Ok, I have a dilemma and need some advice!
Originally, my FI said he only wanted to have five attendants each. He thought seven was too big, but we couldn't do six because he'd be choosing between two really good friends for that last spot, so he just made them ushers and we stayed with five. But now, one of those two friends can't attend the wedding, so potentially he could add the other to the groomsmen list to make it six.
I reallly wanted the FI of our best man to be a bridesmaid, but my other bridesmaids (besides my sister) were kinda in pairs (from the same groups of friends, if i ask one, would be awkward not to ask the other), so I asked her to be in the house party instead.
So the question is, now that the number of groomsmen works, is there any way to ask this girl to be a bridesmaid without making her feel like she's "second string". That really wasn't the situation AT ALL, it was just how it worked out, and she is a dear friend who I really don't want to hurt.
Any advice on how to approach this? Or should I just leave it the way it is?
