Some of my closest friends aren't married or engaged yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535639 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 22:01:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1535639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because I would've been 9 months pregnant at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535615 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:45:43 +0000 Mae 1535615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...sooooort of? My cousin asked me to be the photographer for her wedding. She asked 4 days after I found out I was pregnant, and the wedding is 2.5 months after I'm due (across the country). I was really torn because I'd have loved to do it but the idea of traveling with a newborn and juggling that worried me, especially since I'd only had 4 days to get used to the idea of HAVING a newborn. I ended up telling her no, telling her why, and swearing her to secrecy. Turned out for the best because the wedding is on a mountain and I didn't know you can't take babies that young to that altitude? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535586 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:16:47 +0000 Mrsbells 1535586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It was the right thing to do to avoid ruining a friendship </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535583 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:13:34 +0000 Beebug 1535583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, wedding was week from my due date, ended up having DD the morning of the wedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535581 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:12:13 +0000 deerylou 1535581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: This is where I'm at. I agreed to be in a wedding before my kiddo was born, and I ultimately decided to be a SAHM, for a while. I adore the bride immensely, but it's turning out to be a logistical and financial nightmare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535576 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:09:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1535576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I've only been in two weddings though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535551 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:55:42 +0000 IRunForFun 1535551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I'm really wishing I had right about now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535550 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:54:55 +0000 yerpie110 1535550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, for my SIL actually, but it was because DH was asked to be a groomsmen and since it was his sister, we felt it was more important for him to be in the wedding party, as well as the fact that I was nursing. LO was 5 months at the time and one of us needed to be with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535549 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:53:45 +0000 dolphin 1535549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just once because I was pregnant and couldn't travel to the destination wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535547 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:52:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1535547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But it was after I had already accepted and only because her wedding and my wedding were like a month apart. </p> <p>Well, also partly because I could feel we were "drifting" a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535519 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:27:25 +0000 Ash 1535519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I wrote a post on it not too long ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535517 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:25:07 +0000 MarieJ 1535517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have! My cousin is getting married this year in July. I am 8w pregnant and not ready to tell family yet, so I just politely declined. The dress she chose would not work for a 25 week pregnant belly anyway. It's a very fitted Vera wang gown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-declined-being-in-a-wedding#post-1535423 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:51:15 +0000 matador84 1535423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious! </p>
