So I'm getting married one week from tomorrow, and my best friend is supposed to officiate. However, she just called me to let me know her grandmother is very sick, and there is a chance she may not be able to make it to the wedding.
Obviously I completely understand, but now I'm not exactly sure what to do. We need to come up with a backup plan in case she's not there to officiate, but I'm not really sure who to ask. It's only our family and a couple of friends in attendance, and neither of the friends who will be there are much on public speaking. My BFF, her husband, me, and my husband all met working at summer camp together, so that's partially why we wanted her to officiate. Everyone else is very much either his side or my side, not any mutual overlap.
She also wrote the script already, so someone else could just read it. But will that sound weird? Gah, I don't know what to do. Hopefully she will be able to attend, but I want a solid Plan B in place.
Another friend had to bow out for health reasons, and two of my husband's friends also can't come last minute for various reasons...trying not to feel sorry for ourselves but disappointed/stressed just the same. What do you guys think?
