Who Would You Pick? (long)

So I am having a hard time choosing from my brides maids who will be my MOH. Let me prefrece that I love all these girls and they are so dear to me that is what makes it so hard to choose.

BM 1 - Known since 3rd grade. Has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Though doesn't always gives her friends much of her time lately especially if there is a guy in her life that she is obessed over (which there is, who is completely horrible). She just seems a little stuck back when we were in high school and hasn't grown up and that isn't fully her fault because she still lives at home, works two jobs, trying to finish school (slowly) and her parents are wacked out divorce.  I love her and thought she would be my MOH but her behavior lately with her bad dating life and never returing friends calls etc I have been questioning whether she would be responsible enough and actually want to be my MOH. 

BM 2 - Also known since 3rd grade. Was crazy in high school and we fell apart for a few years but now we are great friends again. She has been super supportive and always offered help in any form for the wedding. She has grown up a lot over the years. Went with my mom and I dress shopping, but I never imagined her as my MOH. I love her trust me.

BM 3 - Know since the first day of high school.  Is very shy at first around new people (she claims I brought her out of her shell in high school). She now is studying at the American University of Paris in France but graduates in the Spring. I think she might get nervous giving a speech in front of a group of people though.

BM4- Known since the first day of College. We lived together for two years and is one the nicest / smartest people I know. She also has amazing calligraphy skills (which I might pay her to help me write my envelopes) and one the best writers I know. which I know she would do an amazing MOH speech for us. She is recetnly married. She also knows my FI the best out the girls since I met him in college and he was around her a lot when we were dating.

like I said I love them all so much I don't know who to pick. They are all so great to me and support me. I wish I didn't have to pick anyone but I do because people expect a MOH and a MOH speech etc, plus there is already a BM.  HELP!  I need some other people's perspectives.

TIA

    Obviously,  this is on a completely non-personal level since we don't know your friends, but just by what you've written, I would probably pick friend #4, if not, then #3.   That's always a tough decision- Good Luck!

    #4!

    She seems to be the only one who will really understand what its like to plan a wedding and want to help u every step of the way, give you marital advice, wedding advice (since shes been there). Plus, its just and extra bonus that she has skills in calligraphy ;) And she knows FI the best, and would be best at speeches.

    Whats not to love about # 4?! haha if you dont use her, i will. hahah jk

    Aileen - thanks it is supposed to be completely no-personal I need non-partial opinions :)

    jj- haha she is awesome.  The thing is  I don't want friends upset cause I've known her the least amount of time.

    I think I'd go with the other girls and pick #4 because she understands the relationship between you and your FI. I am not having a MOH though. My two sisters are my BMs and any duties will be shared between them, I can't choose between the two. Then again, we are having a fairly informal wedding and skipping alot of the traditional things. Good luck!

    Well, speaking from personal experience. I chose my sister and MOH and three of my old high school friends as BM's. None of them are relationships/ever been engaged or married. and none of them have done crap to help me out. They are absolutley clueless when it comes to wedding. Because of this, I'm pretty sure they wont plan a Bachelorette party and/or bridal shower bc they don't have a clue. Im not close to these girls anymore bc we drifted apart. I could kick myself now, bc if I ould do it all ver I would have chosen the friends I am closest to now who understand my and FH and who are also engaged or married and are more understanding and have been helping me out more then the BM's and MOH. lol

    So, just a little something to think about. Sure, it's nice to choose friends that you've known the longes,t but if u aren't as close NOW....and feel closer to someone new....I'd use them,

    The thing is  I am super close to all these girls, we talk to each other every week and they have all now met my FI but only BM 4 really knows him. I know she would give a great speech and wants to be there for things but she lives a super busy live in merrit island her husband just got shipped away for officer training and she is working and decided to get her a second degree now. Sadly BM 4 MOH (sister) never threw her a party and the rest of us BM couldn't do anything because we all live out of state and she didn't tell us about the bridal shower that her MIL threw her till I found out on facebook. I gave her a bridal shower gift at the rehersal dinner because I felt so bad we weren't there. 

     BM 1 and 2 both live in Orlando still which is why they'd be great in helping set up things there for parties etc.

    I wish I didn't have to choose anyone and they all already know that this is a hard decision for me because of the lenght of time and relationships I have established.
