Two bridesmaids not speaking - should I "suspend"/sack them?

Hey everyone

Thanks for reading this - I wonder if anyone has been in a similar situation...

I recently asked 2 of my closest friends to be my bridesmaids and they both accepted. Now normally, the 3 of us are really close knit and spend a lot of time together but last week the 2 of them fell out with each other and I'm getting stuck in the middle. It's all been totally blown out of proportion and the 2 of them are acting like complete children! And they're both so wrapped up in their argument that I don't think they've even thought about the potential situation it could create for me!

I haven't mentioned it to either of them yet as I want to give them chance to sort things out but I'm thinking that if, in a couple of weeks, they still aren't speaking again then I need to point out to them that they are both supposed to be my bridesmaids (and my friends) and that they are suspended from their role until they can sort themselves out.

The problem is, they are both very strong willed, stubborn and outspoken, whereas I'm the quieter and softer of us! Basically, I'm not sure how to go about "suspending" them without them falling out with me too!

Not really sure how to handle this one...x

First of all when is your wedding? If it is a long way off I wouldn't worry. If it is in the next couple of months then I would speak to both of them individually and tell them that for your sake things have to be pleasant between them, just say that you don't think it is fair that their differences cause any stress to you preparing for your big day. However you can't insist they become good friends again - they probably both think they have good reasons to act the way they are and maybe they do.

But for the sake of your wedding they have to be civil to each other.

well i think its a bit silly suspending them over a argument that they can probably sort out..just need to get the 3 of u together in one room and just say to them its not fair on you that ur stuck in the middle and they both being petty...you would appreciate if they can apologise to each other and try and move on so u can enjoy the wedding planning

if they not willing to make this one wee sacrifice to help you and they just still be stubbon..thats when id look into sacking them!!! cl
