I am having a major problem! My FH's best man and one of his groomsman can't come because their grandmother died and they have to go to a funeral. His other groomsman just had a baby, he said he is going to come, but with a baby who knows. My wedding is on Saturday! My mom and dad are worried about the pictures and my FH is saying that he doesn't want to replace anybody. We only planned to have 3 attendants each. Which means that if his other groomsman doesnt come then he will have nobody with him. I'm trying not to worry about this, but it is hard. Please give me some encouragement, because things are looking bleak for me. I'm so stressed out, that I getting headaches. My parents want one thing, my future FH wants another, and I don't know what the hell I want. Actually I do, to get this wedding over with. Everything is going to pot! What should I do??

Oh do I know how you feel I am getting married on Saturday TOO. Please calm down because the last thing you need is to make yourself sick you poor thing. I make sure to keep a bottle of wine in the house and if I am having a stressful day I close the door pour a glass of wine and watch some stupid funny tv show and forget about the wedding for that night.

If your FH does not want to replace his men then so be it and the man who just had a baby WILL show he is not a mom he is a dad and he can leave and probably does leave whenever he wants… Use the stupid man logic to your advantage. But if no one shows for your hubby ask a dad or an usher (if you have one) to stand up with him. No big deal if he is not worried you shouldn’t be either. I don’t think one of my bridesmaids is going to show but whatever their loss not ours. Those poor boys though they are the best reason ever to not come.

And finally tell your parents that you love them but now is not the time to stress you out so butt out. The only thing any family member should be doing now is offering support to you two. Pictures will be fine your photographer is a professional and will figure out placing for you..

GOOD LUCK and I hope everything is beautiful and loving.

Well, just found out that the other groomsman can't make it.

Well, the wedding to day in about 5 hours. My FB is having his grandfather and father stand with him. Our honeymoon will not happen. We were going to go to New Orleans, but with Hurricane Gustov coming, that won't happen. We do have a place to stay for the wedding night though. I will let you all know how everything goes. Wish me luck!
