No issues in my opinion. I just sad for your FI.
I think it's great that you're being so relaxed! You're absolutely right ... the pics will be fine and there's no need to make a big thing about it. Things will always come up that may alter your original plan ... this is the best way to handle it! I admire you for that! :)
It's definitely a huge bummer but I think you have a great attitude about it. I don't think there's a need to replace him and everything should go on as planned, no stress! Good for you for being so chill :)
Like three weeks ago one of my bridesmaids told me she didn't care about my wedding (the convo was longer but that was the main point) and I haven't talked to her since ...and we've been friends for 14 years. I seriously don't give a shit. Not invited! bring on the next issue!
That sucks, but you have a really great attitude about it. Not too relaxed at all. I'm sure some brides would have a meltdown.
Nope, I think it's great you're so relaxed about it! I don't think it'll look weird at all :)
Na, thats no big deal at all. Im just glad you arent FREAKING out over it, youre too cool for that =o)
I just don't think there's anything you can do about it and you do realize that, underneath it all. I think it sucsk more for your FI and his friend than it does for you..you're rolling with the punches.
BTW, what are "mandatory" teaching days? What if he woke up with the flu? Not that he coudl do that now...but seriously?!
Thanks, ladies. I just figure, what can we do now? I'm sad for FI (obvs) but there's literally nothing this guy can do and he feels awful. No reason to feel bad, life happens and my wedding is not the biggest event to ever occur ;o)
We have sisters in the wedding (my cousins) so it would actually be sort of cute to have one guy walk them together.
@EJS: Since teachers get all the school holidays and summers off, they are not really supposed to take personal days EVER. But then there are certain days (in this case it's the last day of school, which they moved from the original date) that it's not an option to take a personal day...no exceptions. We planned the wedding based on FI's private school schedule, which is where GM was working at the time. (a few of his other GMs work there too)
Interesting. I didn't know that about teachers. What a bummers. But hey, he can come AFTER school gets out, right? He'll make it to the reception? Your FI can grab some pictures with him then since he's a good friend. Maybe "re do" one or two group photos real quick, even if he's just in a suit
@EJS: I'm not sure. He could probably take a flight when he gets out of work and we will definitely get him in some pics :o)
That is upsetting, but you are right to not be concerned about the uneven parties. I have 5 BM's and FI has 7 GM and is thinking about asking another! Right now the plan is for two ladies to each walk with 2 GM. I also shared a GM with my sister for our other sisters wedding. I think logistically it's ideal for them to be even, but life doesn't always work that way and it ends up being fine.
Don't worry about it. Uneven wedding parties are normal these days. I have 3 bridesmaids and FI has 8 groomsmen. For the ceremony, the groomsmen will be standing with the groom in the front and only the bridesmaids will process in. Afterwards, we aren't having a head table and are having everyone sit with their family/ friends, so it won't even be an issue.
There are ways to work around it. Besides, only being off by 1 will go unnoticed.
Oh, i see. Yeah, flying in from out of town is tough.
Sad face for your Fi, though.I'm sure he and his buddy are bumming most of all .
Aw, that's too bad, but if you're unconcerned, then you're unconcerned! ;) Save your energy for bigger problems!
Personally for me, I probably woulda freaked cuz well that's just me. Ha ha but it sounds like you're truely ok so roll with that.
Ahh yes same thing happened to us but it was my FI best man. We went from 5 groomsmen to 2! All you can do is laugh and go with the flow!

FI just got kinda of a sad call. He has a groomsmen that he worked with/was friends with for a year before the guy moved to SF. He asked him before he was even thinking of moving, so it wasn't an issue then.
GM just called FI to say he can't get 06/11 off of work. It's a mandatory teaching day, no exceptions.
We had an even 8/8 on each side. Now it's 8/7. I figure we can have one guy walk two girls. The pictures will be fine. Am I being too relaxed, or is there really no big issue with this?
