My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 1/2 years. His best friend, whom he's known since middle school, is getting married this weekend. The bride asked me to be a bridesmaid about a year ago (actually, she asked me boyfriend to ask me). She started a Facebook group message with me and the other bridesmaids to talk about dresses and all that good stuff. The dresses we got off the same website, so I know I have the right dress. But I haven't heard from her since April. Her sister was trying to plan a Bachelorette party, but they were aiming for a weekend in September that I was busy - a close friend of mine I met in college got married and I was in that bridal party as well. The last I heard was that they'd aim for a different weekend. It's been radio silent since then. My boyfriend and I didn't even get invites - when he asked his friend about them, he said the bride didn't know she had to send invites to the bridal party. So I only know where the wedding is because I've been asking my boyfriend if he knows any details. I have no clue about a rehearsal, where the wedding is at, what time, etc. Should I reach out to the bride? (I'm just shaking my damn head over here as I type this, because I'm not even that close with the bride. I only know her because I'm dating her fiancé's friend and we've only ever hung out as couples, mostly for their kids birthdays).
I suggest you ask your boyfriend to talk to his friend and explain that you don't have any info about the wedding, and that you (his girlfriend) is wondering what's going on. His friend should then talk with the bride and contact you.
For what it's worth, it's usually the maid of honor's job (not the bride) to schedule things with the bridesmaids. If you know who the maid of honor is, maybe you can contact her.
Most Helpful Opinions
I'd check to see if the wedding is still going ahead as planned, either through the bride or the groom as you appear to have fallen through a communications gap, It might even be that the Maid/Matron of Honour doesn't know you are a bridesmaid, rare but it happens.
