wedding party!!

One of my groomsmen decided to just drop out of the wedding today because he can't afford the tux. I just happen to be visiting and he told me. He hasn't even told FI yet. I've already gave the DJ and DOC the lineup for the wedding and we had one more girl than boy so we decided to make one GM have 2 girls...now it's just gonna look weird. Plus, I don't understand how he can't borrow the $130 from family or something...I know he's heading to med school and it's expensive but really? and you tell me this w/ 100 days left..?

AND my MOH was supposed to talk to all the BMs about when we could have my Bach party, and 2 weeks later, I finally asked her about it and she said "I never told her what date was good" even though I soooooo did. She has a really bad habit of doing this when she's not listening (which is often lately). It's one thing to not listen, but don't blame me for not saying something, which makes it even more obvious that she wasn't listening...oh well. not even mad. Just realizing how nutty all the BP stuff is!

    Does it suck that he dropped out?  Yep, sure does.  But really?  If $130 isn't that much money, why don't you pay for it?  I'm sorry but expecting someone to borrow money from their family to pay for their tux in someone else's wedding seems a little ridiculous to me.  Also, I think that over 3 months notice isn't that horrible.  Like I said, I agree it's a shitty situation that he said yes before and is now dropping out, but you still have plenty of time to figure something else out.  I'm sure you're DOC might have some ideas for how to arrange the wedding party because it's so common to have uneven sides these days.

    Why don't you just pay for it for him?  In the scheme of what you pay for in a wedding, 130 dollars isn't that much to have someone important to you in the wedding.  If one of my bridesmaids said that, I would automatically pay for it for them.

    We actually did pay for our best man's tux because we knew it would be really hard for him to afford it.

    I paid for one of my BM's dresses because I knew it was a hardship for her. I of course wouldn't tell other BM's about this...but her friendship and being a part of the wedding was more important to me than the money.

    I covered the cost of the flower girl (my niece) outfit since my brother was in the wedding and I knew it would be a lot for him to cover both his tux and her dress/shoes etc

    I also paid for all the bridesmaid dresses up front when I ordered them and asked them to pay me back when they could. One BM wasn't in a very good position financially, so I told her not to worry about paying me back.  Having her in the wedding without making her borrow money or put her in a tough money situation was worth the $125 dollars.
