So its for sure... my bridesmaid will not be able to make it. I completely understand because of her situation with her husband, and I feel so bad she bought her dress and now she can't use it! But now I don't know what to do!?!?! Do I get another bridesmaid or do I just have 4 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen? If I get another bridesmaid I really don't think I could get the dress in 3 weeks and it will look dumb if I just have 4 bridesmaids... who will the 5th groomsman walk down with? Kinda lame to walk down by himself. WHAT SHOULD I DO????
Your friend just lost her husband- who cares about your number of people in the wedding. Think about how awful your friend must feel- she is a widow.
