I am to be the Matron of honor at my best friend's wedding.I have known this for 2 months and I have done a lot of planning for her since she doesn't have much cwedding planning experience. I just found out I am 8 weeks pregnant and should be due at least a month after her wedding. It was NOT planned. I just told her before we were getting ready to order our dresses. She was happy for me since my husband and I have a 9yr old and couldn't get pregnant before (but when you least expect it!)
She called me 3 days later and said her mom is paying for her dress and they already put the order in for her dress and the 2 flowergirl dresses. It seems mine cost more now because we didn't order all at the same time. She told me it's an addiational cost for extra material if I still want do be in the wedding. I said, "Of course I do; why wouldn't I. She said, "Well, you have to be the one standing there looking like that!!" It seems like she and her mom want me to back out and I don't know what to do. My husband is their bestman! Please help me decide.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you what you need to do in this instance. But I can say that instead of assuming what the Bride and her mother's intentions are, you should talk with her about how you are feeling and your perception of her response to your news. Then, whatever you decide to do, stay in the wedding or step down, it won't be based on an assumption, which often turns out to be wrong. Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings
