in March 2012 Weddings
I just found out today that one of my bridesmaids is dropping out of my wedding :(  I'm not mad because I completely understand her situation (she's in grad. school and is a TA so she found out she can't cancel a class for the wedding) and I want her to do what's best for her.  However, now i don't know what to do about my lopsided wedding party.  We have 6 groomsmen (including the best man) and I was already starting off lopsided at 5 BM, and now without one it's 4 on one side and 6 on the other.  I don't really have a lot of girlfriends left that I would feel comfortable asking to join (as sad as that sounds).  So do I try to find another girl to fill the empty spot, ask one of the groomsmen to step down (I would prefer not to do this because I don't want to be bitchy/mean and I want them all there to support my fiance), or just have it be lopsided?  What would you do in this situation??

    Do you have a close guy friend you could ask?  I know lots of people who are including their dear friends of the opposite sex... both bride's side and groom's side

    What about cousins?  Does FI have a sister?  You have lots of time, maybe your friend will be able to work it out

    I would definitely not ask one of the groomsmen to step down.  Do you have any sisters or close cousins?  How about your fiance, does he have any sisters?  I don't think its that bad to have it lopsided.  I was just questioning this a few days ago because I have 7 girls on my side and my fiance only wants to ask 5 guys for his side so we're having 2 of the girls walk out together.  For our ceremony, our bridal party will be sitting down too.

    It would be fine to have an uneven wedding party.  Two of your bridesmaids can be lucky enough to have a guy on each arm.  :)

    I would not ask anyone else if there isn't someone you really want. Just have 2 of the girl's double up on groomsmen. It will be cute. The last thing you want is to ask someone you are not that close with and have them make problems for you throughout the wedding process.
