Bridesmaid pulled out with a month to go

I’m getting married in 32 days and one of my bridesmaids just messaged me saying that she needs to pull out. I’m so upset. One of the reasons way she cancelled is some personal stuff she’s been dealing with (this has been happening for months and I doubled checked when I first found out and she said she was good to stay in the wedding), she’s also been unemployed for a while now and she’s worried about Covid. I just wish she had said something sooner. I understand why she felt like she had to pull out but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. I’m also dealing with another bridesmaid who only ordered her dress this past month after initially saying she had ordered it back in March. I don’t have enough coffee to deal with this 😔

    I'm sorry to hear this, to be honest, my maid of honor lives in the states and she missed my bachelorette because of personal/flight issues and I was very convinced she would miss my wedding. The most important thing is to not let it stress you out, this is still your big day and it will go great even if you are one bridesmaid short. Focus on what you have to look forward too and the people who are still here to be a part of it Smiley heart

    I am in Ottawa actually lol 😂 thanks for offering! We actually had uneven numbers to start with so no worries on that end. Unfortunately the dress I picked isn’t being sold anymore and there’s no one else I’d really want to ask (at least no one that’s the same size as the bridesmaid who bailed). I’m feeling a little better this morning 😊

    Awe Jenny that is not great news and there's not enough coffee in the world to help for something like this.

    Do you have someone who would have loved to be a part of the bridal party that you could ask last minute, would you be okay with not lining up with the groomsman? If you live in Ottawa I would be more than happy to bail you out. Besides IT'S....

    This is your big day, we can't let it get you down.

    Hopefully it's enough of a notice that you can let the caterer know and not have to pay for her plate.

    Unfortunately stuff like this happens and we just have to deal with it. Even regular guests can no-show on the day of for a wide variety of reasons. Hopefully you didn't make too big of a financial investment on their involvement in the bridal party.

    Is this person declining from attending the wedding entirely?
