Help! bridesmaids dropping like flies!

That's ok right to have two ? I mean two is fine you don't have to replace the ones that dropped out.

I’m sorry to hear that you are losing two BM’s but you still have two more. Go with what you have and it will be fine.

I'm sorry your bridesmaids won't be able to make it now. You're going to have a great day no matter what!

Bright side: the show will still go on without bridesmaids. Having your FH there is most important.

Unfortunately life still goes on even when we’re planning weddings. I’m not sure of any surgery that’s done over a weekend, but if your BM needs to take care of her husband, you can’t argue with that. And dying grandmother trumps wedding. I feel awful for all of you, but I promise your wedding will still be amazing. You didn’t say how far out your wedding is, but medical situations can change, such as surgery dates, so just go with the flow. Good luck and congrats!

It's going to be okay! Life happens, so you've got to keep moving forward

And... Another one bites the dust. So now I am down to just my maid of honor. I’m getting really upset with this, because it’s going to look stupid with only one person. I’m almost teady to say screw the bridesmaids, But at the same time, I feel kind of bad because I really don’t have any more friends to rely on.

And honestly, I feel like I am about to cry. I already bought all the gifts ahead of time, and now I’m ready to just say forget the whole thing. I don’t have any siblings to rely on, and I don’t have anybody else who can help out. Right now, I’m starting to feel like I wasted my money on those gifts. I’m royally PO’d

I'm sorry that you lost your BMs. It really sucks. Maybe you can schedule a day to go out with them, still, and have the bachelorette party anyways. You could get family to fill in, or just have your MOH. Trust me, nobody is going to be thinking that it looks stupid. Remember why your bridesmaids are there in the first place - to celebrate with you, help you get ready, to sign your marriage certificate as witnesses (your MOH), and run errands & interference on your wedding day so that you can just enjoy it. Your MOH can and should still be there for you, with or without the others because she is important to you and will make you feel loved.

Aww. I feel for you, there. I had a really bad falling out with all of my friends a couple of years ago (like so bad I can't even talk about it), so I have felt really bad about even finding bridesmaids. It is the worst feeling in the world, and it does make you feel really unloved. But, the point is that you do have women in your life who love you - you might just need to fight yourself to see the women that you weren't considering before. For me, I am asking all of my sisters, my FH's little cousin, my best male friend, and an awkward friend that is really the only female friend that I have left. While it's true that I dreamed of having close friends that would be there for me at my wedding, you know what? Having sisters that love me, a new family that loves me, a long-term friend, and a sort-of friend is good enough. Really, any one or two of those people is good enough, because getting married is first and foremost about my FH and me, and second about starting a little baby family with the support of the people who love us and will always be there for us. And, what's more, it seems like you do have friends who like you - maybe they just have more going on. Or maybe it doesn't matter, and they should be there for you. Either way, it is your call. But it is also your call whether to be sad about it, or to do the things you have always dreamed of doing with whoever is willing to go along for the ride. Just keep in mind that YOU being sad about it will not get back at THEM or make THEM feel bad about it. All it will do is cost you a happy memory.

Sorry, /rant. I am really big about cutting negative people out of your life and fighting to include the positive people ever since some horrible things happened in the past. I really hope you find peace about it all!
