People get strange and act uncharacteristically are their weddings. Sometimes people care about the food; sometimes people care about how the bridal party looks. It’s weird, and you really can’t judge it — your decisions might seem just as strange to others. 

I think it sounds like to me that she was looking for an out. Six months pregnant standing for a ceremony I imagine gets painful and tiring. 

Wait, I know someone going through this exact same scenario... 

I cannot imagine a world where I would do this!! Unless it was someone who I knew was a complete drama queen and would complain the whole time even after telling me "It's ok!/I'm ok!" but I can't imagine they'd be my bridesmaid anyway.

I absolutely would and it would be no hard feelings but this was just not the plan

wahhhhhht??? that's hilarious. no i would never kick anyone out for being a different shape than they were before.

OMG whattt? I wouldn't even consider it a possibility! Of course I would still want them in my wedding. I would leave it totally up to the bridesmaid for sure.

When I got married, someone in my wedding party was six months pregnant. She called me up, and told me that I could feel free to kick her out of the party, since she didn't want to be a distraction. I told her she was being ridiculous, and of COURSE I still wanted her in the party.

She then told me that at her wedding (which took place before I knew her), she kicked out HER pregnant bridesmaid, because she didn't want everyone looking at the bridesmaid instead of her. 

I... never even thought this would be a consideration. I would understand a pregnant bridesmaid removing herself so she wouldn't have to stand and be uncomfortable the whole wedding, but would you kick out a bridesmaid for being a visual distraction? (No judgment if the answer is yes — I just never thought this was a wedding consideration!)

Would you kick a bridesmaid out of the wedding party for being pregnant?
