Maid of honor dropped out

I know I have plenty of time, but this is the second bridesmaid that has dropped on me and I feel like crap now that one of my best friends won't be standing next to me. How do I phrase even a response to her?

    Not to be rude but I feel like your MOH is using money as a cop out for not wanting to be in the wedding

    Always gotta remember: WWPP

    What would Pepeto post?

    ETA: The answer is almost always a nonsensical meme.

    Wow, first of all, @Jacks, you are saying everything I would have said, great responses.

    Bride and groom? How about just saying couple? Obviously there are MANY queer couples on this board, myself including. Seeing bride and groom written out, so heterosexist.

    The whole concept of "traditional" wear makes me want to vomit. Forcing people who aren't comfortable in dresses to wear one when it doesn't match their identity? Wrong on SO many levels. Be a friend, find out what is going on with your friend first. Just because they wore dresses in the past doesn't mean they will now.

    One of my best friends, who I have known for 25+ years is a bridesmaid in my wedding. She doesn't wear dresses. She was not included in her BROTHERS wedding as a bridesmaid because the brother's wife's mom had a problem with her not wearing a dress. It was horrible and so offensive. She is obviously wearing a suit in my wedding. And she is going to look freaking awesome. My FW is wearing a suit. And her two sisters are wearing a suit as well. It's going to rock.

    Let people wear the outfit that matches with their gender identity. Again, your friends are not props. Your "vision" will be fine. Having one person in a suit is NOT going to "ruin" your pictures. Be a good friend.

    @cassie first of all, this thread was not intended to address the issue with a BM that wasn't my MOH. Secondly, the BM issue was that she felt she couldn't be honest with me and tell me why. She just completely stated she would rather not be in the wedding if a dress was going to be something I would have asked her to buy. I was in talks with FH about what color suit she would wear. It wasn't that she would ruin the pictures, it was more that FH had never been exposed to gender identity issues or the such and I was unsure how to bridge the gap.

    Does it feel better getting that shot in, Kaitlyn? I see your next comment was flagged. Guess how many comments I've had flagged? That would be zero,
