O.K here the question. My best friend is having her wedding in Aruba. She ask me to be in her bridal party. Now here comes the tricky part. She is not paying anything toward her bridal party expenses to Aruba which i did not know at first. We pay for everthing ourselves air,hotel,food and so on plus my finace would come so it would be two airfares. I''m really nervous because I have a feeling this could get very expensive on my part paying all the regular wedding stuff such as dress,bridal shower,and wedding gift on top of airfare and hotel expensives. I''m also getting married 4 months after her she got engaged first then me. I''m not even sure how I can even swing the vacations days since my honeymoon will be in the same year as her wedding and i only get 2 weeks vacation. I''m thinking i will have to take personal days beacause i need all my vacation days for my honeymoon. She is having two weddings one in Aruba and a small one here when they get back. I kinda feel that if she wants to get married in Aruba and have her bridal party there shouldn''t she pay for something such as our dresses or hotel or airfare at least one of those things? Am i wrong? I went online and checked etiquette on this subject. It does say if she wants her wedding party to go to a destination wedding that she should pay the airfare or hotel stay for her bridal party. Is this correct what to you guys think on this subject? I''m so torn I want to be there but now that I''m getting married i don''t see how I can afford to do it. Any advise would be greatly appriecated. thanks
