This week: A bridesmaid *thinks* the groom is cheating. She has no proof. What does she do?
Last week: A bride asked you to vote on her wedding decisions because her real bridesmaids areā¦.MIA?
Hold please:
Dear 1-800-Bridesmaid,
Dear Jen,
I'm reaching out to you because I'm facing a challenging situation as a bridesmaid in my best friend Sarah's upcoming wedding. I care deeply about Sarah and want the best for her, but recently, I heard something that has left me feeling uneasy and unsure of what to do.
Last week, a friend of a friend mentioned in passing that they thought they saw Sarah's fiancƩ, Michael, on a dating app. I was shocked and couldn't believe it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I started to worry. I don't have any concrete evidence, and it could just be a misunderstanding or even a false accusation, but I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right.
I'm torn about whether I should say something to Sarah. I don't want to cause unnecessary drama or stress, especially with the wedding only a couple of months away. Sarah seems so happy and excited about marrying Michael, and I would hate to plant a seed of doubt in her mind without being absolutely certain.
At the same time, I feel like I have a responsibility as her friend to look out for her well-being. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I kept quiet and later found out that my suspicions were correct.
I've been losing sleep over this dilemma. I donāt know what to do. I want to be a good friend to Sarah and support her during this exciting time in her life, but I also want to protect her from potential heartbreak. Hoping someone can tell me WTF to do.

Whatās new with Bridesmaid for Hire:
Jen Glantz here! Iām so grateful youāre here. I started 1-800-Bridesmaid as a way to bring you into the world of my life as a hired bridesmaid for strangers.
If youāre wondering what Iāve been up to lately, hereās a little preview:
A lot of you are reaching out to see if we are still hiring. Yes, but at the moment, there arenāt any open positions. Iāll keep you posted inside the newsletter when open positions to work weddings pop up.
My team and I developed these interactive maid of honor/best man speech and wedding vow tools. You chat with us about the stories, details, and memories you want to include and I write the speech for you ā in just a few hours. If you have a wedding coming up and need a speech, check this out. Weāre expanding this month to offer wedding officiant and father of the bride/goom and mother of the bride/groom speeches.
Did you know we have a Bridesmaid for Hire book? Itās a best-seller on Amazon and it dives into how I started the business and what itās been like to work weddings as a hired bridesmaid.

I would create a fake profile on the dating app and see if he is on there. Join the are we dating the same guy and post his pic anonymously. Then you have your proof.
Be prepared for her to still marry him. If heās a good manipulator he can explain it away. Him and her work it out.
My bf and I are currently working it out.
My bf was on dating apps. The only reason he got caught was a girl posted him in the group Are We Dating the Same guy. The dummy knew I was in these groups guess he never thought he would get caught. He hooked up with the one girl who thought he wanted a relationship.
Hereās the funny thing since finding out the universe has been sending me men like crazy.
If this is the only reason for the bridesmaidās unease, she needs proof before telling the bride. Especially since this info would be second hand. If this is just another in a string of concerning events, Iād still suggest proof, but good to have a general conversation with the bride.
