My wedding's a little over a year away, but I asked my bridesmaids to be in the wedding 7 or 8 months ago. I sent out emails 3 days ago about meeting up online today to have a first meeting, introduce them to eachother (since none have ever met), to show them the dress I picked out, and have them vote on bridesmaid's dresses. Most of them told me when they'd be available, and read the message telling them when it was scheduled, and what time zone it's in (since I'm in one state and my bridesmaids are spread through 3 other states).
Girl A hasn't even read the message saying I wanted to set up a meeting. Girl B told me she wouldn't be available, but when the meeting time came, she was online. Girls C and D were both online less than an hour before the meeting, and since had signed off and not back on. Girl E sent me a message on messenger from her phone letting me know she couldn't make it since she'd just moved apartments and internet wasn't working for some reason, but at least she let me know.
Girl E's the only one I'm not blatantly upset with. They've all seemed to take this really seriously up until now.
I want to wait and see if they thought it was a different time zone or something, but they all had asked to make sure. My fiance says I should send them a message letting them know that this is serious, and they need to take it seriously, but I'm hurt that out of 5 girls, not a single one made the time to show up. I'm really concerned at how much I can trust them to come through.
They're all completely irreplaceable. 3 of them were friends of mine in school, one of them is s.o. to someone I call my big brother, and the one I'm not mad at is someone I met through an ex that's still stuck around.
I don't know what to do with this situation, but I feel it's appalling and "not cool".
