Sooo....

I 'bumped up' my 2 besties to my MOH's

1 is my cousin and I love her we have always been close
1 is my step sister of 24 years... again obvious

The other 7 lovely ladies are all very special to me for different reasons. I love them all.

MOH 1: is my best friend. I chose her because when I got diagnosed with cancer at 27 years old and was faced with having to lose my hair she told me I wouldn't have to do it alone and she followed thru and shaved her head with me. It was the most amazing act of kindness any of my friends have ever done for me. She was with me every step of the way and she is like a sister to me. I dont know where I would be without her.

MOH 2: is my aunt she is awesome. She is also like a sister to me. There is not a large span of age between us. We always hung out and did things together. She is very supportive and deserved to do more than a reading because of what she means to me.

One of my bm is my sister in law( my brothers wife).

Another one of my bm's is FH's sister.

Another bm is my best friend from college.

Another bm has been my friend since we were 11 years old we met in social studies in 7th grade and have been inseperable ever since.

My last bm is my cousin Jessica. We are the closest of my cousins and we have always been close.

3 brothers and 1 sister
5 first cousins
1 of my friends
6 of his friends

we picked them bc we had to lol..
dunzo

MOH- my BFF.... we've been friends for almost 21 years... I wouldn't walk down the aisle if she wasn't standing next to me.
BM1- my SIL (my only 'sister' for the past 16 years)
BM2- FHs SIL
BM3- FHs SIL
BM4- my friend for like 13 years

BstM- FBIL
GM1- my brother
GM2- FBIL
GM3-FBIL
GM4- my nephew/FH's godson

RB1- FHs nephew
RB2- FHs nephre
FG1- FHs niece
FG2- FHs niece

um... we wanted to make sure all siblings were in the BP, and neices and nephews, and of course my closest friends (FH is also best friends with my brother)

MOH is my BFF, love this girl so much, and I knew she'd be up for the task! She has great taste and a huge heart. Several people have told me that she is really going above and beyond for several things, esp my shower! Love her to pieces!!!

Then I have my sister, sister-in-law, and aunt.

I had 2 other girls who were 'friends'--- I thought we were close but it was the FH's best friends girls issue. Looking back in retrospect--- not a good idea, glad they're are out.

Best Man is FH's younger bro. He has 2 brothers, but is much closer to his younger.

Then he has his older brother, and 4 friends. One of them I found to be unnecessary. He barely talks to him anymore, and is on and off with either coke or steroids. But FH pulled the whole 'I've been friends with him since we were 6. I have to!' And this guy was hurt that another friend didn't have him in his BP so I think FH felt obliged to. Whatever.

FG is my little 4 yo cousin (aunt who is in BP daughter). I love this little girl to pieces!!!

RB is my younger nephew (also 4). My little munchkin!
