    ditto.

  • I have been asked 5 times (3 bridesmaid/ 2 MOH). I was actually only in 4 weddings (I think, unless I am forgetting one). The 5 th was called off 2 weeks before the wedding, and I suffered through all the extras, as well as helping the bride move out after, so I still count it ;)

    Still friends with? 2 of them.

    I lied. 6. I forgot my brothers first wedding. Bridesmaid. I guess that makes 3 I am still close with.

  • Zero. I was going to be the MOH for my best friend (at the time), but we had a falling out. I'm glad I didn't end up being her MOH though because apparently she was a bridezilla, and her fiance left her the day before the wedding because of it...

    I know that when my sisters get married I'll be in the bridal party, and probably for a couple of my good friends, but we still have a few years to go before they're ready to get married. I can't wait though! :)

  • 5. 

    2 I was technically a junior bridesmaid (for my aunt and for my mom when she remarried).

    2 I was just a bridesmaid

    1 I was MOH (for my sister)

    I would have been a joint MOH (don't even get me started on having to share the title) for my previous BFF's wedding, but they called everything off about 5 1/2 months before the date. I was just about to order my dress.

    I was going to answer 0 but realized I must have blocked them out. Pitty I couldn't pick a number and "I hate weddings".

    When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

  • 4. 3 friends and a sister. I was joint MOH for one friend (who was bridezilla and we had a party the day after the wedding celebrating it being over) and MOH for my sister.

    Now that I think about it, I was flower girl for one of my aunts, and junior bridesmaid twice for another aunt and another uncle. I didnt count those.

    Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"

  • Only one, and I was the MOH. It was my sister's wedding in 2008. None of my close friends are married, or they were already married by the time I met them. DH has been in three (brother, BFF, friend).
