i'm getting married in September and having my best friend, my flat mate, as my only bridesmaid. I haven't got anyone else close to me, i'm not particularly close to family so would only, by choice, have 1 bridesmaid. However, my mother is dead against this and is saying i have to have more than 1. Apparently i have alienated my family (even though me and my cousins have lived in different cities and grown apart over time, which i didn't think was all my fault) and that i should feel bad for not having any of my cousins as bridesmaids. Can anyone tell me what is so bad about just having 1 bridesmaid? Anyone i ask now would be purely to pacify Mum and not becos i want them. Also feel guilty cos she and my stepfather are funding almost the entirity of the wedding as we're getting wed sooner than we thought cos we have to move abroad, and it wont just be pennies. In a dilemma as don't want to offend Mum but don't want another BM just for the sake of having nicer photos!
