Maid Of Honor And Bridesmaid Issues
I have two issues, the first is that about a month after asking my sister to be my maid of honor, she is going to move cross country.
The 2nd issue is that my fiance has two sisters. One of the sister`s really dilikes me and the other one I don`t mind except the fact that his mom informed me that I had to pick his sister. One sister is on the dad`s side and the other on the mom`s side. What are the offical rules of ediquette regarding sister-in-laws or alternitives to my situation? Please Help!

Pick your own Maid of Honor a person that likes you and make sure it is someone you can trust to help you make your day special. Best wishes, and remember it is your grooms wedding and yours, not your future in laws , your parents or any sisters and brothers. Ask yourself if they were getting married would they ask you out of love and if the answer is no than pick a close friend. Only talk it over with your Groom and explain, and pray he will feel the same way.

I agree with Angel, just pick who you would like. They will get over it. Its your day and you don`t want somone there that you don`t really like or feel close to.

Don`t feel obligated to pick anyone because of who they are related to. MOHs and Bridesmaids are supposed to be good friends of the bride - not someone their soon-to-be-mother-in-law says they should be. Nicely tell her that you have your wedding party already planned and they do not include those two girls.
It`s your day! Good luck!
