Hi all,
I've seen similar threads to this in the past so hope someone can offer some words of wisdom!
I have 3 adult bridesmaids for my big day and I am concerned about one of them. We have a facebook message going with various details about the day. Two of them have been very prompt getting back to me on things, and let me know things they like/don't like/are thinking of doing etc.
The third one has been with me through thick and thin. She is the best friend I have ever had and I am so sad to be posting this but I just need some advice - I'm not bitching about her but genuinely worried about how to approach her. We have both had a very difficult couple of years and up until now have been there for each other.
These past few weeks she has been noticeably distant with me and not really responded to either group or private messages (wedding or otherwise) so I thought OK, I will let her come to me when she's ready, maybe I'm overwhelming her with stuff and she has always got in contact with me to catch up before. But she hasn't this time. She didn't even acknowledge or respond to the group message when I said that my OH's mum had offered to pay for the dresses to say thank you.
She is coming to see me in a few days and I feel like I have to mention it but I don't know how. The reason is that after this weekend, she won't be in the country until a couple of days before the wedding so she will need to respond to things then if she wants to be involved, we won't have a chance to see each other before the wedding and I know I won't be able to leave everything til the morning of.
So what do I do? This isn't a 'shape up or ship out' type situation - it would almost be easier if it was. How do I say that she needs to start responding about things and I wish we could be excited about it all together? x x
