My younger cousin has finally accepted a proposal to be married later this year. We have always been somewhat rebellious rivals, but have also been there for each other in times of need, and kept some very personal secrets. I am thrilled that she would want me to be her wedding planner. However there is a bigger quandary, as she has insisted that I be in her bridal party as her Maid of Honor, and said her fiance and the other bridesmaids are fine with it. She stated this would mean I would be a full participant in dress fittings, selection of shoes, hair styles, manicures, pedicures, body waxings, facial makeovers, and all the other feminine events of a bridal party. I don't want to disappoint her, but feel it may be offensive to some - especially the older folks, and I could detract from her special day. My cousin has continually helped, accepted, and supported me to "come out" and enjoy my feminine side to the point that we have gone in public as "girlfriends". She is a very demanding individual and usually gets her way and I know will do whatever it takes for me to be her MOH.
Thanx for your comments and ideas.
