GM MIA

We still haven't heard anything from the GM that bailed on the FIs bachelor party! I'm a little worried. I checked with Mens Warehouse and he never ordered a tux. He hasn't returned anyone's calls or texts....WTF? He lives in Ocean Shores and we don't know any of his friends that live there so we can't call and ask. I really want to know what's going on with him!

We are planning for 2 girls to walk with 1 guy for the ceremony. It will work just fine!

    it will work just fine, but that's really scary to have one of your friends be really MIA...any family or anything you can call? try not to stress too much since it is your wedding, but keep 1% of your brain on making sure he is safe.

    Assign someone from the wedding party (sounds like the other groomsmen know him?) to harness the power of the internet to find out some more information - to see if you can find some of his Ocean Shores friends, facebook activity, his family, etc. There's some information available that is spooky and makes me uncomfortable (there are some places where you can search on your name and it will spit out the names of your parents, siblings, places you've lived, etc.) but, this may be one time it can be used for good. Or let us know his name and we can look for some contact information? Have you tried his work? (or did you say he was unemployed?)

    And finally, if you totally run out of options, I don't think the Ocean Shores police force is constantly busy. If you know his address (or they should be able to get it from his DL records), you could always just request they go do a welfare check.

    Well we don't know any of his family or friends down there. He doesn't have internet, so FB or Myspace is a no go. I don't know where he works, its a bar down there I think.  I will ask FI if he can think of anyone to call.

    I would call the Ocean Shores police and ask them to do a welfare check. Explain that your friend is supposed to be in your wedding, but he missed some events he previously was expecting to attend, and that is out of character for him.

    It may also just be that he doesn't want to or can't come and doesn't want to tell you.  FI's sister was all about the wedding but I think she can't afford a plane ticket and rather than say that, she has suddenly dropped off the face of the world...she doesn't return calls, texts or emails.  But, we know she's alive and well.

    I honestly would just concentrate on the wedding. Sounds to me like he doesn't want to be involved and is just blowing you guys off. Is your FI concerned? Is there a reason to be concerned? Like drug problem, history of things like this, otherwise, that's what I would assume. If you don't hear from him after the wedding, or just want to make sure he's fine then, go for it. But I think you'll be wasting your own time trying to track him down with 3 days before your wedding. And I think calling the police would be a little extreme before calling his family. My opinion. Hope it all works out for ya!

    But if this guy was enough of a friend to ask to be a groomsman... I would take this seriously. If it turns out that he's okay, yeah, I'd be pissed that I spent all of this time and emotional energy on it but, if it turns out that something is wrong and I didn't concern myself because my wedding was in three days, I wouldn't be happy with myself.

    Send a text (harder to ignore) and just say, "We're not mad. Just getting really worried. Please let us know you're okay. If we don't hear from you tonight, calling cops for welfare check. Sincerely really worried!"

    And, like I said, it sounds like some of the other groomsmen are friends of his? This is a perfect task to set a groomsman on.
