When I first asked the girls to be my bridesmaid, I included a childhood best friend that lives in another state, but I have always kept close contact with. She said yes, and was originally really excited about helping however she could from afar. I didn't expect much help because she was so far away, but I was happy that she was keeping me up to date.
I think the problems really began when we picked out bridesmaid dresses. She obviously wasn't able to shop with us, but I still sent her pictures of the dresses we looked at and such. She told me then, that she would order her dress a little later because she needed to get paid first. That was no big deal to me at all. Since then though, she's been silent on the wedding completely. She'll text me updates on her life, but if I try to mention the wedding she blows me off and I still have no idea if she even bought the dress at all.
I asked her a few times, (maybe once a month), if she had gotten the dress yet, and every time it was the same answer (I'll get it soon don't worry)... the last time I asked she got really mad at me for asking. It's really kind of frustrating because I'm down to a month before my wedding... I don't know if she ever got the dress, and if she's even still planning to come to the wedding. I've called her and she hasn't answered and I have texted her numerous times with no response. At this point I assume she isn't even coming, but without knowing for sure I don't want to write her out, then lose her as a friend. Anyone deal with something like this and how did you deal with it?
