We just recently got engaged, but one of my biggest stresses already is figuring out the bridesmaid situation... My fiance' has 3 really close friends so I need at least 3 bridesmaids. Only problem is, I really don't have any close female friends. Believe me, I've tried building close female relationships but no one else seems to return the effort. I am very easy-going and easy to get along with so that is not the issue. I've even tried putting myself out there more since I am somewhat quiet and shy. I had a best friend all throughout high school and college but she has recently decided within the last couple of years that "we have gone our seperate ways", which is fine but it leaves me with really no one close. I have a few girlfriends but they're more the level of acquaintances still (no matter how hard I've tried). And my closest "acquaintance friend" is now moving back to her home state. I feel like asking these acquaintance to be my bridesmaids might be a bit awkward since we are still not close. I could use my fiance's friends' wives but I don't feel like it would be as exciting for me and might look bad to the guests (I don't want to look like I have no female friends, even if that is somewhat the truth). I don't have any sisters and using his sisters is not a good option. I only have one female cousin that lives across the country and we have never been close. I have a few male friends that I am closer to but that is not very traditional and a woman surrounded by men in pictures might not project the best image... I have tried everything and am trying not to be picky, but nothing seems like a good option. I feel kind of out of luck at this point!
