New Maid Of Honor

I understand what you are going through. I was going to have my cousin be my maid of honor but everytime I would ask her to go to a bridal event or to try on dresses with me, she would say yes and then flake on me. So I finally just stopped asking her anything about the wedding. She asked me about the wedding about a month ago and I told her everything was going great and that my maid of honor, (my future sister in law) was a great help. Just talk to your friend and explain to her how you feel. If she is a real friend she will understand

I think that if you explain to your friend that you would really like to have your sister as your maid oh honor that she should be understanding. How long until the wedding??? Everything should be fine as long as people haven`t already bought dresses and whatnot. But, yes, I always think that siblings should hold the highest positions in a wedding.

Thanks for your advice, my wedding is in 6 weeks, yeah i know, talk about last minute problems. But i am hoping my friend will understand. I just need to get up the courage to tell her. I don`t want to hurt her. Taylor

That is a hard thing to do, however one way to make it not sound so harsh would be to tell your friend that you don`t want to put the strain on her, especially if the two of you have been having your differences lately, tell her you`d just rather take that pressure off of her, and not cause any further friction between you two. Make sure she know that you would like her to be apart of your big day, but you feel things would work out better this way. It is your day and like the others have said, if she is your friend she`ll understand, don`t let her ruin your day! Good Luck!
