I just want to gush about how awesome my Bridal party is! We have a private FB group, just so that we don't have to have a million texts going around, and to have a unified place to talk logistics, etc. FI and I have not asked for any help for anything, and my MOH posted a message on the wall that she would like to help set up for the engagement party , and asked if anyone wanted to join, and they all said they would definitely help. My MOH also spoke with the GM, and they also said they wanted to help out. She then reached out to FMIL and offered to help with anything she needs from now until then.
On top of all that, I spoke to one of my BM's (my college roomate), and told her I understood that she and her bf would most likely not be able to attend, and not to think that I expect her to. They live in California, the party will be June 7th, and they are flying in the weekend of June 20th since her sister is having a baby. She said that she definitely wanted to celebrate with us and she was actually looking into flights. I told her that while I would love to have her here, she is totally not obligated because I know flights cross country are pricey, and she was adamant about attending. Well, she texted me this morning to tell me she found a flight, and will be making a red eye flight coming in that morning.
I knew my friends were awesome, but they are beyond amazing and I'm so happy to have them! I just wanted to gush about them because they rock! We bragged about our FI's yesterday - Let's brag about our awesome friends today
