    Yes, so if she jumps off the cliff you will too, just because she didn't tell you you are wrong? Okay.

    You should already know what your going to say to her. You are going to tell her the truth in saying, "hey, you aren't interested in my wedding to pick a dress, so I'm kicking you out and adding my cousin. Hope you can understand."

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: How do I kick my bridesmaid out of the wedding party? : Yet you support the decision to boot a bridesmaid because its 5 months out and she hasn't ordered a dress that takes 8 weeks? Makes sense.
    Posted by Blueyed228[/QUOTE]

    eh, this isn't my fight..... just lay off the girl. I just cannot understand the rudeness on this board. There are ways of replying to people without being mean.

    For example "honey, I think you might be over reacting  a little bit, why not talk to the friend before making any rash decisions"

    no you all jump in to call her names and tell her she is being a selfish little brat. Trust me I would be on the defense too. Kindness please, isn't kindness what you teach your kids? Hypocrites!

    If X dress has to be ordered by x time and x time arrives and x dress isnt ordered what the hell do i do for the replacement? Yeah yeah I don't have to have one..but I'd like to. And I think you are still missing the part where she has to FLY 700 miles to get back to Georgia just for the wedding.  I really dont see this happening. I guess am telling her i just want her to go have fun on her apprenticeship trip and to not worry about this stuff.  Then no one has to worry about putting anything before anything.

    Then you don't have a replacement, oh well.
    It sounds like you don't want her as a BM, if thats the case, then find. But realize you will lose a friend in the process.

    But you said in your OP that <em>she</em> said she'd be happy to come down. Perhaps you should talk to her about everything and see where she stands. It sounds right now like you are making decisions for her without talking to her.

    OP, could this be your MOH's subtle way of working herself out of the wedding party? Like she doesn't want to tell you, so she's procrastinating? I could see why she wants out.

    I understand completely what you are saying here.... if he cannot commit to picking out a dress, who is to say she will show up at the wedding?
  • edited December 2011
    I feel that I have been considerate letting her get pretty much whatever dress she likes and giving her all this time to do so, but after asking a few times and talking about it a few times with nothing to show for it I feel like its her turn to be considerate and be fine with stepping down and just going on her trip.

    The fact that she is flying out for your wedding should show you her commitment to you.

    If she doesnt get the dress, you dont need a replacement.  Thats just ridiculous.  You choose your WP because they are your closest friends and you want to honor them by having them stand with you.

    No one wants to be a B-listed BM.

    Even if she doesnt get the dress in time, is it REALLY that big of a deal?

    My best friend is going through a horrible divorce and is the only BM who has not ordered her dress yet.  I could give a crap about it.  As long as she is ok is all that matters to me.  Even if she doesnt get the dress, she will still be up there with me.  I dont care if it is in sweat pants and a t-shirt.  She is my friend and that trumps a stupid dress.

    THAT is the point people are trying to make to you.  Friendship should be more important than a dress.

    procrastinating on a dress is a grand leap to not flying 700 miles to the damn wedding.

    here's your answer:
    there is no decent way to remove her from the bridal party.  you will lose your friendship if you kick her out.

    but if it makes you feel better to kick her out, by all means, go for it.  let us know how it turns out.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: How do I kick my bridesmaid out of the wedding party? : All I know is - I have a bridesmaid who won't be able to come and pick out her dress because of circumstances and I love her more than the stupid dress. If she shows up in jeans and a t-shirt I don't care, because she's someone I am close to, who I want in my wedding because of the great person she is and how much she means to me. I didn't choose her because I thought she could be a work horse, or because she'd fit my schedule. So maybe I'm being what I am - a girl - but after I'm married? I will retain the close bond I have with the people in my wedding. Because a wedding is a party, in case you hadn't noticed. A marriage - which is only about you and the groom - is what you need to be focused on.
    Posted by Butter Cookie[/QUOTE]

    Everyone is saying that all a BM is required to do is show up in the dress and stand up there on the alter.  This BM doesn't have a dress.  I doubt anyone would allow a bm to stand up there in a t shirt and jeans.  I am really sure you would actually do that.

    Good riddance, are we still discussing this. You clearly, really don't want her as a BM. Fine, fire her,  ruin a friendship, hire a replacement, and go on looking like a brat.

    There just isn't room for someone causing me stress instead of helping fight it.  She may seem to want to be in it but then again seems like she doesn't want to be put out with the details..the one small detail of picking a dress..

    Since you are jumping into the discussion, I think you are already in it. Specially when you include kicking out people in your wedding like its a regular thing to do. <div>
    </div><div>A brat and bridezilla is what I interrupt her in being with her actions. I didn't attack her by saying loser, b****, or anything demeaning. It's a message board, people are tough cookies here and will tell it like it is. Most the time girls say no and explain, but when the OPing starts attacking calling the people names cause she's not getting the answers and validation she wants people will not back down. </div>

    Yes, but then you tell her you need her to have her dress by X. If she doesn't have it then that becomes her problem. You don't fire and replace her.

    Exactly you know that chic isn't going to let her BM actually wear jeans and a t shirt.... I mean seriously women. I think you all argue and berate people because you're bored or something. Geez, your advice to her might be right but try so tact and decency in your responses. Calling her stupid isn't going to make anyone listen!

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: How do I kick my bridesmaid out of the wedding party? : Oh how original.... I mean that is all you can come up with? No, she isn't going to jump off a bridge because I told her too. I will never understand that stupid saying. It doesn't even compare!! You just sound like an idiot!

    Tell her she has to order a dress by a certain date. If she doesn't order it, it will be very clear that she doesn't want to be in your wedding. Which won't be too much of a shocker, considering how BSC you are. Just because people are not agreeing with you, it does not mean they are not giving you advice. You just don't like the (very good) advice you are getting (except from the one person who is just a bad a friend to her MOH as you are being to your BM).

    [QUOTE]i am fairly certain if you wanted her to jump of a bridge, you wouldn't tell her to do so.  you would just push her.

    Actually, she could wear nipple tassles and a thong and I would not care.

    Dont attempt to assume how I will or will not treat my BFF of 15 years.
