I have a great guy friend who is my Man of Honor then I have a 4 bridesmaids and a Jr. bridesmaid
Bridesmaid #1 A dear friend for 8 yrs. went MIA after she said yes to stand up with me. I still haven't heard from her so I've moved on. o.k. no problem
Bridesmaid #2 I thought was a good friend, who is getting a divorce from one of our groomsmen and has a side boyfriend and was late to the bridal shower 1 1/2 hours that she was co-hosting and she actually did nothing for the shower because of the new boyfriend.
Bridesmaid #3 Who also was supposed to co-host was 2 hours late with a set of towels from cost-co that wasn't on the registry/wrapped. She didn't bother to look at the registry and never showed to help with the shower.
Bridesmaid #4 I love so much lives out of state and couldn't make it. I understand 2 plane tickets in two months is a lot to ask.
My MOH didn't know what to do for the shower so he my Mom and me did the planning, decorating & activities last minute. My fiance, the GEM that he is offered to cook for us to help make this a great shower(how lucky am I?) I am so embarrassed for my MOH because the other two that said they would help were basically no shows and they were given credit on the invitation.
I am feeling very hurt that these two girls did this and am going to tell them if they are late for the wedding day activities to not even bother showing up. I only want people there who really care about us.
I get emergencies that happen daily that would have held them back but this wasn't the case. A lack of friendship, trust & disrespect is all the two of them showed.
I am reading this as I write it and thinking did I really make the right decisions in choosing these two girls. Should I tell them if they are going to be late at all to the wedding not to show up?
