Ok.. how do I start.. At the beginning of last month, I had 6 bridesmaids and a mother of the groom. Within a month, my maid of honor has ditched me because I don't have time for her (I work 60 hours a week and have to sleep, eat, laundry, and see my fiance every once and a while). Oh.. and she took with her the one bridesmaid that was more of her friend, but a filler. So two down.. then last night my fiance informs me that his mother isn't coming, because it is too far to travel (45 mins) and that his sister (a bridesmaid) wasn't coming either. I am getting married in 6 months, but I have to have dresses ordered at the end of Oct to get here by Jan, and whatever alterations needed by March. how do I arrange 6 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids? But more importantly.. what can or could I do about fiance family or how to help him deal? I am more heartbroken for him.
