I haven't made anyone in the wedding party official yet, but I have two really close friends that I want to be in the party. One the maid of honor and the other a bridesmaid, but the problem is they don't get along. . . At all. But recently I've brought it up to both of them nonchalantly about the other one being a part of the day. Long story short, they both said that they wouldn't be there of the other one was. Both of these ladies mean a lot to me and I want them both there. I've been going back and forth about both of them being in it or neither of them. It's been really rough. My FH is helpful, but doesn't really understand. I need some outside opinions. What do you all think?

    If they can't be adults, then they can attend as guests, IMO! They should be more than willing to work it out with each other for a total of what, a couple days when you look at the grand scheme of things? You're not trying to force them to become BFFs, just want them to be cordial and if they have any respect for you at all, they'll put their personal shit aside and make it work for a day or 2 while you have the most important and fun day of your life. F__ks to give are on backorder and YOU just ran out! You are not responsible for their bullshit!

    Sorry but they need to grow up.. This isn't about their differences, this is about being there for you on your special day. If they can't grow up, they can be guests.

    They should want to br there for you and it isnt their choice. They are putting their problems before being there for you on one of the most important days of your life. I had a BM that said one of the other BM's shouldn't be in the wedding. I say down with her, the one complaining was a friend from college the other was a friend from high school. I told the one complaining it isn't her choice and even though me and the other girl had problems in the last she has still stood by me and she is in the wedding.
