Some of you may know that at the beginning of my wedding planning I had to request my maid of honor to step down from her duties. Well, I am not sure if I just have bad luck or I just pick really shitty friends. Two of my bridesmaids are basically MIA. I have not received any money for their bridesmaids dresses, they didn't bother to show up to my shower and I have not heard from either of them in a good 2 months now. I am not angry at them, I am just a little hurt. Scott and I have been engaged now for 19 months. I asked both of these girls to be part of our special day in month one of our engagement. They've had plenty of time to save $105 for their dresses and/or back out altogether. I am not asking much from any of my bridesmaids, just maybe a phone call every once in awhile, or to return my calls and to pay for their own dresses. I am paying for their hair and makeup and I told all of the bridal party not to get us any gifts. IMO their presence is present enough.
On the bright side of things, I have 2 wonderful girls who I've asked to step in for them and they are more than willing, they are actually happy to do it. Which makes me feel that not all is lost. Afterall, I'd rather have people who actually care about Scott and I stand up for us anyway. These girls will be in my life for a long time and I am thankful to have them in my life.
I haven't told the other two bridesmaids that they have been replaced yet, they will have to find out when they return one of my phone calls.
