It's official!

I'm in my BFF Brenna's wedding! She is getting married Aug 19 2012 at a place in downtown Philly that is really amazing. She asked me and her other long time neighborhood friend last night at the make up party. 

Question for you ladies, did you ask girls to be in the wedding "as bridesmaids" and then specify later a MOH? Brenna didn't say that we would be Maid/ matron of honor but I had anticipated she might. Just wondering how you went about your choosing and informing process. Of course I am thrilled to be in her wedding but just a little confused thats all.

Re: It's official!

  • Yay! That's awesome, congrats to your BFF!

    When I asked my sister I specifically asked her to be my MOH and then told all the other girls that she was. It was very clear from the beginning.

  • Yes, as I knew mine would be an argument if I picked between my two friends or my two sisters, so I chose my SIL to keep everyone happy (or equally unhappy). I told them right from the get go so there would be no confusion.

    I too informed everyone what their roll was right away.

  • Mine was my sister. I bought her a MOH tank top and all my friends just knew she was the MOH. Plus I bought them Bridesmaid tanks as well so I guess that got the point across.
  • Yay!  So fun! 

    Yeah, I think she would have been clear from the outset if you were MOH.  Does she have a sister or cousin that would be a natural choice for MOH? 

    I asked all my friends to be BM's by sending them cute little personalized cards.  My sister was my MOH, and although we aren't close lately, I didn't have a choice bc I didn't want to disrespect my parents.  Bummer...because she didn't do jack sh*t to help me or take an interest in my plans.  Oh well...that's a story for another time....

    Congrats and have fun being part of the bridal party!!!!  I can't wait for you to fill us in on all the fun details - dresses, bachelorette party, etc :)

  • Brenna's the only girl, and her friend Laura and I have been like her sisters her whole life so thats why I thought we might be MOHs. She did not say so and so is my MOH so that adds to the confusion. :-/ I don't know who else would be "ranked higher" than us, not to sound full of myself but we literally have been friends since she was an infant and BFFs especially the last like 7 years.

    It's entirely possible she might not choose a MOH at all, since she might have a hard time choosing?  Or choose both of you?  I guess wait and see...I'm rooting for you to beat Laura for the spot if it comes down to it haha

    Now I'm reminded of the Friends episode where Monica had a little pageant to choose a MOH between Phoebe and Rachel LOL

     

  • I thought she might ask me to be her MatronOH and Laura be her MaidOH which would have been fine with me! I'm hoping she just hasn't decided and will talk to us about it later. Her FI does have a sister who of course will be in the wedding but like I said she didn't say anyone was designated MOH.

    SO funny that you mention this as Laura, Brenna and I are HUGE Friends fans and we were making references to the show a lot last night :-) We had a great time together!

    Hehehe, me too!  :P

    I told my BMs and MOH right away.  I have 4 very close friends from college and wanted to make sure there was not confusion or expectations!  Before I even met my DH, my MOH and I promised each other we would be each other's MOHs :P  I would wait it out, maybe she picked his sister to be MOH.

  • That is awesome!!  My BFF isn't getting married until Sept 2013... But I hope I get to stand up for her. 

    I did differentiate my MOH right away.

     

     

  • Yay!!!  :)

    I asked Christy and my sister right away to be my MOH's.  Then I asked my cousins and the other 2 friends to be BMs.

  • How exciting for you!!! I love weddings and being in them :-)

    Mine was a little tricky also - I have a lot of close girlfriends that I could have asked from across all phases of my life, but I chose the three who have been my "sisters of the heart" since we were all single and in our twenties, and who I've kind of grown as a woman with. I could have chosen any one of them for MOH, as we're all quite close, but I chose the one who I tend to gravitate to the most, and she was the first to learn of the engagement, and I did let her know right away that she was MOH. In my heart, they all were though :-))

  • Thanks for all your feedback, I think I will wait for a little while for her to announce who her MOH(s) will be. Who knows, you just think you would be told up front about it and since no one has been specified yet I'm hoping she just hasn't decided. In any case, it is her wedding of course and I'm glad to be a part of it.
