I guess you gals are the only people I can talk to.

Am I the only person who dosent have a Best friend, or alot of girlfriends? I dont even know if I can have a bridal party, because I have too many sisters, and cant ask them all, but dont have enough friends. Im really sad about this. I feel like such a jerk.

I wish I had a sister....I have 2 brothers. I am jealous of my friends who have their sister as their MOH.

Guys have such different friendships with each other than women do.

Many of the girls who were my friends are no longer my friends because they were just not nice people. They were not true friends.

I am greatful for the few true friends that I have.

I did have people I could ask, but chose to only have a MOH and Best Man. I really liked that our bridal party was small (tiny actually) and it made it more intimate and special (and a lot less expensive to boot!) As long as you have people who are important to you standing up for you, it doesn't matter how many there are or what their gender is.

Honestly, it's your wedding and your day. Think of the poeople you want to be involved the most and then try to narrow from there. I am having a MOH and 2 BMs. My MOH is my sister so that wasn't hard, but I had to choose between some close friends to get the BMs down to too.

Re: I feel like such a loser

I am definitely in this boat as well I was just discussing this with FH the other day. I HATE not having a best friend. I feel like I have always had someone, one chick, that I could call anytime to do anything. All through HS and college and now I barely keep in contact with anyone.

I don't have a problem with my bridal party because my sister (who I am not even that close with) is my MOH and I have 3 cousins who I grew up with (that I barely see anymore and have changed for the worse) alog with 1 friend.

I just miss having a best friend sometimes

Re: I feel like such a loser

I don't feel super close with that many girls either... it is all about quality over quantity!!

Im only having my MOH (FI's sis) and one girlfriend!

What is really the point of having bridesmaids anyway... in all the weddings I have been in (family weddings), I have never seen the bridesmaids do anything except show up in a dress the day of. Are they just there to make your pics look pretty?

Re: I feel like such a loser

i dont have a best friend either, dont feel bad! but i would think that you would have to choose all of your sisters, or one to be the maid of honor, the one who feels like having that responsibility?

Re: I feel like such a loser

I wish I could give you all a giant hug. You guys made me feel so much better about this.

You girls really are the best.

Re: I feel like such a loser

I'm glad you feel better...and now you see that it is pretty normal.

Re: I feel like such a loser

Don't feel bad. I'm having a MOH and that's it. I have only a couple of close female friends. The only other person I'd ask to be in my bridal party is taking photographs at my wedding. I don't have any sisters either.

So...you are not a loser OR a jerk!

Same here! I think its easier and nicer. AS you get older you really don't have 'best' friends. I have some close friends but most of them of still living in NY and we aren't as close. So you are NOT a loser!
