    Hi all...I have a dilemma and I don't know what to do. I know that 13months seems like quite a long time away and everything, but my partner and I have recently found out that we are -£5k for the wedding, so we have decided that we are going to be doing things a bit differently as we have wanted to get married on this exact date since the day he proposed to me. So, since our little money dilemma, we have decided that we are going to start getting the bits such as rings etc 1st and what ever money we have left over in January next year is what we will be using for the venue. Only problem being is that I asked my older sister to be a bridesmaid for me when she was living locally to us, but now, she has literally disappeared and I haven't heard from her since before Christmas. I've already met up with my other bridesmaids without her because she has not been responding to any of our calls or messages, and I don't know what to do. Any advice? xoxox

    I'm assuming you don't mean she has literally disappeared!! Just that she hasn't been in contact with yourself, but other family members have seen/heard from her??

    If its just money worry's that's making you second guess your choice of bridesmaids, then how about approaching them (even in a f@ceb00k chat) & explaining that things are costing more than you thought & although you would love to buy their bridesmaid dresses you cant afford to. Although if you do go down this route don't then pick a £100+ dress & expect them to be happy about paying for it.

    Our bm dresses were £40 each so nice dresses can be found for cheap...

    It does come across like you're more concerned about the money/bridesmaid sitch rather than actually finding out if she's ok :/ sorry but that's what it looks like...

    I hope you find her and that she's ok x

    Are you not concerned that you haven't heard from her in 2 months.... If she's disappeared, I'd be seriously concerned!!

    Have any of your family or friends heard from her? Do you know why she might of gone?
    Have you contacted police?!!!
    Priorities! I wouldn't get married without my sister

    Are you close or is it quite common for her to not keep in touch? I would check she is ok, but wouldnt include her in the wedding if she cant be bothered keeping in touch or leave a forwarding address.

    Hi all, sorry I guess I could have explained the situation a bit better. She is fine. She's kept in touch with our father but gone off to live abroad apparently, only he wasn't allowed to tell me that. I knew she was fine though because our father had to borrow some money from me for petrol to get to her (I don't get on with him, I barely know him as he lives on the other side of England to me). When I said disappeared, I meant as in she's left the house with no warning and no number for me to contact her with. I thought we were close after finally finding each other when I first helped her out with moving away, maybe I just misjudged it.... Thank you all for your replies though:) as for the dresses, I'm paying for them anyway, I just want to make sure that all my bridesmaids are comfortable and like what they are wearing :) xoxox

    It would seem that way. I had to find out from one of our other sisters (our father has 11kids). I just don't understand why. She was thrilled when I asked her, and we haven't argued or anything"/ she just moved back up to Peterborough near our father and that was it"/ xoxox
