My best friend (who lives in Arizona...there's another dilemma altogether) is going to be my maid of honor. No questions. I just don't know what to do about bridesmaids...
I'm a teacher. I'm part of an incredibly close-knit group of teacher-friends - I mean, we know so much about each other that we could never not be friends, you know? There are six of us including me, and we do practically everything together. The rest of the school calls us "the lunch bunch" (we are all on the same hallway and eat lunch together every day), and the principal calls us his work wives! I can't imagine not having them around.
Problem is, I can't picture myself with that many bridesmaids (bridesmatrons? They're all married except one, who's divorced). My wedding isn't going to be gigantic, and I don't necessarily want to have a large bridal party. I'm also not sure I can just ask one or two of my friends without hurting everyone else's feelings, either. Anybody have any advice?
