he I only plan to have four girls stand up with me. I'm having trouble deciding on who to pick as my maid of honor, and thought maybe somone on here might be able to give me a little help.
In no particular order....the first person I'm considerirng is a long time friend. I've known her since grade school. She had picked me to be her MOH for her wedding which should have happened earlier this summer. Unfortunately, her and her fiance broke up last winter. She still seems to be in the healing process, and I'm not sure how she feel about the wedding. We've only been able to talk a little bit since the engagement, and she seems a little excited, but I'm not entirely sure yet.
The second person is a friend I've known since high school. She's very dear to me, and just recently tied the knot on her second marriage. I was lucky enough to be a part of her special day as her MOH. She is more than excied about my day, and even tried to help me plan before her wedding even took place (I got engaged two weeks before her wedding), but I managed to change the subject to her wedding until after it was over. She has already told me she doesn't care who I pick to be my MOH, and that even if she isn't picked she still plans to do everything the MOH is supposed to do (especially if it doesn't get done by the MOH).
The third is my sister. My only sister. I know she would be the right person to ask, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. My sister and I have never been very close, nor do we tend to like the same things. We are polar opposites on just about every level there is. She also has a dislike for my fiance, and she hasn't spent more than an hour with him total. Which with the history I have with my sister, I'm ok with.
I know it "should" be her, and it would hurt less peoples feelings since they would just figure "ok, it's her sister, that makes sense", but I want the person who is my "right hand man" to be happy for this. I just want to limit the amount of negativity around me on my special day.
Any suggestions?
