A good friend of mine and me just had a falling out and now my god daughter (Who usually stays with us all summer) will not be in our wedding Her mother has paid $200 twards her dress I paid $70 for her shoes and jewelry,I just got my check back for her dress alterations (thank-god they hadn't started yet), and have engraved gifts for both her and her mother, and the whole families meals are already paid for with caterer. Now they are asking me to pay to get her dress mailed to them for they do not want anyone else to be able to use it. I have not and do not plan to fill her spot but what should I do about her dress? I have already lost enough money by having them back out? My next question is what to do now? It is only three weeks till my wedding and we already have a small bridal party. My god daughter was to be Jr. bridesmaid who would walk with Jr groomsmen. They are both the only JR. in the wedding. Now the only options I really have is to put Jr groomsmen with Miniture Bride and put my nephew who was going to be Miniature groom with my flower girl who was going to walk alone. Does this sound like it will work? I will then have a miniature groom who is almost 11 and a miniature bride who is 8 and they are brother and sister. I do not know what else to do. Please Help.
Thanks

Re: [wswhiteowl] two part question about Jr. Bridesmaid

Dear Lots of Jrs,
Number one, you need to send the dress to your god daughter's mother. She paid for it.
Number two, I don't have a clue what a miniture bride and groom are. Honestly, there is no such thing. Why have two brides and two grooms at a wedding when only one couple is getting married? It is logical. There should be no little children dressed up as a bridal couple. They can't be married.
Now, on to the jr. attendants. There doesn't need to be an equal amount of attendants. If you only have a jr. groomsman, he would walk alone.
You could also have the children that were to be a bridal couple as jr. attendants, jr. bridesmaid and jr. groomsman.

Thanks for your reply. My question was not if they should get their dress But what I could do to get it sent there I do not wish to spend any more money on them. Can I just have them contact the wedding center where the dress is and have them handle it?
Thank-You
