NO FREAKING WAY!!!

lcatterton

I can't believe it!!! I just got a call at work, and it's my bridesmaid. She tells me that we're going to have to find a dress that will fit someone a little larger and I ask her if she's being lazy and giving up on her diet. Haha. Nope, turns out she's pregnant!!!! I just can't believe it. How weird considering I JUST posted this:
"First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Secondly, if one of my bridesmaids got pregnant, I would be thrilled for her!  (Well, as long as it's not my 20 year old sister. Haha.) I probably would suggest to her that she sit during the ceremony at 36 weeks pregnant, since that is quite far along. But, it wouldn't change the fact that she is one of my besties and that I want her to be there for me during my wedding day.

And, lastly, really, just tell her. If she reacts any other way than supportive of you, then she is likely being selfish. If that happens, give her some time to come back down to earth and realize that life goes on even if she is getting married. If she never gets over it, that's her deal. Most likely though, you guys can work something out together!!"

And, too funny, she'll be due two weeks after my wedding! How funny!!!

PS: It was NOT my sister. Whew!!

Kind of an inside joke between me and her since we both suck at exercise/diets and have asked each other quite often if we've given up yet! Haha. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" /> We used to live together, so we're extremely close and anything goes between us!!!

Way too cool.  I saw your earlier post and remembered the part about your sister.  Whew!

Glad she is still in your wedding. One of my bridesmaids decided to drop out of the wedding last week because she's pregnant and thought she'd be due around the time of the wedding. Now after going to the DR she isn't actually due til 3 weeks before, so it sucks even more than she won't be in it.

That is a bummer! I would be seriously lost if this girl wasn't in my wedding!!! I don't think the thought even crossed either of our minds. It was like "Well, you'll be huge! We'll have to shop for maternity dresses." Haha.

And, yes, kmmssg, I'm so glad my it's not my sister. Haha. She'd be getting an earful, but I'd still be pleased to be an aunt!! I only have the two bridesmaids, so she better be careful or it'll be a maternity party up there!! Haha.
