   I know what you are going through. One of my bridemaids has backed out for financial reason. She recently lost her job and cannot afford to be in the wedding. I totally understand. When I started planning my wedding party I had 1 matron of honor - cousin 1 maid of honor - (former) best friend 4 bridesmaids - 2 cousins,…

   ok number 1 it's your wedding. You plan it as you see fit. No one elses opinion should really matter. Number two it is completely ok to replace members of your bridal party. If they backed out thats on them. You have a role that needs to be filled and you should have your wedding the way you want it. I just had to replace…

   1 month is kind of close to the wedding, but, if you just recently became close, I don't see a problem with approaching her with the idea. If she feels it would be awkward, no harm, but she may be delighted to be invited, especially if her husband is already in the WP. I also had a once close friend drop out of my wedding,…

   I have had the unfortunate experience of a long time friend pull out from being a bridesmaid and even attending our wedding due to personal reasons. It's been a hard thing to go through but, I realize that what is important is the many family and friends who do want to be a part of our wedding. That being said is it…

   I can feel your pain! My Maid of Honor stepped down 2 1/2 months before my wedding and in doing so created a whole series of events. I disagree with most of the other girls though; if this other girl is one of your friends whom you have just gotten closer to more recently. I see no problem including her. It could be a bit…

   My wedding is May 1st and the same exact thing happened to me last week. My matron of honor informed me that she was not going to be able to fulfill her duties. You would think that these girls could suck it up for one day. I did ask someone to fill in for her. My cousin who I had been very close to growing up had…

   I had this happen to me 3 weeks ago, but my wedding is in June. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking someone else. I asked a co-worker of mine to be in it. I got engaged in september and I am a 1st year teacher. I didn't even know her until August, and didn't know her well enough to ask her to be in it in…

   No, do not ask a "replacement" now. You'll be fine with uneven sides - the world will not come crashing down and your marriage will still be 100% valid. Promise.

    When our (now very very good) friends got married several years ago, I had only known them for less than a year. Jennifer's MOH was dopey and somehow had the date wrong and backed out about a month before the wedding. This was someone she had been best friends with since childhood, but the girl now lived in another state.…
