Regret asking someone in my bridal party!
Date: 01/09/2005 at 10:29 PM
I got engaged a long time ago, and in the excitement I asked my wedding party like instantly. I asked my roommate who I was actually really good friends with at the time, but now I am having a problem, I just don't think I want her to be one of my bridesmaids. We don't even talk to each other anymore. Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to suck it up and let her be there because of my over excitement at the beginning.

REPLIES:
The same thing happened to a good friend of mine in her wedding not too long ago. If your wedding is not anytime soon my suggestion for friend and the same for you is that it is your wedding and something that you will remember for the rest of your life. You want to spend this day with people who are close to you and there feelings are mutual. You are not obligated to keep this person in your wedding party. If they have already purchased something for the wedding which you could and should offer to reimburse when informing them that you would rather reserve a wedding party spot for someone closer. All of this depends on what each of you think of your friendship and how would you like your relationship to be in the future. Booting someone out of your wedding party is a big decision and not to be taken lightly. Good Luck.
I understand your concern, since a wedding party is very important. However, I don't think that asking someone to not be in your wedding party that you have already asked is a good idea. You may not want them there, but since you already asked them, I would say they are going to be in your wedding party. The only way I would think it was ok to ask someone is if you were worried about them disruppting the ceremony for whatever reason it may be.
Happily married since 05/14/04.

I WAS IN THE SAME SITUATION, BUT NOT ANYMORE. I STOP TALKING TO HER AND SHE HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME SO I TOOK HER OUT . AND IF SHE CONTACTS ME NOW I AM GOING TO TELL HER THAT WE ALREADY ORDERED DRESSES AND IT IS TOO LATE. BUT I AM PRETTY SURE IF SHE HAS NOT CONTACTED YOU BY KNOW SHE DOESN'T CARE TO BE IN IT.
Im going to really think hard before picking my bridesmaids. Ive never known anyone to have this problem . Craziness
