Very Wedding Related - I have GREAT news!

You may remember that I asked a question a few weeks ago - wondering whether there was someone in your life that you didn't ask, but wish you did to be in your bridal party.

My story is that I have a friend from kindergarten. She lived around the corner from me all our lives. She is literally my oldest friend.

For various reasons, I believed that she couldn't/didn't want to be apart of my wedding so I did not ask her. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

For the past month, I have been really upset everytime I would hang out with her - I'd look at her and be like... (in my head) 'Why are you NOT in my wedding?'

I talked to my MOH about it, with my mom, with FH and last night - in the middle of our favorite bar - I told her that if I would have loved to have her as a BM if it wasn't for my belief that she couldn't/didn't want to do it.

Well, I was blown away. She told me she was wondering why I hadn't asked. She's so into it and she is not an overly emotional person but here we were laughing, hugging and (ok, just me) crying in the middle of the bar!

I explained everything and she said that she really wanted to be in it! She was so giddy (and so was I!)

just had to bump and say that the last few days with my new BM has been awesome! closer than before and I am just excited! woo-hoo!

but i'm getting the 'your bridal party is HUGE' comments!!! whatever!!! love it.

I have 12 BMs!!! That's huge - people give me the disapproving nod all the time, but I like to think of it as a testament to so many good friends!!

I guess the moral of the story is that you should always follow your heart and take a leap sometimes cause people will surprise you!

That is a great ending to the story...I am so happy you asked her and you made her feel so good and she was waiting. That is great and what a nice thing to share between the two of you. Good Luck and happy planning with your new BP...Did I see you said 9?
