Back in the beginning of July I asked my one friend if she and her daughter would consider being a bridesmaid in our wedding. Not to pressure her, I told her she could have some time to think about it because I knew money was tight for her. I have talked to her a couple of times since then but havent mentioned the wedding because I didnt want her to feel pressured. Its now August and I still havent heard from her. I pretty much assume that the answer is no. My wedding is in January so I have to get a new bridesmaid soon.I plan on asking my cousin to be in my wedding now as her replacement but I need to know how to pretty much tell my friend that I can't wait for her answer anymore. I need to move on and ask another person. I dont want to ask my cousin until I tell her. I dont want to seem rude. I want nicely say that she doesnt have to worry about being a bridesmaid. Any suggestions.
