My Bridesmaids

I chose my bridesmaids this week. This is a big deal. I felt like I was proposing to them. I cannot imagine how nervous Boy Wonder was! I was a wreck, and I've known these girls for most of my life. I still have one left to ask, so hopefully that turns out well :). I can't say that I would be ok if one of them couldn't do it... but I would understand. Bridesmaid is a big job! I'm not expecting everything and the moon. In fact I mostly just want some back up, to have people I love and trust up there with me so if I fall over they will pick me up and tell me its ok and then poke fun at me about it later.

I know I've picked the right girls for the job. I've pretty much had them picked out since high school, not formally, but I think I always knew who would be with me up there.

Now here's the kicker...Maid of Honor. My fiance wants to have a Best Man so I feel like I have to have a maid of honor. I just can't choose. I don't really HAVE a best friend. They are all my best friends. Most of them have been friends for a very long time. They all have sisters (the pre-ordained maid of honors), and I don't so that makes it harder. I was going to ask my brother to be my man-of-honor, but Boy Wonder wanted to ask him to be groomsman. Somehow I think my traditional brother would be more flattered by the latter, so he will be a groomsmen :). Also, BW is all about symmetry so having an uneven bridal party (way more on my side then his) would make him crazy.

Really one doesn't need a maid of honor, because the only things they need to do is sign the registry. Its nota huge thing I guess, but there name is on our marriage. Perhaps I will ask my mother instead.
