Changing Maid Of Honor
I had asked a girl at work to be in my wedding, we had a pretty close working relationship. However, I jumped the gun and asked her to be my maid of honor. She has complained about a number of plans that I have intended to make, and insists that I should spend more money on things for guests, which I can`t afford, but won`t lift a finger to help! After discussing it with my fiance, he thinks the bridesmaid that contributes most of the planning and help should be asked. I started thinking that my childhood bestfriend should be, even though she lives miles away and doesn`t have the money to contribute. How to I fix this?!? I really don`t want to hurt my coworkers feelings, but I don`t know anyway to get around it. Who should technically be the maid of honor anyway?

It`s YOUR wedding, and f you aren`t pleased (and who would be?), politely explain how you feel, and ask her to step out. A friend recently had to do this to his Best Man, and trust me, if there is a true friendship there to build on, this will pass. Your MOH is selected by how you feel, not what they can contribute. If you`re looking for someone who can take care of monetary expenses for you, or just be a rock when you need them, make sure you tell them before you ask!

Your MOH is the person you feel closest to. Not who can contribute the most time or money.
