Bridal party backing out at the last minute!?!?

Didnt happen last minute, and the reason behind it was very understandable, but FH's friend had to back out because he wasnt sure if he'd have drill that weekend or not. so FH chose another friend who agreed, who then backed out because he was asked to be in his cousin's wedding the same day. so the third guy for the same position has his tux paid for and has full intention of being there, but FH told me today his appendix ruptured and had emergency surgery last night for it...uhhh, awesome, ive had my gall bladder removed and ive heard the surgeries are comparable and i was definitely not 100% for a good month or two, so hopefully he can still attend.

but i feel for you..ive heard of this happening a lot. i guess i dont understand how people can agree to something then honestly wait so long to notify you they arent going to fulfill it...i'm sure he knew the cost of the tux months ago when your FH asked him to be a GM? he couldnt save up if he had to? gosh. like how would you feel if it was your wedding. i swear people dont understand how stressful this is until theyve gone thru it. thankfully you're able to find someone to fill in!

This happened in the wedding I was in this past spring. A 2 BMs & GM dropped out 3 weeks before the wedding due to funds. Neither BM had her dress. The GM was arrested

OMGOSH! I'm so glad I'm not the only one to go through this - but what an awful experience! And you're right.... people don't know how stressful this is until they go through it! and... at least my GM wasn't arrested! Or have to have major surgery! How awful!

For my sister's wedding my other sister dropped out, can't remember how long before(issues with her husband being a controlling ass) so they went with the two guys walking together. The day of her wedding her fbil and fsil were supposed to be greaters, there kids were acting up so my bf and i ended up doing it.

I'm in your opposite position, I'm hoping one BM WOULD back out! :/

Sorry that it happen to you because unfortunately it happen to me 3days ago even though my wedding is in October 18,2014.

My cousin text me saying she could not be a bridesmaid anymore because she wanted to be the maid of honor & that she was hurt that I didnt ask her to be the maid of honor and included her in my wedding decisions. I told her to think about it and I wanted her to be one of my bridesmaids and to let me know if she changes her mind. Im just hurt and bother but I also told her whatever her decision is I understand. I never thought it would happen to me.

Im so sad that she decided not to be part of my wedding.

The Thursday prior to the wedding we "lost" a flower-girl (my niece) to some horrendous, highly contagious virus. Luckily my brother (a GM) made it but his daughter and wife had to stay in CA (a plane ride away.) I was disappointed... but what can you do?

And thank the Lord they got sick BEFORE they got on a plane. Can you imagine what could have happened with a germ infested darling running around the hotel, hugging all the relatives, including the 90+ year old grammies? Yep. We dodged a bullet.

@jesse's boo, I feel the same way!!
