…and then there were three.
Originally, we had 4 people on each side of the bridal party. Now, not so much.
The other night Hunter’s best friend and “homey of honor” in our wedding, El, called to share the news that he had been cast in a very exciting and promising off-broadway version of Neil Gaiman’s book (and now movie) Coraline. We are so proud of him and were totally thrilled to hear it. But, he said, the director wouldn’t allow him to miss a performance to be in our wedding. Not a one. No. bueno.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hunter more devastated. Young boys don’t dream much about their wedding day, but ever since he was a young boy, Hunter looked forward to the day his best friend stood next to him at his wedding. This is his duuuuude. You know what I mean. Every high school story begins with “this one time, me and El….”
The look on my poor man’s face was enough to break a nation’s worth of hearts. Of course, it couldn’t be helped. Of course, we 100% support El in this incredible opportunity and are beyond happy for him. But of course, having a best friend miss out on standing next to Hunter – or moreso, having Hunter miss out on his best friend being there, is a difficult letdown to reconcile.
There’s just no replacing El. Sure, our bridal party will be uneven, but who really cares? Its not about numbers, its about love. We sure will miss El’s love that day… but I know his spirit will be toasting the moment with us all.
Poor, poor Hunter, though. If MaPo were to step down, I can’t imagine how disappointed I’d feel. It’s just so sad for him. I can’t even fathom.
Ah, showbiz….. Let’s hope El wins a Tony, y’all 
We just had something very similar happen to us (though it definitely didn’t involve Broadway!) and are also now down to 3 groomsman and 4 bridesmaids. I too am not concerned about being uneven, so it makes me happy to read that you aren’t either!
Poor Hunter. And poor El – I’m sure he’s as pset.
We have 4 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. Nobody stepped down – that’s just who we wanted. Numbers don’t matter!
But ah … that’s too bad! I’ll hope El wins the Tony, too!
That sucks a lot. Maybe you could help him to feel like he’s there by say sending him a program and a boutonniere early.
That’s too bad.
What a sucky situation. I’m sure Hunter must be really sad right now. I’m sad for him!! Poor guy.
That is so sad!!!! I would be so upset if my best friend couldn’t be there.
I'm so sorry
We had a similar situation happen to us — first with a groomsmen… and then Jason's sister & her husband didn't come because she was pregnant with her first baby and the doctor said driving 3 hours wouldn't be good in her last month (!)….so we were devastated, too — but it all works out in the end!
Oh man, what a bummer. I hope he perks up soon. What an amazing opportunity for his friend, though, that’s great.
As a photographer, I LOVE uneven wedding parties. Symmetry is “easy” and the logical sides of our brains love it. However, imbalance is interesting and creative.
And one of your gents gets the honor of escorting not-one-but-two lovely ladies.
Well, sometimes it happen. The important thing is that there are two people who will be making a promise for love and the wedding ceremony has to go on no matter what. Just relax and calm down. Then just enjoy that very special moment to the fullest… Great post!
I imagine your hubby’s friend must feel awful along with the joy of his new job! (Just so long you know you can have two of your gals walk back down the aile with just one guy…) Like you said, it doesn’t need to be even! (Mine wasn’t!)
clearly el needs to pay you back with tickets to see him perform.
Hey, it’s Kira, the girl who bought the Emperor’s Beloved today
I can really relate to this story. For about two months, I thought my best friend would be in England during my wedding, studying abroad for her degree. It turns out she’s not going this year, but still. I know how it feels to know that your very own best friend won’t be there.
Maybe you guys can find a way to honor him anyway, have someone wear his favorite shirt with a tux or something and pretend to be him to walk down the aisle :p Kind of silly, but something along those lines might help
