Tell me about your bridal party!

View Quoted Comment Same with my MOH though we met 12yrs ago and live in separate states now. People always say in college (and even now) we are a packaged deal. You don’t get one without the other!

My "bridal" party only contains one person--my Man of Honor. He's my gay best friend since freshman year in college

I do have 2 younger sisters, but one will actually be playing the piano during the ceremony, and the other--well, let's just say she's a liability.

As a woman in engineering, the vast majority of my friends are male and I have never really had a female best friend. I seem to repel a lot of non-engineering women. The cost of being my weird self, I guess.

My matron of honor is my sister! We weren’t ever close but she asked me to be her maid of honor for her wedding and it really brought us together. My FH told her he was proposing to me first, which was super risky because she sucks at keeping secrets lol. She’s been going through a lot, so my FH thought telling her first and bringing her ring shopping would be a good way to make her happy

BM 1: my best friend since we were babies. We don’t get to see each other often. She went to school in Idaho and is now living in Wyoming, but when we finally get to see each other it’s the best! She is so loyal and kind, and she’ll be the best BM ever. We’ve been talking about our weddings since we were young 🧡

BM 2: my moms goddaughter and my godmothers daughter. She’s not blood but she’s definitely family and I’m so happy she’ll be able to celebrate with me!

BM3: my bff from high school! I also don’t get to see her often because she’s in the military, but I know she will always be there for me and vice versa.

BM4: my best friend from law school. We have only know Each other about 2 years now but she is such a great support system and I am lucky to have her with me on my big day.

My flower girl in heaven is my niece👼🏼 I wish she could physically be there, but she will be there in our hearts.

My MOH- is my bestfriend for life, we have been bestfriends for 23 years at 3 year's old so of course that was a given

BM1- My older cousin, she gave me a deadline to get married because she said she didnt want to be an old bridesmaid I just made it lol

BM2- my little sister
BM3- my coworker but I've known her for three years and we're super close and funny story we got proposed to five months apart and I'm in her wedding as well.

I wish I could have two more my other cousin and good friend but so far my fiance only have three friends and I dont want it to be to uneven

Omg!! I’m struggling with that now and I have nothing but wonderful people In my life and I guess someone will be mad because I can’t invite everyone!!! So I prayed on it!! Hope your selection goes well!

overall the wedding party was great until the wedding lol but we still love them and it was nice to see them for so many days since a lot of them came from far away.

This is so much fun!!

Maid Of Honor - Best friend and fellow FA. Literally the person I go to for everything in life when it comes to advice, support and a good time.

Man Of Honor - My Twinsie!! We met in FA training almost 6 years ago and are 3 days apart in age. Literally my second half and knows what I'm thinking before I do!! He is proposing to his long time partner soon and we are all so excited!!

Junior BM - My daughter who will be 11 at wedding time and literally my mini-me.

BM1 - My best friend from high school (17 years and counting) she lives in Michigan still with her family and we have always kept in touch and close.

BM2-3 - Fellow FA classmates and also based together in DC for the last 6 years. I cannot imagine my career or my life without either one of these ladies, we have been through all the up's and downs' of life and been there for each other through it all.

BM4 - Fellow FA who was one of the first people I met when I was based here, she was also a single mom at the time and we instantly clicked. She is getting married in April 2020!!

BM5 - Fellow FA who is the newest addition to my life, the second I met her on her first trip (EVER) I knew we would be friends for the long run. We are going on 2 years of friendship now and I really don't know where the time has gone.

BM6 - LOL Another FA...do y'all see how small our circle of friends is?? This amazing lady is the personification of live your best life and love/embrace those around you. What can I say, she is the person who will give you the HARDEST love when you need to hear it and I treasure her honesty and spirit.

Lady in Waiting - You guessed it, another FA. This one came into my life like a rocket ship of happiness, optimism, hope and all things VEGAN. She literally works as an imitation princess/fairy at birthday parties in her spare time. This girl is a ray of sunshine.

These are just the official title members. I have so many closer than family friends coming to our wedding weekend and being involved in all the little events leading up to the big day. I'm grateful for my airline family.

YES we have a big bridal party. It's going to be a zoo, but I love the zoo I created around me and wouldn't have it any other way.

That's really sweet how your fiance involved your sister! Mine told my best friend and my sister when he was going to propose and sent them both pics of the ring. Neither gave me any hints and I was 100% surprised when he proposed!

Matron of Honor: My older sister

BM 1: Best friend from college

BM 2: Another close friend from college

BM 3: Close friend that I met through group exercise

Matron of Honor #1: My older sister. Never had a doubt that she'd be standing by my side at my wedding just as I did at hers. She lives out of state as an Air Force spouse and her oldest son will be our ring bearer.

Matron of Honor #2: My best friend of 5 years. She knew me before I met my FH and has been there for us both throughout our entire relationship. She lives in state which has been helpful for sure.

Bridesmaid #1 & #2: My two closest cousins. We've all been incredibly close since we were little kids and have only grown closer as we got older. They both live out of state but since they're family it's so easy to stay in touch.

My Maid of Honor was my college roommate and best friend. She is also the girlfriend of the best man, who was my husband's college roommate.

The other three bridesmaids were some of my closest friends, all of whom I met doing theatre including one who is my makeup/hairstylist.
