moh Advice

Hi everyone! I’m a first time bride and I have 2 MOHs who are my best friends of 13 years. My wedding is in 7 months but I’m starting to get concerned about one of my MOHs. The 3 of us plus my HTB and my other MOH’s partner all went for a getaway weekend and she got quite upset as she felt like the 3rd (or 5th) wheel and didn’t have anyone to go with as a couple. I completely understand why she was upset, and I did my best to comfort her and make her feel happy. But she also left early on my engagement party without warning (not to mention both MOH’s never responded to my change of date due to covid last year) so they nearly forgot to come. Also for this entire 4 day getaway, the wedding was not mentioned once, and I felt I couldn’t really talk about it given the situation. When I brought up the hen’s night, she merely acknowledged it and moved on.


I guess I am just concerned that my wedding is going to have a negative affect on her as I don’t want things to get worse as the planning gets more full on later in the year. Should I talk to her about this? I don’t want to seem confrontational, but I want to put things to rest while I still can. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

    I can understand that one of your MOH’s felt a little jealous about being the ‘odd one out’ on the trip and that she perhaps let her feelings get in the way of other things but there is no obligation on either of your MOH’s to constantly talk about your wedding and pre-wedding events and I don’t really understand why it is an issue that your wedding was not mentioned over this getaway or that your hen’s night was glossed over. Your friends I am sure are excited for you but it doesn’t mean that your wedding will be a topic of conversation every time you see or speak to them, and that is totally ok and doesn’t in any way mean that they feel negatively about your wedding.

    I can’t speak to the engagement party but it sounds like your MOH(s) had things or their plates and dropped the ball a little bit but at least at this stage it doesn’t seem like anything significant enough to warrant a heart to heart about what they have or have not done.

    Naw thank you so much, this does put my mind at ease ☺️ I don’t think it was the best weekend for her, so I guess it sent us all into a overthinking frenzy 🤪

    I think that you should I say that because it's still on your mind. You are entitled to be happy about your wedding is approaching soon. But you are thinking of her because you are still trying to consider her feelings. You can not let it take up too much space in your head. Once you both cam talk and iron out what the problem is you'll feel better. And since the whole engagement I have been thru the 4 season's meaning of attitudes, happiness, Congratulations down right I have hear about your wedding again because it hasn't for them or did happen but fail. I have god we both Evee will rise up ok stay true to you and go plan your amazing wedding my dear

    You had a 4-day weekend trip, an engagement party, and you also want a hen party? That is asking a lot from your wedding party, and they are not obligated to talk about your wedding. I would reconnect with them as friends.
