overwhelmed bride...

Juliannebradfield

I am having a problem and my whole wedding is out of hand, im sure everyone feels that way while your planning, one of my main problems are bridesmaids. I would have loved to have had three and my husband to be wanted five or more. Since he doesn't really care about anything else i compromised. In all of my furry I forgot one of my friend and i dont know what to do, i feel guilty for not inviting her to be a bridesmaid because i know she expects it. To top matters she is suffering from the rarest form of muscular distrophy and is getting worse every day, and i don't know if she would be comfortable with walking down the isle in front of so many people.! Advise would be wonderful!

Just ask her to be a BM. Tell your FI to butt out of your side as it's none of his business, even if it's the only thing he "cares about".

[QUOTE]If he wants five or more (not that anyone should pick BPs based on numbers, but still...) and you have five and want one more, pretty sure that falls under "five or more."

As a math teacher, I concur that this is correct.

I may have to use this as a word problem the next time I teach inequalities.

How many people he has on his side has no bearing on how many people you have on your side.  Ask her if you want her up there.  Uneven sides are very common; I had uneven sides, as did many other people on this board.

P.S. If wedding planning is literally overwhelming you, you need to take a step back from it all.  Wedding planning isn't inherently stressful, and if it is you need to pull back a bit.  It's just a party, it's just one day.  The marriage is FAR more important, and the look of the wedding is far less important than who is in it with you, what you do, and the marriage that comes after.  Don't lose sight of that.

My advice is delete this account and make another one where you don't use your full name. Are you familiar with identity theft and stalkers?

The Knot needs a "like" button.

I don't see the problem.  You don't need to have even sids, you want to make this girl a bridesmaid, so make her a bridesmaid and have uneven sides.
