I had a huge fall out with one of my very best friends two years ago so when I got engaged last spring I had no choice but to push the thought of ever having her in my wedding out of my mind even though it hurt a lot. I don't have a lot of close friends and, to make things worse my fiancé is Mr. social and wanted to like five people each. We finally settled on three each so I chose my oldest best friend, a newer close friend of about five years and a brand new friend even though we still did not know much about each other. BIG MISTAKE ...now, with less than five months until wedding day she bailed on me and I'm left with just the two. I don't mind uneven wedding parties however, I recently rekindled my friendship with the original best friend and I really want to ask her. My dilemmas: this is a destination wedding and she has recently told me she has seven weddings to attend in 2014, she's in four and two are destination. The other issue is she knows about the third bridesmaid bailing and I wouldn't want her to feel I only asked her to fill the spot. I also don't want to pressure her into being in my wedding or even making the not so cheap trip to Punta Cana on five months notice. Do I ask her anyways? And if so....how?????
Thanks for any help!!!!
