     How to ask maid of honor to step down  

My wedding is in two weeks. My MOH is in another state. She has a boyfriend that is much younger than she is and she is determined to bring him out to where I live(she is in FL I am in Las Vegas)-whether I like it or not. I have had to do all the calling and she has not made an effort. Two days ago she just booked her ticket after she had told me she had taken care of this weeks ago. She has stated that even if she wasn't there that it would still be beautiful. She acts as if this is going to be a vacation and will "squeeze" my wedding in.I have told her how I felt, however it seems not to matter to her. I've paid for her outfit and I have paid for her hotel. How can I politely tell her that I do not want her boyfriend near the wedding & that perhaps it would be best that she just attend and not stand with me?Crazy

Dear Kbrown,

Unless he is abusive or you feel that he will be some sort of problem he should be invited, because he is her significant other. Even if she were a guest, she should be able to bring her significant other.

It is difficult to determine what is going on here by just hearing the one side. Perhaps you could just ask her if she still wants to be your MOH and if she does then she will need to make a serious effort to be at your wedding. If she doesn't, then you could tell her that she is still a guest.

Best wishes,
