MOH dilemma

nancyrn526

So I have two MOH's.....my best friend and my sister.  My sister and I don't always get along so I have the two of them sharing duties.  My bf has really gone out of her way to plan my shower, bachelorette party, and just to make sure that everything in general runs smoothly.  I'm just not sure who to have stand next to me during the wedding.  I know that both of them want to....my sister will throw a fit if she isn't picked.  I know my bf won't complain but she probably deserves it more.  Not sure what to do.  Suggestions?

My BFF had this problem when she got married with me and her sister.  She ended up putting her sister in the maid of honor spot and apologizing to me.  I didn't mind at all!  I didn't need our BFF status to be validated and I knew her sister would give her so much grief if she wasn't maid of honor.  It wasn't worth the hassle to either one of us!  Your best friend will understand, especially if she knows your sister.

[QUOTE]I think it'd be easier to explain to your friend that your sister will throw a shitfit if she doesn't get to stand next to you. I'm sure that your friend won't think that just because she isn't standing next to you means she isn't as important or you don't appreciate everything she's done.

Ditto!  Just because she isn't standing directly next to you doesn't mean that she doesn't mean as much to you as your sister.  You asked her to be a MOH which in itself is an honor.  I am sure your friend will understand that you want to try and keep the drama to a minimum.
