Who does that

So on March 26th 2011 Nick my soon to be hubby asked if i would marry him. Of course I said yes ( I waited 7 yrs for him to ask). So like any super excited bride to-be I text, emailed and call everyone we could think of. On my moms side I only have one persons phone number. That would be my cousin Sara. So I called her up to tell her the news and to see if she would pass along the great news. Well like 3 weeks later we were both on Facebook. She sends me a message and is like how is my favorite cousin in the whole wide world? I was like I'm good. How are you? Before she says anything else. She says if you don't already have your bridesmaids pick out I will be happy to stand up for you meaning we have always been close. I was so shocked that she would just come out and ask that. For one I already do my my girls picked out and for two I need thought of us as that close. The last time I had talked to her was like 6 months before that and even longer before that. Also if we were really that close why wasn't I asked to be in ether of her 2 wedding? I don't know I just thought it was kind of rude for her to say that and kind of try and push her way in. She also lives 3 hours away from me even if we were to have her in the wedding she would have to travel a lot to get her with her 4 kids. It would be just to crazy for me. I think im done venting lol.

    Yeah that's an akward situation.  I would just tell her that you haven't thought of your WP yet and leave it at that.  Maybe you could ask her to be a reader or something else  to avoid drama?

    Yeah....that was pretty rude and presumptuous of her. In the meantime, you can say you haven't made any decisions yet, but will keep her in mind.

    I wouldn't even mention keeping her in mind if you have no intention of asking her.  No need to get her hopes up.  As PPs have said, let her know that since your wedding is still 14 months away, you won't be making any decisions any time soon.  Don't talk wedding stuff with her either, but since you said you don't speak with her often, that probably won't be a problem.

    I think it's nice that she is willing to stand up for you.  She may just be really excited about your wedding, but it was strange how she brought it up.  Let it roll off your shoulders.

    That's very forward. Some people are just that way. I'm sorry you had to deal with that right away.

    That is kinda uncofortable.  I agree with above...just tell her you haven't really thought about the wedding party yet and don't talk wedding with her.  Since you guys aren't close, maybe contact between you guys will be  very sparse and you won't have to worry about it.  Having her as a reader or something is a good idea.

    I agree with julbgordo. I would tell her you have already decided. No need to drag it out. She won't forget and you might as well be honest with her. Good luck!

    That's really forward! I've had someone who I didn't even recognize (a friends parent who I met once years ago) say that they couldn't wait for the wedding and give me their address for the invitation, and I thought that was crazy. But offering to be in the wedding is a little much! I agree that you should be honest, and then not talk about the wedding in front of her.
