So I have my maid of honor on board. I called three of my close college friends to ask them to be bridesmaids. They all live together in Maryland (I'm in Michigan), so I decided to ask them all at once so no one would be hurt they weren't asked first or hear about it from someone else. So I talked to all three on speaker phone on Tuesday and asked them to be my bridesmaids. The first response was "Awwww...." followed by an awkward silence. I thought maybe it was a phone issue so I said "are you there?' They were, they said they were honored but said they had to "think about it".
I've never heard of anyone saying this before. I understand that it will involve travelling on their part, however, they are all from Michigan and often visit home that time of the year anyway. Its in July and we are all teachers so it's not a matter of taking time off.
It's Saturday and still no response from any of them. It's driving me crazy. What should I do?
