I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'd love some feedback.
My wedding is five months away and I have a strong feeling one of my maids is going to back out due to financial reasons. If this does happen, my first instinct is not to replace her, as it may be considered tacky to ask someone else at this point.
However, I do have another person in mind that I would consider. This person is a new friend who I did not now well enogh at the time of my engagement to ask to be in the wedding, but based on how our friendship has blossomed, I would totally consider her now. I actually had considered adding her anyway at one point, but decided against it due to bugetary concerns.
Do you all think it's totally rude to ask someone as a replacement? Has anyone ever done this or been asked?
