I've read a lot of advice on these forums and figured I would ask for advice on my own situation!
I have a friend, Friend A, that I lived with 2 years ago. Friend A, Friend B, and Friend C were all friends in college, and I knew of them, but I wouldn't say we were close friends in college. Friend A moved to another city after a year of us living together. I moved in with Friend B and Friend C, and we became close (especially because we lived together through covid).
Friend B and Friend C have since moved away as well, but they still come back to our hometown to see their families so I see them more frequently. Friend A recently came back to visit during the summer, and all 4 of us hung out together, but I just didn't feel as close to Friend A as I used to.
I want to ask Friend B and Friend C to be my bridesmaids, but I don't know if Friend A will feel left out. I'm definitely closer to Friend B and Friend C, and I wouldn't have asked Friend A if we didn't have these mutual ties. I kind of feel like if I do ask her, it'll be out of obligation and to avoid an uncomfortable conversation. She wouldn't be a bad bridesmaid, and it's not that I dislike her, I just don't know if it's worth it to ask because I feel bad and don't want to explain to her why she wasn't a bridesmaid.
Also, she's not engaged yet, but I don't think I would be her bridesmaid. I don't know if any of us would be her bridesmaids because she has really close friends from high school and her current city.
So, should I ask Friend A to be a bridesmaid?
