moh dilemma

Kristin, on September 16, 2019 at 1:27 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 4
Complicated issue here so please have patience. I have a younger sister whom growing up we were never really close. I have a cousin whom I watched grow up over the last 10 years ( I moved from MI to AZ which is where they lived) and initially thought about making them co- MOH’s. When I first got engaged and told my cousin, immediately she sent a text that if I made her a MOH, she doesn’t have any money to do anything (she’s 21). That annoyed me a little bc it’s not just about money but I also feel her mother (my aunt) said something. Long story short my mom and my aunt are currently not speaking to one another. Since I live in same state as my aunt, the couple of times we’ve gotten together she’s been so negative. I love my cousin but at 21, she basically follows what my aunt says. Idk if I should skip the drama and just go with my sister or go ahead and try to make them co-MOH’s.

    Kristy..... I say go with your sister and skip the "Drama" at that age she is still needs time to grow into her own and in your own words you said your aunt is being negative..... you dont want that to pour into your cousin and cause a issue with you and your cousin. Going with your sister is a better option and make the cousin a bridesmaid at the least that way technically she doesn't have responsibilities as a maid of honor.

    Hey there, Kristin!

    I'm sorry you're torn on what to do. It's a tricky situation.

    Do you think your cousin actually wants to be a MOH? As she reached out to you to say that before you asked her, I would personally take it that she didn't want to be asked.

    Would it make you sad not to have her as a co-MOH? Would you consider asking her to be a bridesmaid? That way she would still be a part of the big day Smiley smile
