Choose carefully

When I was married I had my sister, my sister in law and some friends as my bridesmaids. Looking back, I wish that I would have had my sister as my maid of honor instead of a friend. My sister is still a very important part of my life and I don't even see my maid of honor anymore.
How are you picking your bridesmaids?
I agree with you Antkmom, I am having only my two sisters and my best friend since I was three. My best friend is as good as family since we have been best friends for over 20 years. I am having my best friend be my maid of honor because both of my sisters are married and have kids and not a lot of time. I know a lot of people who choose their bridesmaids form their curent friends and then a year later don't even talk anymore!
My sister was my first and only choice to b my maid of honor. I loved my friends but my sister is the one who was always there for me and always will be there for me, nomatter what. Friends come and go but my sister is always on my side, no matter what.
well since that i have no sister ..i think the sisters of my husband to-be will be great!! and a best friend of mine..
I think it can all get a bit much - especially in a big family! I am fortunate in that I only have one sister so she was my one bridesmaid. I didn't have a maid of honour - I had a best man instead!
It is better to choose from our blood relations. By choosing them we are creating an importance to them.This leads to a good foundation for better relationship ,and for a happy married life too.
Instead of searching for a bridemaids, why not just try to meet people. Get to know them then start to date them, then start to see them exclusively then after a long period of time (at least a year) start thinking about marriage. I think your rushing into this too fast.
Agreeing to be a bridesmaid can mean facing a deluge of confusion about individual roles and organization, not to mention occasional pangs of worry and frustration...So Bridesmaid can be selected from your close and blod relations..
When i choose some1 as my crush then i feel some1 else better than my crush and get confused whom should i marry... it's really too difficult to choose a bride... The most difficult task in the World...
its hard to pick up someone caring so much but we can have little choosy to get perfect match
i will marry a girl choosen by my parents so no worry
It's true that your sisters will stay in touch forever (well hopefully). I think that it's ok to ask a best friend to be the MOH and it's ok to ask a family member too. I'm still great friends with a lot of my best friends from high school.
What would you do if you had 2 sisters? How would you choose between the 2 of them?
When I picked my maid of honor, I picked my best friend. I couldn't pick my sister because she was only 11 at the time but if she was older I would have picked her. My maid of honor and I were pretty close until she got married. I don't think her husband wants her to talk to her old friends because he has moved her away from everyone she knows and doesn't let her talk to any of us. It's really sad and I wish there was something I could do but it's her life.

How are you picking your bridesmaids?
Since I have no sisters, I picked my bridesmaids and maid of honor from my cousins. I did not pick from my friends because it may cause jealousy among them
I can really see how choosing bridesmaids can be really tricky, especially if you have lots of close friends and family. I know this sounds harsh, but I would choose my family members over friends.
I had chosen two of my bestfriends as I have no sister and my husband's sister and I hated each other. I think the best way to go is to select those to whom you are closest to without listening to others' suggestions.
I picked as my maid of honor the friend who had introduced me and my husband. She had also been a bridsemaid and maid of honor before so she was an invaluable resource. My other best friend at the time was my bridesmaid. I still stay in touch with my maid of honor but my former best friend is no longer in my life.
