So, maybe this is a snotty thing to think about, but part of me is really kind of nervous that my maid-of-honor-to-be won't think to organize a bridal shower, or that no one will care to throw an engagement party, or such and such things. This is mostly just a 'dump my nerves somewhere' post, so I hope no one minds.
Basically, my best friend is going to be my maid of honor. She's never been in a wedding party before, so I don't know if she knows that planning a shower or even a bachelorette party is kind of a wedding party thing to do, although I do understand that not everyone has them. I know bridesmaids can plan those things too, not just the maid of honor, and that would theoretically calm my nerves a bit--my two sisters are going to be bridesmaids, and my oldest sister is married, so she definitely knows about this stuff--but I'm kind of afraid that my sisters are going to be really mad at me that neither of them are the maid of honor. I mean, I get that a lot of the time it's a sister who's normally given that role, but my best friend is closer to me than either of my sister's, and she's who I really want standing up there beside me. And it's my day, so shouldn't I get to choose who I want, not choose someone because that person might throw a hissy fit if they aren't picked?
I guess I shouldn't care about bridal showers or things like that. I just...I really want to have the whole experience. I've never really gotten a chance to be a girly girl, so it would be nice to do it all for once. I don't even care about getting gifts--for any parties or the wedding, for that matter--I just want to have the experience.
