Picking a party

in Wedding Party
I am stuck between a rock and a hard spot right now. I do not have a lot of really close friends and no real best friend. I am having trouble deciding who to have as my bridesmaids. My fiancé and I have decided on having 2 each. I'm thinking about asking my cousin to be my maid of honor, since we have been pretty close all our lives. Then I just don't know what to do for my other bridesmaid. I really just talk to the girls at work ( I work with all girls) then go home and just catch up with my fiancé. I have a little sister, but she will only be 10. I have 1 girlfriend that I would have said we were pretty close and she would have been a no brainier to pick her, but she recently got engaged, is getting married before me, and did not ask me to be part of her wedding party. So I don't want to ask her,but not be in her wedding 2 months before mine, that would be weird wouldn't it?

    You can have a 10 year old bridesmaid. Your sister might get a total kick out of it. Wedding parties also dont' have to be tit for tat, so it would be fine to have this friend, too. 
    You can also stick with just the cousin. Or have all three. Wedding parties don't have to be even at all.

    If the friend is a no brainer to you, I would say ask her. It sounds like you are a little hurt that you weren't asked to be in her wedding, and that's ok to be hurt. Just don't let it stop you from having her in yours if that's what you want. 

    You also still have some time, so take the time to really think about it if you need it. I'm glad I didn't choose immediately because it took me about a month to really figure it out. I had some drama enter into my life, and it suddenly made perfect sense who I should ask when it was natural to me as to who to go to for advice.

    You don't need to have even sides, and you can choose your sister.  She doesn't have to sign your marriage certificate, and while she's not old enough to go to any 21-and-over places, you don't have to do things at those places.

    PPs have pretty well covered this, but you don't have to stick with girls either if your closest friends are guys. I have two "Men of Honor" because as Retread says, that's who I'd call at 3 am to get rid of a body.
