Several years ago my two sisters both decided that neither one wanted to be my maid of honor, but that I should be MOH for both of their weddings. Now that I'm actually trying to pull everything together for my wedding, I need to choose a maid of honor. I have a several close friends-- if I asked everyone to be a bridesmaid though, the wedding party would be close to 14 people plus my fiance and me. Any suggestions about MOH selection and/or how many bridesmaids is too many?
If your sisters don't want to be your maid of honor then I would definitely choose my best friend if I were you. As far as bridesmaids I am going to only have a few, I don't want some huge hoopla of a wedding I want something a little more intimate, however that is my preference. It is all up to how you wish it to be.
Can I ask why your sisters don't want to be MOH? I think that I would feel horrible if I asked my sister and she said no. Then to go and have you be thier MOH. I just don't get it.
If it were me, I would ask the sister that I am closest to again. If they say no, then go with your closest friend. You can always move a bridesmaid to be your MOH.
Your wedding party can be as big as you want it to be. I've been to some where there were 6 girls and 6 guys. It is a personal choice. I'm curious to know why they won't be MOH's too. I would ask my best friend to be my maid of honor.
It is a puzzle to me also why your sisters do not want to be MOH or bridesmaids on your wedding. Or are they already married? You can have a maiden of honor or bridesmaiden if they are already married. If they still refuse, you can ask your best friend. Surely among your friends you have one or two best friends to fit the role.
They don't want to do it because they decided it would be more work than either of them wanted to do. Thus, I was by default, told that I'd be MOH for both of them. I do have a few best friends I could ask. I don't want the hoopla of a huge wedding though, either.

i agree with you on this..best friend is the best choice..well depending on your budget and circle of friends i think..(on the brides maid issue)
