Out of my 11 bridesmaids, 6 are married and 3 have already given birth to one child. Another one is currently pregnant with her first due in February, and I just found out today, that another is pregnant with her 2nd due……the week of my wedding.
What to do? What to do? Naturally, given the demographics of my bridesmaids, I understood early on that at this point in our lives (circa 29-30 years old), we all have our own family lives and demands that make it hard to plan around. I understand that my bridesmaid due in June may not be able to make the wedding or fit into a matching dress. However, I don’t want to NOT have her because of that. Just because she may not be able to participate in the “big day” I still consider her as I do the other 10, vital important people that have contributed to making my life special throughout my various walks of life. I’ve told her that I would love for her to be considered a bridesmaid and participate in whatever she can. Obviously, everyone understands that a 9 month pregnant woman may not be able to commit, however, I still want her included in my roster of special people.
Have any of you been a pregnant bridesmaid or have pregnant bridesmaids? How would you feel and what would you do?
