    Irritated beyond words FSIL backed out because of financial reasons and aslo will not be at the wedding also FI nephew will not be able to be in the wedding either! she knew since the beginning where it was going to be so she shouldnt have accepted the role of BM!! so 2 down! I dont know if I should add because I really wanted 3 but I dont want to have just anyone in my wedding. she is sooooo on my sh* t list!

    Is your wedding destination? Why will she not be able to attend at all?

    Aww...Sorry you have been put in this situation. Are you having a DW? Maybe FSIL really just doesn't have the money to do a DW. This economy is tough and she may have been planning on receiving an extra source of income that hasn't come through (i.e.taxes). Additionally, its good that she has told you now since you are still a few months out (so its not exactly last minute). I don't think you necessarily have to fill her "spot". Just keep who you already have!

    I agree, right now, money is hard on anyone. She may have been really excited and thought she'd be able to scrounge the money together but now she can't. Who knows, maybe a medical bill or something in the house broke, etc... there's so many things that can take our "few pennies" leftover.

    I would be supportive and tell her you really regret she can't come but that you understand. I wouldn't put her on a "$HI@ List."

    Im sorry to hear that.  I do understand how she wouldnt be able to make it because of finances though.  Would your future in laws be able to help her out or would you and your FI if you really want her they?  Maybe you can offer to chip in on the cost of the flight and see if she can share a room with other family members that are going.

    If you have another good friend you would like to be a part of your wedding, its not too late to ask but Id only do that if there were someone you really want, not just to fill a spot.

    @KLP2010 I know what her financial situation is its not really a somber story at all she just spread her self too thin money wise shes taking a trip right before our weddind as I knew before I asked her to be in it.

    @naangel55 I doubt her parents would help and I did want her there but I dont think bad enough to help accommodate her when I have my plate full as is. I feel if she really wanted to be there she would have asked FBIL who is also in the wedding (FI brother) to split the cost of a room. I understand not filling the spot thats what i did not want to do but now none from my FI's family is on my side (BM) and I dont want them to fell as though im asking because one is gone.

    that's a shame. will anyone in the family pay for her? it seems if it's that important to you, you might be able to find funding?

    sorry to hear about this. what a bummer! hope it works out.

    @kcasam: Thank you it is a bummer I think what gets me too is she did not tell me but called my FI yes i know its her brother but I would have felt better if she would have told me it just feels like it was a "can you relay the message" kinda thing.
