My sister is the MOH and lives several states away. She has not once been here to visit and help with any wedding plans. She had planned to come last month but canceled at the last minute. Now the wedding is six months away and she will probably not be here until the day before the wedding. My mom thinks I should ask her to step down and be the second in line but I would hate to do that. But I also feel bad about asking any of my other bridesmaids to take on her duties as matron of honor. What do I do?

Dear Emilink,
You asked your sister knowing that she lived in a different state. So, it really shouldn't be a surprise that she couldn't be of more assistance. Your other bridesmaids can fill in for some of the other 'duties'.
Please do note that the bridal shower is an optional party. So, if this is one of the problems, it really shouldn't be. Another friend or bridesmaid could offer to host one.
Matron of honor not here.
