One of my closest friends recently asked me to be a bridesmaid. She was a little worried I would be upset she didn't ask me to be MOH (we met in our 20s, and she asked one of her childhood friends) but I truly am just happy to be part of her day and do whatever she needs.
When she asked me, she talked about how this was no reflection on who she cared about more, and between us, she believed her friend would've been upset if she had not been asked to be MOH. She explained since her MOH lives in Georgia, she'd like me to help with some of the more traditional MOH tasks...in terms of preparation and it was implied financially if needed. She also said her MOH (who I don't know as well) would probably get a little upset and might feel like her toes are being stepped on, but she just wanted things to go smoothly and maybe I should reach out to her to start on a good note.
I want her to have the best day possible, but I also feel a little awkward about the whole thing. She's getting married in Illinois in November 2016, and would like to do a traditional shower and bachelorette trip to Austin, so there will be lots of planning involved on our end. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!
