"Well, this is uncomfortable. Writes April: &amp;amp;#8220;My husband&amp;amp;#8217;s family friend, Brian, is getting married, and his bride, Angela, asked Brian&amp;amp;#8217;s sisters and me to be bridesmaids. I was a little surprised to be included, but I accepted because she&amp;amp;#8217;s nice and we&amp;amp;#8217;ve been spending more time together. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s the issue: I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been very close with the groom&amp;amp;#8217;s sisters for years, and now they&amp;amp;#8217;re pissed off at the bride. They&amp;amp;#8217;re even considering backing out of the wedding! I have no idea what went down between them and Angela, and no one seems to want to clue me in, but I feel funny staying in the wedding party if they drop out. What do I do?&amp;amp;#8221; Here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I think: Sisters-in-law-to-be sometimes fight. And since you&amp;amp;#8217;re not privy to the problem that&amp;amp;#8217;s causing the bridesmaids to consider dropping out, it&amp;amp;#8217;s wise not to let their differences stop you from doing your bridesmaid-ly duties. Yes, you&amp;amp;#8217;re more loyal to the bridesmaids since you know them for longer, but until someone gives you a good reason to turn your back on the bride, don&amp;amp;#8217;t. Even though you&amp;amp;#8217;re feeling in the dark, your pals are probably doing you a favor by not involving you in their fight. It could be so petty that they&amp;amp;#8217;ll resolve it in time for the wedding. Or maybe it&amp;amp;#8217;s major, but they have enough sense not to attempt to turn others against the woman their brother is marrying. Either way, you like the bride, otherwise you wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have accepted her offer to be in her wedding party. True, it might be awkward if your friends back out. That alone isn&amp;amp;#8217;t a reason to drop out, yourself. Be a friend to the bride, just as you&amp;amp;#8217;d want her to be to you if the situation were reversed--it&amp;amp;#8217;s not like you can&amp;amp;#8217;t still be friends with the sisters too! If you do learn what they&amp;amp;#8217;re fighting about, as long as the bride didn&amp;amp;#8217;t do anything to offend you personally (or do something so morally reprehensible, it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t matter who the victim was), I&amp;amp;#8217;d stick with being in the wedding party. If the sisters are mature enough, they won&amp;amp;#8217;t let this get in the way of your friendship with them. Have you ever been in April&amp;amp;#8217;s (bridesmaid) shoes? Would you drop out of a wedding party if you&amp;amp;#8217;re closer with the bridesmaids the bride is warring with? What advice do you have for April?
