Wedding party break up

Biaani, on June 29, 2020 at 9:23 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9

HELPPPP


sooo my FH's brother will be his best man. He's been dating his gf for 2 1/2 years. I wanted his gf to be my bridesmaid partially because we are friends and partially because they are a couple.


Come to find out they broke up during quarantine. Now I don't know what to do!


I spoke with him and he said I could still ask her because they are amicable. I'm just scared that'll change in the next 11 months.


I would actually be ok if she wasn't in the bridal party but I DO NOT want to hurt her feelings since basically she's been part of the family for the last 2 years.


what to do what to do . .

    You should have someone in your bridal party because they're one of your nearest and dearest friends, not because of their relationship to anyone else. I feel like if you're considering not having her in your wedding because she broke up with her SO, you probably aren't close enough to ask her in the first place.

    I agree with Caytlyn, pick people you couldn’t imagine getting married without. I get that she’s been part of the family the last two years, but they broke up so it’s not like she’s part of the family going forward. They may be amicable, but unless they reconcile they’re both eventually going to move on. My ex and I broke up amicably, but despite being part of his family for three years I didn’t talk to any of them afterwards and I think it would have been awkward if I had.

    I agree with the others. Eleven months is a long ways away so the chances are that they won't have anything to do with no another by that time. I think it would make things really awkward for her to be in your wedding with her ex. I would I only iick those closest to you to be in your wedding.

    I mean i don't see the harm in still asking her because you are friends with her and she can say no, if anything

    Only if you two were and STILL are very close. It doesn't seem that you two are *that* close since you just found out they broke up so I probably would just nix her in the wedding party and maybe just invite her to the wedding instead. It's okay to have an uneven number for the bridal party.

    I agree with others, I wouldn’t ask her if you are second guessing it. Better to avoid a potential fallout over this next year.
