So I usually just lurk on the boards here, but this week has sucked to say the least (with regard to wedding stuff anyways). In the past week, my caterer (family friend) has developed blood clots in her lungs, the priest has been put on administrative leave (long story, but it doesn't surprise me), and my wedding dress came in and I don't really like it anymore. I also found out that my grandparents (who live in Arizona) will likely not be able to come to the wedding due to my grandfather's health problems (we planned the wedding so they would already be in Wisconsin and wouldn't have to make a special trip up for it), and then I get a call from one of my best friends who is a bridesmaid in the wedding. She backed out due to a new job in New Zealand! I'm certainly not mad at her, as she's from NZ and needs the money to pay back school loans and fix up the house that she owns there. I'm happy that she's putting her family first, but also at a loss of what to do with one of my best friends literally moving around the world.
So I guess I don't know what to even do with myself right now! Do I find another bridesmaid, or is that tacky since all of my somewhat close friends/family know that I've had everything figured out for the last 4 months? I don't want to make anyone feel like they're a "second choice" bridesmaid...
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
