so todays question, how much do you love me??!! HAH just kidding
So lets see what todays question should be (i didnt think it would be this hard to think of different questions everyday!!)
Why did you pick the girls for your bridal party? If you could give any advice to someone who isnt sure of how to pick/ask what would you tell them?

Re: QOTD 6/14
I chose girls who have always been there for me. My Best Friend is my MOH, one is my friend from Law School, we have been friends since 1st year. One has been my friend since I moved to NY, and one I have become close to over the past year.
My advice is, think of who you would want to stand beside you, who you know will be there for you, and think about who you feel is closest to you

Re: QOTD 6/14
i chose my sister as my MOH, my cousin and FH's cousin as my BM's... i decided to pick only family members in order to avoid the drama w/ friends, as i would prob pick one over others (ex, close friends vs not as close) and they would be upset, and i don't want to deal with that!
i would say really think about picking your BM's, they are going to be part of your special day and in all your pics, etc. so make sure they really mean something to you!

Re: QOTD 6/14
well i only have 2 in my party. My SIL as my MOH and my friend as my BM. I don't have many female friends but these 2 I've been through thick and thin with and we've only gotten closer.
I don't want to add people just to have a bigger BP. FH is going to have quite a few Gm but I don't care. These are the only 2 I truly want by my side.

Re: QOTD 6/14
I have a little bit of a circus going on. I have 1 MOH and 7 bridesmaids. One of my bridesmaids was an involuntary decision which I'm not particularly happy about but dealing with it for the sake of peace within the family. I'm not a person with many friends, always been that way and always will be that way! So my 6-7 bridesmaids are pretty much my only friends. It just seemed natural having them all in the wedding. I'm looking forward to having them all by my side on the big day.

Re: QOTD 6/14
I chose one of my sisters as my MOH, my other sister as a BM and my 2 cousins as BMs. I'm keeping it to family only.
My advice is to not just pick people that have always been there for you, but pick those that are willing to be there for you 200% during the next 2 years. You'll need all the help you can get so it will help to have girls you can count on by your side!!

My MOH is my best friend from High School. My BMs are my sister, 2 cousins, & room mate from college.
My advice: FAMILY FIRST!! They'll always be there for you!

Re: QOTD 6/14
I'm picking my friend Eileen and my sister in law Nancy. I dont have a lot of girlfriends. I wasn't in Nancy's bridal party but I think its only right that shes in mine.
I don't necessarily think you have to ask family. I think you have to do what you want and not worry about what anyone else thinks.

Re: QOTD 6/14
Well I dont have any sisters, or cousins, and fh doesnt have any sisters...so I picked my best friend to be my MOH, and the other girls are my friends. I still have 2 more to ask...But my advice to girls would be to not ask people until the wedding gets closer! It avoids a lot of problems!

Re: QOTD 6/14
I would say in the way of advice, don't pick someone to just fill a spot. Make sure they mean something to you and will be there for the long run.

Re: QOTD 6/14
I picked my sister as my MOH because she's my sister and my best friend and will be helping me plan the whole way through. One bm is my cousin, and my other bm's are fh's sister and his sister in law. We are having all family members in the bridal party, this way friends can't be mad that they were not chosen over others

Re: QOTD 6/14
My MOH is my best friend since we were 6. I am not having any bridesmaids. I was in MOHs wedding last year as a BM, however, she has sisters and I'm an only child so she's my MOH. FH is only have a best man. We didn't want to fill spots for the sake of filling so we stuck with this. It's working for us.

Re: QOTD 6/14
my MOH is my best friend since 6th grade, and my BM are my soon to be sister in law (brothers fiance) my FSIL, my friend from middle school, and one of my friends from work.
I would tell someone that it not sure how to pick, to do family first. cause they will always be your family and be there. i would make sure that the firends are supportive and helpful. they have to be people you want to spend time with.
