Replacing a bridesmaid(s)

It's not up to us or you to decide what is a good enough reason for her to drop out of the wedding. I have a feeling that this is about more than you just not liking her boyfriend. Was there some kind of argument? Why did the second BM drop out of the wedding?

You don't need to replace them. You simply have two less bridesmaids now. You can't just replace your friends.

I'm all for doing whatever you want ... but I'm not sure what the question is? Is this a rant? Are you looking for someone to replace your BMs? Are you asking if you should replace your BMs? How does the second BM fit in this?

Not trying to be mean, just want clarification

I wouldnt replace them, no matter why they are no longer in your bridal party, you can have uneven sides.

In my opinion you can do whatever you want it’s your wedding. But you possibly could hurt her feelings & could ruin the friendship that you guys have. If you decide to forgo a MOH I personally would not get a “replacement”. Just don’t have one at all. You could try talking to her also.

My niece fine with being in the wedding until last night

View Quoted Comment The second br

The second bridesmaids is just focusing on school and other things that's why I am replacing her

View Quoted Comment Youre replacing a bridesmaid because shes focusing on her future?

Yikes. Don’t replace either of them. If they choose not to be in your wedding that’s one thing, but telling them they can’t be after asking them to be and replacing them is another. That’s a friendship ending move.

I’m stuck on the fact that you’re upset someone that is supposed to be your nearest and dearest is focusing on their future. You should want the best for that person.

View Quoted Comment There's more to the situation I just not going to get into about it I just wanted some advice and all I am getting is negativity about the situation

You’re getting negativity because kicking people out of your wedding is rude and friendship/relationship ending. Replacing them? Even worse.

View Quoted Comment I’m sorry, what? What is she supposed to do, drop out of school to be in your wedding?

First of all I never told anybody they had to drop out of school to be in my wedding and second of all my niece is choosing her boyfriend over her family and third of all there's a lot more to the situation that I don't have to explain to y'all

Don't replace them, it's a rude and tacky thing to do and diminishes the important relationships in your life. If people you've chosen to be in your bridal party have to step down for any reason, you simply have 2 less people beside you on your wedding day.

View Quoted Comment But if you don’t explain the situation don’t expect people to sympathize with you. I don’t know how old your niece is, but almost all the people I’ve ever been friends with have put their SOs over their family. That’s just part of life. It sounds like you’re just mad they aren’t fawning over you during your engagement.

View Quoted Comment Yes that would make me too short of a girl's which means I have five groomsmen or two of my groomsmen would not have no one to walk down the aisle when I'm not shortened in my groomsmen

Yep. And that happens all the time.

Wouldn't you rather have an uneven bridal party than admit that people are 'second-string' party material?

Having a wedding party is about honoring the most important people in your life. It's not about pictures or walking together or any of that crap. You supposedly picked the most important people already, so if they can't all do it, you have an uneven bridal party.
