OK I'll try and make this as short as possible.
My sister was in my wedding with 3 other people. My sister is a very plus size woman and pregnant, so we were going to have to have the dresses made so they would all be the same color. I told my girls that I would pay for the dresses because they were going to be expensive to get made. Two weeks ago my sister got put on bed rest and can't be in the wedding party and we're not sure if she is even coming to the wedding. If she does she is doing a reading during our sand ceremony. One of my other really close friends took her spot. My MOH and I went today and picked out their bridesmaids dress from David's bridal. Its moderatly expensive at 159 after tax and everything. My MOH keeps insisting that they should pay for the dress. But it just makes me feel terrible that they would have to buy dresses theyll never wear again for my wedding. I've told them I don't care what shoes or acceceries they wear. I said it'd be nice if all the shoes were black but if you find a killer pair in another color thats fine with me. My MOH is throwing my bridal shower but my mom is paying for it. 2 of my bridesmaids are in college and working and the 4th is FI's cousin in highschool. Do i stick to the plan of paying for the dresses? I just keep thinking about it and that 600 would pay for a lot of other things
