winking

    Wow! Your friend was very rude and inconsiderate. If she had to make a cut , there was definitely a better way to handle it. We aren't having even sides. I have a MOH and 2 bridesmaids. FH didn't want a best man or groomsmen so I haven't pressed the issue. I agree with the others. I would reevaluate your friendship with her or at least get some clarification from her. It was very thoughtless how she booted you and makes me wonder why your involvement stemmed on whether or not someone else came.

    Your friend is a d-bag.

    I was relieved of my Maid of Honor duties once. When I agreed to the job, the wedding was scheduled for the summer before I enrolled in graduate school abroad. My friend changed the wedding date 4 times (within 3 months of the wedding) before settling on the weekend after my first week of school... abroad. I wasn't about to fly back home and miss classes for something that very well could change again. She lost her shit so badly that we stopped being friends immediately.

    I could never remain friends with someone who puts numbers above friendship. She showed you where she places her value (hint..not on your friendship)

    Super RUDE!! I definitely would not have gone to her shower or any other wedding related events if her only reason was to make the BP even. That's bullshit...

    My party is completely lopsided... 3 GMs and 7 BMs... and we're not changing a damn thing.. we're going to make it work with who we have... If she was truly your friend she would have made it work as well.. In fact a better solution would've been to have you and the other GM-less bridesmaid walk down the aisle with each other..

    Sounds like you dodged a bullet with that one...
