MOH issues...is it ok to demote her?!

Lately I have been wondering if I rushed into choosing my MOH.  I am an only child and therefore have no sisters to bestow the honor too.  My fiance's sister and I have only gotten really close since we got enaged.  The girl I chose to be my MOH was my bestfriend in highschool.  We were inseperable.  We're still really close and I know she is my closest and oldest friend.  Lately, however, she has been engaging in activities that I'm not sure I want my MOH to do.  I know it's not my spot to judge her, but there are pictures all over Facebook of her partying, doing bikini bullriding at bars, winning the D-Cup Divas lingerie pagent at a bar and they aren't very flattering pictures.  I don't want my friends/family to get the wrong idea of her and I also don't want someone like that being my most important member of my wedding party.  What do I do?  Do I demote her?  Is that wrong?  HELP PLEASE!!!

That is a good point and I'm definitely not super conservative.  I just feel like my MOH (who has very important duties) should want to be more involved and care more than she has.  The only thing she has asked about my wedding was "when can we go look at bridesmaid dresses?" she has not asked about where it is, when it is, or if I want to go look at wedding dresses.  I feel like she will be a maidzilla and care more about her needs than mine.  I want someone that will be there for me and I don't feel like she is the right one.  I wish I would not have rushed into asking her.

I respect everyone's opinions, but of course you haven't seen the pictures.  My issue is not her (lack of) care/involvement in my wedding.  Yes, it hurts my feelings that of all my bridesmaids, my MOH is the LEAST interested in any of my plans.  She hasn't asked me ANYTHING about my wedding other than when can she get her dress.  My issue is that I believe I rushed into asking her.  When we were growing up I always wanted her to be my MOH.  But these pictures just prove to me what my fiance has been saying for years now...as a friend she doesn't share my same values.  You may not agree, but I believe the people that I choose for my wedding party are reflections on me as a person.  I think the person I choose as MOH is obviously someone that I value/respect very much.  At this point I regret asking her so soon, ,but I'm not sure that I will "demote" her, because I would be upset if someone did that to me.  I'll wait and see if she gets any interest at all in my wedding in the next few months.

  • Wow. Way to backpedal...twice. But it's not about the pictures it's about the fact that she's not excited about my DAY! But it's not about the fact that she's not excited it's about the PICTURES!
