'm struggling deciding who I should choose for my maid of honor. I know that standardly it is right to pick family, but I wanted to get everyone’s opinion...
There will be 5 on each side and the groom to be has his brother as his best man. I will have my sister in law, sister in law to be, 2 friends from college and my cousin. Growing up, I was always super close to my cousin, and the two friends have basically been my two best friends for the last 10 years. As time has gone on... the relationship with one of the friends has become a touch less involved... live far away from each other and going different directions in life. We are still GREAT friends but just not as strong as in the past. The other friend lives close by, and we see each other often and are in very similar places in life and have the same visions for the future... then my cousin, she is far away as well, and recently had a baby. She and I are still close, but her time is obviously focused on her new family.
I really want to have my friend who lives nearby as the MOH but I'm worried about hurting the other friend, and possibly my cousin. I think my cousin will understand whole heartedly, but I don't know if the other friend will...
What are your thoughts.....
