Bridesmaid Dilemma

5 replies

Three of us in our friendship group. One of us recently got engaged and has asked the third friend as Bridesmaid but not me. Feeling sad and left out. Any advice or opinions welcomed.

Nothing you can do apart from accept it really unfortunately. Must be upsetting though if you've always been equal friends, it would have been nice for her to explain but she's probably feeling awkward.

Does she have other bridesmaids? If so, are they friends or family? It could well be financial reasons that mean she can't have you both.

Just be a supportive friend to her and do anything you can, she's still your good friend afterall.

Maybe she’ll ask you to have another role in her wedding?

You could try thanking your lucky stars that you don't have to get guyed up in a dress you hate, with a hairdo that makes you itch and shoes that pinch....

I’m in exactly the same situation summer.
I found out on Friday that other friend was to be bridesmaid and I haven’t been asked. I had both of them when I got married. Other friend had neither of us, just her sister.
I have to admit I cried.

But as hurt as I felt I just have to get on with it. I’m still really excited for her wedding and once you get past the initial hurt feelings you will be as she’s a good friend.

Allow yourself a bit of a wallow then dust yourself off and enjoy the preparation with your friends.

It must be hurtful especially if you had her as yours.
I think it's a bit harsh if she hasn't said why as well. It's easier if she could only have one other and flipped a coin.
She must of known it might be a sensitive issue.....
