She couldn't get on a plane? Is she ill or something? I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry to hear that! But you are handling it in the right way, focus on the part of the day that matters - you marrying your FI!
that sucks but it sounds like you're just letting it go. It's probably for the best. I know people that would do that - have a panic attack or forget to take off work or something. Maybe if you find out its a good reason you could give her some of the gifts or work with her to return some of the items. Maybe you could give some of the gifts to someone else - an aunt that helped or the officiant's wife or secretary or someone.
Great attitude! You could always save her gifts for birthday presents or something. We had some no shows too at the wedding and it sucks about having to pay, but it's just something that happens and you have to deal with it.
Hugs. I'm sorry. That would make me so sad. Enjoy your wedding, though! It sounds like you have the right attitude
You really are looking at this the right way. It's incredibly disappointing, and you have every right to be ridiculously angry at her, but in the end, you're marrying your FI, and that's what matters!
Good luck this weekend and congratulations!
Thanks Ladies! I seriously feel releived. She is the kind of person who would try to make my wedding day about her. I seriously consider this a blessing in discuise, I knew that we would have a big blow up in the future and if she was around then she would be in all my wedding pics. All I know is that I will have all my best friends with me on Saturday.
The worst part is I bent over backwards to be at her wedding last year. But oh well.
You will be happy to be surrounded by your girls who love you and want to be there for you. It's good to move on now. Glad you're in a good place. Get ready for a wonderful weekend!!!
Wow, kudos for you for handling this so well. I am wondering what "couldn't get on a plane" means though...
Like most of my bridesmaids, she lives out of the country. She said that work wouldn't let her go and she would have gotten fired if she left. Which is super convenient because she was in Corsica the last two weeks, St. Tropez the two weeks before that and in Tuscany before that. She couldn't give up one of her vacations to come to my wedding...
It was night and day where our friendship stood.
honestly I would consider it a blessing in disguise. It sucks, and you wasted some money, but hopefully your day will just go off without a hitch and you wont even realize shes gone.
I am so sorry that happened, that last minute is just a little crazy.
@Ms. Caniche: Your friend sounds like some people I know...could we be running in the same circles? ;) It certainly is a blessing in disguise, I'm glad you're looking at it that way. Your wedding is going to be beautiful and wonderful- Just what you want it to be. She'll regret not coming someday.
And P.S. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Make sure you post pics when you can! :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
One of my bridesmaids dropped out. I found out this morning. She sent me a long email as to why she couldn't get on a plane but in the end it is all bull shit. I am actually surprisingly calm. Something was going to go wrong and I think that this one is big enough so that the rest of my wedding should go off without a hitch.
I am mostly pissed about the $200 per person it cost to have her and her husband at my wedding that is already paid. The custom robes and other things that I bought for her.
But at this point I just don't care. All I want to do is get married to my FI.
