**QOTD** 10/22/12
Hey ladies so excited to be bride of the week!! I tried looking up some old qotds so I don't do any repeats...sorry if any of my questions were asked already. Question for today:How many people are in your wedding party? Is there an equal amount of bridesmaids to groomsmen? Is your wedding party mostly family or friends or a combo?
My answer:
Fh has WAY more groomsmen than I do bridesmaids. I have 6 bridesmaids to his 12 groomsmen
He has a big group of friends that he grew up with since he was 6yrs old and it was important to him not to leave any of them out. Although, I dont love that it's not equal I'm just happy that all of our closest friends and family will be involved (and crossing my fingers it doesn't look too silly
) Our wedding party is mostly all friends except my moh who is my sister and fh's bm who is his brother. Thanks for making me bride of the week and hope everyone enjoys my questions!!

I have so many lol - I had the same issue as your FH. I have 2 MOH and 10 BM. He has 2 BM and 8 GM. So we are uneven too. No biggie. I am sending two girls with a guy, twice.We were even at one point, but then I did a last minute add on (one of my best friends is in med school and wasn't sure if she'd be able to make it but turns out she is) and I added my FH SIL (which I regret b/c she didn't even come to my shower and we barely even talk). Whatever, it didnt feel right having my SIL and not his.
