Don't know what is going on with the matron or bridesmaid
I chose 2 very close friends to be in my bridal party.I have no way of contacting the matron of honor since she is constantly moving or having her phone disconnected. My bridesmaid, who is my matron of honor'd daughter, lives with her father and I haven't been able to speak to her in a couple of months since she is active with school and activities. I have 5 months until I get married and I have a feeling I will not have my matron of honor or my bridesmaid. I tried calling backups with no success. My fiance and I have decided that if I do not hear from them by March I may have to ask his sister to be my matron of honor. Would this be recommended since she is on the grooms side or would it be more appropriate just to stand up by myself?
Any suggestions will be helpful

Dear Winnie:
Communication during wedding planning is essential. If you can't contact this person whom is supposed to be close to you and whom you have selected as your MOH, then there isn't much you can do. The same goes for her daughter, your bridesmaid. Participating in a wedding is expensive, so you shouldn't ask someone who isn't close to you just as a 'backup'. If they weren't one of your original choices, then let it go.
If you don't have a MOH or BM to be in your wedding, so be it. At the end of the day, you will still be happy and in love:-)
Cheers!

I completely agree. An attendant should be someone who is close to you and not a back up. But, many people over look male friends. You may be very close to a male that you didn't even consider.
Having said that, I couldn't agree more that it really doesn't matter. You will be standing with the person who matters the most. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
