Firstly, congratulations to all the recently married or about to be married couples out there. Excited to join this community and share this exciting time with you all
I'm down to choosing my last bridesmaid but I am having a hard time deciding. There is two people I have in mind for the last bridesmaid spot but I have been going back and forth for the last month. Basically one of them is a close friend who I have known for decades. We have been through so much together over the years, travelling, school, countless nights out. During my young adulthood she was my fun friend and we were irresponsibile together. However, over the last few years I've really matured and settled down. She is still the same. I really worry about this persons reliability. They are always late, does not follow through with what they say they will do ever and is really hard to trust with any big responsibility. They are also a flight risk financially as she is a bit reckless with her money and has cancelled some recent meetups over lack of money. A good friend but a very immature one.
On the other hand I have another friend who I am not as close with and haven't shared anywhere near the past of the other person, but she is is very mature and very responsible. We don't see each other often but whenver we do we always have a nice time.
I definitely want to include one of them. Which one is the question.
Do I go with the closer friend who I have had many memories with but is unreliable or the reliable friend who is just a friend? My heart says the closer friend as we have been through a lot together. But my my mind says the reliable friend as they can be trusted more and probably won't cause me any stress leading upto the big day. Help me please!
Thank you!
