I am so confused and don't know what to do!

I am so confused and don't know what to do!

One of my bridesmaids is my cousin in Florida. I love her to death, but I am worried about her being at the wedding. She is in a very bad marriage and her husband is a real jerk. They are practically poor. But I am not supposed to know about it. Every time I talk to her she says she can't wait to come up for the wedding. Well, her mother is always telling my mom how broke they are and how she doesn't see how she is going to afford the trip up. We had to order the BM dresses recently and my mom, trying not to make me stress, put her dress on her credit card just to get the order in. She told my mom she would give her the money when we see her. I bought my girls BM gifts and they had to be engraved with their names. I did not get hers engraved because I am so worried she will not be here and I don't want to waste the entire gift, by putting her name on it, not knowing if she will be here. We have given her so many opportunities to back out of the wedding, but she continuously says she'll be here. I don't know what to do. Should I keep planning with her included? Should I go get her gift engraved and hope for the best? ARGH!!!

If your cousin is close to you she will probably do her best to make it. She most likely doesn''t want to back out because she really wants to be there for you. Trips to Florida to NY the prices are not that bad.

I would also get her gift engraved when she had purchased her plane ticket. Better to be safe than lose that extra $$.

If things are really down and out in her life right now, maybe your cousin is extremely excited about your wedding which will give her more incentive to make the trip up from Florida. I would go ahead and include her, and count on her being there. I would make it known to her how special this day is and how importance her presence is.
