    Well I've just sacked my bridesmaid (my sister) due to a family arguement and her throwing insults. Both me and H2B discussed this and we cannot trust her not to be selfish on the day and behave like a brat so I have sacked her atm. Luckily I haven't bought her dress yet! Unfortunetly this will mean she won't let my neice be my flower girl either, she's only 2 and will do this to spite me.

    The reason for my post is will it be weird walking down the aisle with just my dad? We are having a church wedding and the aisle isn't very big. I don't really want to ask cousins just for the sake of having bridesmaids and this wouldn't be fair on them either.

    Opinions apprecited and thank you in advance

    I don't think it'll be weird, I'm having the bm's and pageboys walk down in front of me so I won't have to wait for them to arrive, lol.
    If you feel that strongly about having someone with you, have you not got a friend that could be bm for you? even if it's just so you have someone to hold your flowers! xx

    I feel for you... my sister is exactly the same! Selfish & I knew she would make herself center of attention on my day or pour a glass of red wine over me lol! She got sacked too! I would go it alone :o) x

    I'm glad I'm not the only one because I feel like such a cow atm for sacking her but the things she has said tonight have been the last straw. H2B is livid and wanted to sack her himself lol x

    you CANT have ANYONE there who is going to spoil your important day, so i dont blame you for sacking her.
    I Dont think it will be weird at all having just your dad.
    You only want people that are special to you there sharing your day

    That is very true Anastasia! I never thought about it like that :) we are opposites and I'm not selfish at all so I really struggle to understand how she can be like that. Best not to understand I guess lol.

    Anyway sorry ladies to bring the mood down tonight I was just worried if it would look random without bridesmaids. You've all made me feel loads better about it though. Thank you xxxx

    hey, dont be sorry for wanting to talk things through!
    We ALL need someone to talk to at times, and I for one can say that sometimes the forum is the only place i can go to offload, or discuss things bothering me, and I havent even been here two weeks yet!

    You need to be able to get others opinons and views, and we all need a mini rant at times, so dont go worrying about it.
    You WILL have an amazing day :)

    my sister is the same I'm closer to my niece so i picked her instead, i know she going to sulk when she finds out she isn't a witness either I've asked my older sister instead. The thing with her is you can never predict her moods shes more up and down then a yo-yo lol and she wont even consider the fact that she got married last year asked my daughters to be bridesmaids then turned round and said they wasn't cos she couldnt afford it even though i offered to pay for all the dress,shoes and hair, didn't ask me to be a witness and when she was panicking about decoration the venue i offered to help her and she snapped my head off saying she didn't want any help then few days later told me our sil was sorting out the venue decorations.

    Aww Hun this sounds like a really stressful situation for you. Just an idea but if you want someone else to walk down in front of you and hold your flowers why not have your mum? That way its someone who means something to you and might be a nice little unique touch.
    Whatever you choose to do make sure you do what makes you happy and don’t compromise! This is your special day and you deserve for it to be perfect.
