i have only had best friends my whole life. they either moved away, one went back to brazil, other became a crack whore, and the other didnt like my fiance and always tried settin me up on dates and was rude to him. it is hard to make good honest friends.

i have a sister, she is 18. i dont know her very well, she was in foster care until she was 13. were not close at all. and i dony want her to be my maid of honor. i have 4 female cousins, two are twins. it would be too difficult to choose between them to be the maid of honor.

You don't need attendants. The wedding is about the bride and groom, not their friends and relatives. I suggest that instead of handing the MOH your bouquet to hold during the ceremony, you give it to your mother to hold. That's really the only time you'd need a maid of honor.

I wouldn't ask your mother typically there is more than enough for the mother of bride to do and shouldn't be doing maid of honor duties as well. It's totally up to you though. Female family members are perfect choices for bridesmaids. I'm having my 2 new sisters-in-law stand up with me. If you have cousins that can do it I say they should. You do not have to have any though. If it's a smaller wedding it would not seem odd to not have any, though if it's a large wedding it may look a bit off. Whatever is the least amout of stress for you though.

Hi. You do NOT have to have friends be your maid of honor or bridesmaids. This question is asked periodically.
Do you have any sisters? Cousins? What about your fiance's family....does he have a sister? Cousin?
If you do not want to have any bridesmaids, you certainly don't HAVE TO. Anyone can sign the marriage license as a witness....anyone who has witnessed the marriage. Usually it is a maid/matron of honor...but it can be anyone!

The things about weddings, you can make it what ever you want it to be. It is your day and you get to call the shots. I've been to weddings where there is just one maid of honor and no brides maids. I've been to wedding, where there was just the bride. I've been to big and small weddings, indoor and outdoor. Who cares as long as you are happy that day.

Ask a cousin to be your maid of honor. You could ask your friend even though you don't see her that much. Your mom could do it. It is a lot of work for someone to do that so just keep that in mind and don't be offended if they have to decline. But I'm sure a cousin or your friend would love to do it. It is an honor.

No attendants are needed! As an alternative, do you have a good guy friend at all that would stand up for you as a "Man of Honor"? Don't laugh, people are doing it more and more now! Same with a "Best Woman"!

I saw a wedding on WeTv where the bride was in the same situation. So she had all groomsmen. They lined the aisle and when she came up the aisle they each handed her a flower. The flowers added up to being a bouquet when she got to the altar. Then the groomsmen lined up evenly on both sides of the couple.

No, you don't have to have a MOH or a bride's maid. Anyone can sign the papers as witness.
After reading all the questions on this site dealing with problems with the MOH and bride's maids, it makes you wonder why have them at all.

First, no, you do not have to have a wedding party. This is generally reserved for close friends & family members of the bride & groom.
Second, if you feel like you need to have one, then your cousins & your mother are great options.

I have many close friends and I've decided not to have a wedding party. I think it will be beautiful to just have myself and my groom standing up there. I am even walking myself down the isle!! I want to stress that this is between he and I so I hope people get the symbolism. Either way, I say don't worry about having a wedding party!
