Well, I just got engaged this weekend and already have a problem!
A friend of mine also got engaged this weekend and asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! Which I am excited about and very much looking forward to.
The problem is that I wasn''t planning to ask her to be a bridesmaid in my own wedding and I''m very worried that she will be hurt. It''s hard because when she asked me, she mentioned that she felt like I was like sister to her and even though we don''t spend much time together anymore, she doesn''t feel that we have grown apart in the least. She is an old friend that I grew up going to church with and we were very close in high school. We went to colleges that were 8+ hours apart and now 8 years later, we probably only see each other once around the holidays and once in the summer. I hate feeling like I am ranking my friends because its not that I DON''T want her to be in the wedding party. But I was planning to ask my sister, FI''s sister, my college roommate, and my 3 cousins (so, mostly family). I kind of preferred to have a wedding party on the smaller side and 6 is really pushing it as it is!
So I''m not sure if I should just make it 7, replace one of the others with her, or just stick to my original plan. I know that no one can really answer this for me, I''m just thinking out loud!
