Well I was inspiried by the "Oh no, she asked me to be a bridesmaid" thread and thought I''d ask you all your opinion on this...
My best friend is going to be my maid of honor (I haven''t finalized the whole wedding party, so there haven''t been formal invites yet, but we''re already talking about planning). Her sister and I are also good friends. But...at her sister''s wedding, I heard her sister specifically say that she would never want to be a bridesmaid in anyone''s wedding. For her own wedding, they each only had 1 attendant, her sister (my MOH) was her MOH and her groom had a friend as a BM.
The issue is that I would LOVE for her to be in my wedding, and I don''t really know if she actually meant what she said (and perhaps would be hurt if I didn''t ask her?). I don''t want to put her in the awkward situation of "OMG, I can''t believe she asked me to be her bridesmaid and now I have to come up with a way to tactfully decline", but I also don''t want to dismiss asking her just because of one random comment a few years ago.
What would you suggest?
