My mother tells me traditionally the oldest sister/brother is the MOH/best man. FI definitely is asking his brother.
My problem: I have four in my bridal party. Best friend 1, Best friend 2 (both best friends for very different reasons), sister, cousin.
Best friend 1 is getting married exactly 8 weeks before me. I am MOH. She is also in a very time-consuming nursing program and it will be her 2nd to last semester during my wedding. So her own wedding/honeymoon/showers+nursing school=Not alot of time to do MOH-type stuff. But I feel like she will definitely have her feelings hurt if I don't ask her since I am her MOH.
Sister is 6 years older than me and we are very close. I was not MOH at her wedding, only because I was 16 and we have another sister who is older than I. She just graduated from medical school and is in a residency program that is not TOO time consuming. She also gave birth to her first child 4 weeks ago.
So who do I ask? Do I go with tradition and explain it that way to best friend 1? Or do I ask best friend 1 and risk her not having time for my wedding on top of everything else?
