How are you Brides making the decision when choosing the maid of honor?
Hi all,
I got engaged in January, but the wedding will be in the fall next year. Although wedding and marriage have been discussed with my fiancé and his family for months now, I am feeling conflicted about choosing my maid of honor. For a little context, over the past four years, I've become really close to my fiancé's two sisters, especially the one my age. We have a lot in common, and she is just an amazing person, a great listener, and always knows what to say. She has also been close to the planning processes and has offered to help pay for catering. So obviously she is the person who comes to mind when I think of Maid of Honor. The only issue is that her younger sister already expects me to choose her older sister and has even made salty comments about it. IDK how to put it, but she is in her early 20s and can be a brat. Don't get me wrong, she is fun to be around until something doesn't go her way. I just feel like she might make a scene if she finds out I chose her sister.
I also have my college bestie who I absolutely adore. And I have no doubts she will make a great right hand on the day of the wedding. The only problem is she lives about an hour and a half away, and she just started culinary school, so I feel she will be tied up with that. As well as working full-time. I will mention that she is a bit inconsistent when talking through text, so I also worry that getting a hold of her through the planning process will be annoying.
So I would appreciate some advice when choosing the maid of honor.
