    I have a real dilemma, I have 3 bridesmaids, my daughter who is 3 who can't wait to be a princess for the day. The problem is the other 2, my OH's daughter who is 15 who keeps on falling out with her dad and don't talk for weeks (she doesn't live with us) she is jealous of me too. The other one is my friend who I have known for 6 years who over the last few months has been a proper let down, she cancels plans to meet up. I have got another friend who I could ask to be bridesmaid but worried it will cause us to fall out if I say I don't think she should be bridesmaid.HELP!!!!
    What would you lot do????

    Ok 1st of all dont panic (easier said than done)

    Do you want to have BM or would you just be happy with ur little one??

    If you want BM then i think u need to talk to ur friend of 6 years and explain you need her attention and her commitment, if she isnt able to do that she leaves you nothing other than asking someone else (and personally a true friend would understand that)

    Also, just tell future step daughter that you need her commitment too or she won't be one. The last thing you need on the run up and day of your wedding is a BM playing up and giving you grief xxx

    urgh step daughters are the bane of my life. my partner has a 15 year old and 10 year old and they are making my decision of having them as bridesmaid or not really bloody hard! we want them to be there because they are my partners kids, but why do they have to make life so difficult, they also hate me. x

    I've got this horrible feeling in the back of my head that my one and only BM is going to let me down and not want to do it, I'm thinking maybe I should have 2 BMs just in case.

    But yea I would tell them straight if there not commited to it then don't do it!

    Being a bm is not just for the day, its the run up to it as well. If they're being difficult now, what will they be like on the day when they're supposed to be calming you down and helping you to get ready?

    Might be worth asking your other friend to be a bm if you think she will step up to the duties and not be another pain the behind for you xx
