down 2 bridesmaids :(

Hi All -I usually don't like to vent on here but its needed today!  I'll try to keep it short...My sister and I do not have the best relationship but its tolerable.  She is a bridesmaid in the wedding and for various reasons she has pulled out of the wedding 5 times (reasons have varied to the fact that she isn't the maid of honor, she thinks I should include her new husband in the ceremony, she doesn't like my seating arrangements, etc).  I also found out today that my best friend (also a bridesmaid) is pregnant - I'm extremely happy for her since she has been trying for 2 years and it finally happened.  Her due date...the day of the wedding.  She called today to say she can't be in it and most likely will not be able to attend depending on when the baby comes.  I'm trying to not be upset.  I am so happy for her that she is finally pregnant and it would be great if she could be in it but what I'm really upset about is that she won't even be able to come at all.  The sister situation is just annoying because she has pulled out numerous times and I'm sure in another month she'll say she's back in with certain conditions.  I should have listened when people said it's better off to run away and get married!Thanks for listening!

    It understandable for you to be upset about your BF not being able to be in the wedding let alone not being able to attend at all. I would be too. Unless she has to take a plane ride, and goes into labour the same day ...I'm sure she'll be there. You kniw what they say two weekd before and two weeks after. Lets think positive. As for your sister...how inconsiderate??? If it were me I would cut her altogether..but that's me. Think positive and get back to happy planning

    I hear you. Two of my bms are pregnant. They will still both be in the wedding, but they won't be able to drink and probably won't feel that comfortable dancing. Like you, I'm happy for them, but kind of bummed at the timing. Hang in there! Glad you could vent.

    Thanks for listening! I will think positively and hope she can at least make it to the ceremony. Thank you girls - I feel a little better!

    I also had a BM decide to leave the party due to being pregnant.  She is due basically around our wedding date too.  I feel you...its disappointing.  Sorry to hear about the issues with your sister, but, as cliche as this may sound...its your wedding and it sounds like she needs to chill out.

    It's pretty sad that my sister has to act that way and I did what ever she wanted for her 1st and 2nd wedding!  She just wants to be in control and thinks that i'm going to cave in but I'm not.  Why do weddings bring out the crazy in people?!  hahaI told my BF that is the baby is born on my wedding day all she has to do to make it up to me is name it after me. :)  haha
