Bridesmaid won’t respond...

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

I would talk to her about something other than your wedding. I try really hard to make sure I ask my bridal party about their lives and make time with them outside of this wedding ordeal. I certainly would be offended and probably inresponsive if I was going through a lot and someone’s sympathy for that was “what are your measurements”. Your wedding will never matter to anyone else the way it matters to you. You can’t expect people to care when they have their own trials going on.
with that being said- take her out. See if she wants to get coffee or something, be her friend first.

Oh, I talked to her quite a bit about the issue she is facing and totally understand her stress. I've tried texting her other than just the dress measurements and she just doesn't respond. I really think she doesn't want to be in the wedding and just can't say no. I'm going to try to see if she'll meet with me for coffee or lunch and go from there. Thanks!

What do you think the difference between a BM and an honorary BM is? Honestly, I've never heard of an honorary BM before and would be insulted if someone asked me to be one. Isn't being a BM already an honor?

They are like the bench warmers on a sports team. Only there in case one of the good players cant play.

Wow Caitlin just said she was going to try to meet with her to work it out. That should be the end of the story.

Can you see her face-to-face before then? She may not want to explain via text what's going on and/or that she doesn't want to be a part of the wedding right now. That way you can leave the conversation with a definite answer rather than it being up in the air.

Too bad it takes wedding wire so long to delete a discussion.

There isnt a single reason this should be deleted. It could help other brides in the future to see how rude it is to replace your BM.

View Quoted Comment Yup agreed. At best it could be locked

View Quoted Comment Yes, it should be if she desires it to be. You're quite capable of telling brides how rude you think it is without her. She's said at least twice she's going to follow the advice of meeting with her and or calling. You should let that be enough.

We have, people are asking about what a honorary bridesmaid is. You dont get to tell people how to post or what to comment on.

WW took away that capability (for OP to hide her post) for the reason i listed. This post could help someone out if they used the search function.

Well good luck! Let us know what happens!

Sorry i've continued this..but if she isn't answering your calls/text about anything wedding/non-wedding related are you sure she is okay, physically? Have you gone to her house, called from someone else's phone to check on her well being? Is she on social media? Now days there are so many ways to contact people but we choose to be less direct. Maybe her phone is turned off and she can't see the messages. You said she is struggling financially.
