bm may have to drop out - worried about her

Rebecca, on June 8, 2019 at 2:41 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 5
One of my BMs texted me today. She's just started yet another new job (after discrimination at the old one forced her to leave), after moving out to be with her partner in Ohio in November. She said she hadn't gotten the dress, yet, and she wasn't even sure she'd be able to make it out to NYC for the wedding.
I told her not to worry about anything, though I'd really like her to be here for the day. If I had the money, I'd offer to help, but I don't, and I hate that.

I'll be talking to her a little more over the next few days, but I don't want her to feel pushed. I'm just really, really worried about her.

Just needed to vent. We've been through a lot together (including surviving Hurricane Sandy in a flooded part of NJ), and *she's* been through a lot. I always have a low-level thrum of worry about her, anyway. Now it's kicked into a higher gear.

It's so frustrating to be far away and not have the money to help.

    You're being so helpful already by being supportive of her situation and wanting to help. Even if she can't come or be your bridesmaid, it seems your friendship would still be in tact and matter.

    I agree with Melle. All you can do is lend an ear. She will be grateful for that.

    Awe you are a good friend. Just continue to make sure she is ok. Let her know she comes before the wedding. Like you have been. Don’t worry about uneven bridal party if you are. A lot of people have that.

    You're being very considerate towards your friend! Like PPs said, continue being a friend first, bride second. You have such a big heart!

    I'm sorry to hear that for you and your friend. Hopefully she can make it. It's so nice you are close in spirit.
