So I am planning to have 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen. My Fiance has his guys picked and ready to go but I'm struggling with picking my last bridesmaid.
I was considering picking my Fiance's childhood friend. They are close and he even mentioned she would have been in his bridal party if she was a boy. She is married and we have been on several couples trips with them, but I've only hang out with her while we are doing couple outings, never doing our own thing. She also does not really know the other girls in the bridal party. However, she was also there the night we got engaged and I'm sure our friendship will grow even more over the years. Would it be weird to ask her to be a bridesmaid? (I have a close friend that I'm making a matron of honor)
I have another potential bridesmaid thats my actual friend (not a bff) that would love to do it but I think she will be more trouble than its worth. She is sometime very opinionated and doesn't like to spend alot of money. I can see her complaining when things aren't going the way she thinks they should and I really don't want to be stressed because of bridesmaids. So I'm trying to pick the most easy going and stress free group of girls as possible.
I also have a childhood friend (since 5th grade and we are 28 now) that I would have loved to have been in my wedding but we haven't really spoke in a few years (other than a few text here and there). Nothing bad happened just been busy with life. We recently got together and it was like old times but I thought this might be weird just because we sort of drifted apart and not sure where she stands as far as being responsible and reliable.
What would you do?
