I have a little dilemna and I was wondering if you might be able to help. Short version: I got married about 4 months ago and my 4 brides maids were lifelong friends, my matron of honor specifically a friend since I was 3. She drove the furthest to be a part of our wedding, from Chicago to Philadelphia. When the wedding was over and she was about to head home, she gave us a card, inside the card was a check for $250.00, to me a very generous gift seeing how she had already given so much being a part of the wedding. Only thing was that the signature was accidently ripped off the bottom. I asked the bank and of course they will not accept the check. I called my friend up and she saw the signature part was still in her checkbook and she said she would send another check. 2 month went by and no check had arrived. For a gentle reminder I sent her the ripped check back. Another 2 months have gone by and still no check. I am just planning to write her a thank you card thanking her for traveling all this way and being a part of the day and having that be that, forgetting about the check altogether, is that a good idea? I must also tell you she is a close friend and I could probably even just out right ask her and she would not think it snotty of me. I am not sure if it is smart to just let it go. I have a feeling she will remember someday and be embarrased about it. What is the best course of action? Any advice would be so helpful. Thank you! Katrina

Dear Kat:
I'd drop it, expecially since you've said that you feel she's already given you so much just by being a prt of the wedding.

I agree as well. Appreciate the gesture, regardless of the end result, and simply express your thanks for her being in the wedding party. Something may very well have ocurred that prevented her from following through, and if that is the case, she is probably quite embarrassed about it because you two are such good friends. Treasure what you have and drop what you don't. Wishing you the best!

I agree, it's best to drop it. You don't want to lose a friend or have her feel uncomfortable. Lori of ModelBride.com http://www.modelbride.com
