Lost my half of the bridal party

Dana, on September 27, 2021 at 1:39 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 7
Fiance and I picked our closest friends to be our wedding party, was gonna be 6 total; best person, Maid of Honor, 2 groomsmen and 2 bridesmaids.... My maid of honor and 1 of the brides maids have cancelled on me and I'm devastated... They were my 2 best friends and my third is my cousin who I adore... But it's just not gonna be the same

    Just curious, did they give a reason for cancelling? & are they still attending as guests or they declined to come to the wedding? I know you are probably saddened by it, but don't let that set the tone for your big day. Enjoy your day with those who will be in attendance!

    Not coming at all 😞 they both have reasons that I fully understand. I know it will still be a great time but it kinda hurts at the same time

    Would it be possible to still have them virtually (wifi/hotspot pending)? Have places standing next to both of you. They can still get dressed up and still be present for the ceremony maybe?

    Aww that sucks, but understandable. Maybe someone could record it for them so that they could still watch the ceremony.

    Phones, tablets, laptops, facetime, zoom, etc. There is definitely a way to do it!! but you may need to see if you can borrow equipment and a hot spot depending on your venue. I've seen users walk down the MOH before on a fire tablet because she couldn't make it due to being in another country. Just a thought Smiley smile

    I would be hurt too if people I loved couldn’t attend. However, if they have a good reason, it’s best to just make the best of what will still be a great day! Try to FT them when you’re getting ready, but either way you’ll have a lot going on that day and it will still be amazing. Your feelings are valid tho on being sad, just don’t let it ruin your day with the love of your life
