Cheer up! It doesn't matter! Luckily, she can catch up once she gets there, and at least her exam isn't scheduled for a day later!
If it makes you feel any better, My cousin (and BM) is getting married next month, and I am to be a bridesmaid. I won't be able to attend her rehearsal either. I have to work that day, but there are only two maids, so it should be easy. LOL! I wasn't able to be at the rehearsal for my MOH when she got married either. But I was at the wedding. LOL
I'm sorry! That stinks. She'll be at the wedding though and that's really all that matters, right?
Our BEST MAN missed our rehearsal.
It all turned out good. It's not rocket science, they just stand and walk. So it'll be fine. At least she'll make it for dinner!
I know, thanks for reminding me to stop beeing silly, ladies. I just needed a kick in the pants. She gets in at 4pm, and dinner is not until 8, so barring any really bad delays we should be good!
It's no biggie, nice that she'll be there for dinner. I've been a MOH and missed the rehersal due to work/travel times...and everything worked out fine. Good luck with everything :)
It sucks that she can't be there, but I think it sounds like you've got a good plan in place. I know I had to miss the rehearsal when I was a BM once (for the same reason as your friend--exam!) and it worked out just fine. It helped that my friend was totally understanding, so I didn't feel too guilty.
I'm getting married on saturday and there's now a chance my cousin (who is one of my two moh's- no other bridal party) won't even make it to the wedding! It sucks if your bm can't make it to the rehearsal but just be grateful she'll be there for the ceremony. Cheer up, it will all be fine!!
We have a lot of people coming from out of town, and also have a lot of attendants. I know that not everyone will be able to make the rehearsal. If they can...great...if not, that's okay too. The only thing they're really going to need to know is who they're walking with...and everything else will figure itself out. Of course, I would love to have everyone there...but I understand that they have more going on in their lives than my wedding. They will all be at the wedding looking lovely and handsome, and that's what matters! Hope you feel better about this soon! I'm sure she wishes she could make it too :)
My MOH almost missed our rehersal due to an accident that pretty much closed the interstate leading to our venue. It was no big deal, my DOC was just going to give her the run down the next day if she had any questions. So it will be fine, although I'm sorry it's happening to you because I know it's a bit stressful.
thanks again ladies. socal, sadly the prof said no to that and the only option given was to not take the exam and have her final be 100% of her grade! obviously that's horrible and not a choice. it's going to be fine i think it's just that i was hoping for more girl time, you know?
Wow, meanie professor! I had to take like, 3 finals early and everyone has let me. Don't they get we have lives?! I mean, you're just so close. Oye. I think the majority of college students are beyond cheating anyways. boo.
That's okay, I had a bm miss the rehearsal too because of school. In the end, she was there for the wedding and that's what really mattered. All my MOH had to do was tell her when to walk during the processional and which groomsmen to walk off with and it was all good!
One of my BMs can't make my rehearsal either, of course you want everyone there, but I'm going to stick someone else in her spot to make sure the timing etc is right and then she can hop in on the day of. Que sera, sera!
update: our venue has now said that if we have our rehearsal on Friday it has to be at 2pm! taht would mean that our best man couldn't make it either!! I think we're moving it to day-of (saturday) at 10am. Has anyone else done this? Is it too weird considering we are having a "redhearsal dinner" on Friday night?
Wow - that's unfortunate you'd have to have it so early on the Friday! If it were me, I'd probably still keep it to Friday... my FI has missed two wedding rehearsals, one where he was BM. It's really not that big a deal unless you have a lot going on... and your officiant or other attendants can give them cues on anything they need to do.
I'd be worried that a rehearsal the day-of would only add stress... And will it fit in with any other appointments you'll have - hair, make-up etc.?
Oh my. that sucks that your venue is telling you that. I have to agree I think it might be a little too hectic to have your rehearsal the day of. What time does your wedding start?
i totally doesn't matter! i had to miss my cousins rehearsal (i was a bm) because i was accepting an award the same night, and it made absolutely no difference whats so ever! there will be somebody there to tell her when to walk down the aisle, and the rest is not brain surgery. i'm sure she would rather be there then taking an exam, but at least she'll be there for the rest of your events:)
Our ceremony isn't until 6:30, so I think there's time. Plan was to have breakfast, then do rehearsal now at 10:15, and then go to the hotel to get ready so we're ready for pictures by 4. I don't think it will be tooo crazy. I just hated the idea of having it so early on Friday!
It really won't matter on the day of. One of my bridesmaids ended up missing our rehearsal because she got stuck in traffic! It all worked out fine and she made it to the dinner - the fun part!

So, I'm sad. one of my bridesmaids can't make the rehearsal as she has an exam at 9am that morning. We have to have it at 3pm which is annoying, but necessary since there is an evening wedding at the venue.
I'm obviously not asking her to miss her exam, and I know there's nothing I can do, but there's no way for her to make it to the rehearsal since she has to fly from North Carolina to Cincinnati with an hours drive to the venue. BOO. I know, there's nothing I can do, and no ones fault, but I just needed to vent since I'm sad about the whole thing.
Cheer me up, ladies and tell me it doesn't matter!
