Q: My son’s finance has asked a married friend to be a bridesmaid, but the woman is going to be seven months pregnant on the wedding day. Isn’t this inappropriate?
A: In the past, when the mother-to-be felt some pressure to keep a low profile in public, it might have caused a stir. But today, bridesmaids are chosen based on friendship, not looks, and it’s perfectly okay for a member of the wedding party to be pregnant-as long as she feels up to the physical demands.
