Bridal Party Problems!
I am getting married June 26, 2004. I am currently going to be telling someone I no longer wish to have them in my wedding party. We have not spoken in some time, and I have given her plenty of tries to make up for her wrongs. Her sister is also in my wedding, and understands why I am doing what I am doing. The big problem, is this girl lives upstairs from me. I can live with that, since we already do not speak. Can you advise the proper wording I can use when telling this girl I no longer want her in my wedding. Any help would be GREAT!
Thank You

Well, it`s hard, but there is no way around this without uncomfortable feelings and possibly even conflict. So you have to decide if it`s worth the unpleasantness you WILL encounter. Part of being grown-up is making these hard decisions and sticking to our guns. Unfortunately, it doesn`t mean your ex-friend wil be a grown up when you tell her. Whatever you do, stick to your guns, do not defend yourself, just state facts and leave it at that. Do not become childlike and argue with her. And be prepared to live with the consequences.... Forever. Make sure this is a decision you will back up years after the wedding. Because there will be little chance of fixing this afterwards should you decide you were wrong.
