Hello, everyone. I would like help in selecting my maid of honor. I'm having a really hard time deciding. I'm deciding between my sister (Alexandra), my family friend (Sarah), and my future sister-in-law (Emma). I will dedicate a paragraph to each lady to describe the pros and cons of each one....

Alexandra is my sister. She was born in 1994. However, I'm not close to her, and she will be in a master's program during the wedding process. She's not married and has no kids. She is usually in a bad mood around me.

Sarah has been my family's friend since 1996. She has already graduated from college. She's married with two kids and lives far away from me. She is my fiancé's choice for the job. She and I get along fine.

Emma is the newest addition to the group. I met her back in 2012.

She's currently in high school. She's not married and has no kids. Even though she is the youngest lady of the three, she and I get along really well, and she has the most time available to help me.

Thoughts?

Maid of honor is your BEST FRIEND: sister or not. I think whoever you choose, will be happy with whatever their title (or no title) will be.
I chose my best friend as my MOH. She was really shocked I asked her. My older sister - was not surprised I asked her to be my BM because she said I'm her sister. My younger sister (same age as your sister) was a BM. But Grandma and her Vietnamese superstitions said she shouldn't be a BM Bc she's single, has no Boyfriend, and to spare her love life. Our family is slow at getting married and my older sister (35) is not married but actively dating recently. So Grandma is paranoid. Whatever. I'll do as she asks. I asked my younger sister: bridesmaid or Party? She said party. Honestly, everyone will be helping me somehow with wedding planning, ideas, events, etc. Bridesmaids and MOH is who had to stand up at the altar with you.

Did they submit resumes? Was there an interview time with a challenge to see who could make a centerpiece faster? Or maybe who had nicer writing to address all invites? Was there a part of the interview when they had to submit their plans and vision for all your parties before hand?

I would definitely suggest waiting to decide, but you should ask the person that you are closest with. It's not a "job." You also don't HAVE to have a MOH, so if there isn't one person that you feel closest with, one person that you just can't imagine not having by your side, you can just have bridesmaids, and not a maid of honor.
