How upset would you be if. . .?
you were asked to be in a wedding party, and then “fired”? Let me know from the “supposed to be bridesmaid” perspective.
When my fiance and I first got engaged I was super excited and spent a few months going through plans for some big elaborate by-the-book silly wedding, and asked a few friends to be bridesmaids. Almost a year has gone by, and we both have realized that we want our wedding to be small intimate, and represent what a marriage should be, we don’t just want it to be an elaborate meaningless day. Since we’re going pretty small and simple with everything, now I really don’t want a wedding party at all, just a few friends to sing and maybe someone for a reading. No bridesmaids. And our parents will sign as witnesses.
How pissed would you be if you thought you were going to be in a wedding party and then were told there will be no wedding party? Would you be understanding of our desire for simplicity?
Thanks!
I would NOT be upset at all. As a matter of fact, I would be very happy for you (and me!!!) lol
Why me? Because I can save money on a dress, bra, shoes, hair, makeup, bridal shower, bachelorette party!!
Really, though, I think everyone should understand and just be happy for you. I would not be mad or feel slighted in the least.
Good for you for realizing what is important!! I hope you have a beautiful wedding day and a happy marriage.
