Hi!
I'm going to sound like such a loser, but I don't really have much in the way of close friends. Not just female friends, but friends. I have a lot of friends, but none of them really close. Part of this is because I have moved around so much in my life. I have friends from my childhood who I lost touch with when I moved away to college, I have friends from college who I lost touch with when I moved to my current city, and I have some friends here, but not really any that I have a long, deep connection with. Because this situation is so weird, I'm basically going to pick my best female friend from each stage of my life, and then have my FI's sister. Fine, all that works out.
But what about the toast? My FI has friends he's been tight with for 10+ years, he and his cousins are really close. He could have toasts for days - and he deserves them! But all of my life is cut into compartments, and I have connections with some people for only about 5 years before I moved far away. So I'm not sure who could get up and give a toast about me. I'd rather not have one, but I know that will look SO WEIRD if I don't, and it'll make me seem kind of sad - and likely make me kind of sad.
So I could really use some advise. Thanks so much!
P.S. I don't really have any relatives that could do it either. We're a small family that's not very close.
