Always a bridesmaid.....

[Glenda]

Well girls, here's a new one. I've been asked to consider being in another wedding. One of my friends has asked me to be her Maid of Honor. Wow. She is moving to upstate New York and is planning on getting married this summer. She has no family and says that I'm her best friend. She wants me to help her get ready before the wedding. I told her I would consider it but that she should decide whether one of her other (girl)friends would be better. I don't believe her fiance would object, but I'm not sure about his parents and relatives. It might seem a little too liberal in their minds and I wouldn't want her to start a marriage in which her inlaws might be critical of her. What would you do?

My SO is having a "Man of Honor". He is basically her best friend (after me of course). He is going to be wearing a tux. I keep joking with him that he has to wear a pink chiffon dress. I also tease one of my groom's men that he has to escort this guy down the aisle. We all get a good laugh over that.

I wouldn't worry about doing it as long as the bride wants it. My SO's grandmother wasn't too cool with the idea, but once we explained it to her, she was ok with it.

I told her I would not want to be a distraction at her wedding That would certainly not be my intent. She says I'm her only girlfriend who knows every thing about her. We've been friends for a lot of years. I'm not sure she has thought everything through.

She sounds sure of it. I would go ahead and be her maid of honor.

I would explain the problems to the bride, if she was comfortable with it. Go for it. Wear the dress with pride. You deserve it. let all of us know how it was to be a M of H....BJ
