BM might have to drop out

A little backstory here: I have a very small BP. My MOH and one BM. My BM is married to FI's Best man, who just basically told her he wants a divorce. Of course, she is devasted and does not know if she can go through with being in the wedding. Totally understandable and I told her to do what is right for her. My day is only one day and she means more to me than that. I am just hoping at this point that she even shows up as a guest. She is awesome and will really be missed if can't come at all.
Question is though..do I try to replace her if she does back out? I feel weird just having a MOH while FI has 3 people on his side.

  • No you shouldn't. It's rude to her and the replacements. Uneven sides are fine.
  • Yeah, that's what I thought. I am just shocked by the suddenness of the split, so my rational thinking isn't there.

  • I agree with PP. Definitely fo not replace her. Uneven sides are fine! Mine will be uneven too.

    I like you. I agree with a lot of your posts.

  • Give her some time and don't pressure her about making a decision; just be there for your friend.  There's still a couple months and she might be in a better place by then.  By no means should you replace her. 
  • Absolutly not.  You are 2 months and 2 weeks from your wedding, asking someone to fill in at this point or any point would be just plain rude not to mention a financial burden to them.
  • Definitely don't replace her.  It's too late not to hurt feelings and uneven sides are totally fine.  Plus maybe she will remain in the WP with some time.
