The best man at our wedding is actually my fiance's best friend, and is female. When we first got engaged, he established with her that she'd be wearing a suit, and that's actually what she would prefer to wear, so it seemed like no big deal.
Then fast forward to about a week ago. We're five months away from our wedding, so the guys are starting to think about ordering their tuxes soon to rent. We have a $40 off coupon on all tux orders because I went to a bridal show last weekend to get it. But even with this coupon, the best maid is now saying that she refuses to pay for her attire.
My fiance and I established with our attendants that they'd be looking after their own attire costs, so this sort of throws us in a bit of a predicament.
What can we do?
We don't really want to have to kick her out of the wedding, as that's a big no no unless we want a friendship to end (and we don't, even if she can be difficult). But my fiance's money is tied up with other wedding costs so he can't really cover for her tux either. Unfortunately this woman isn't very open to talking things over that aren't really going her way. So we're at a standstill of what to do here. Any suggestions?
Married as of June 22, 2013!!!
