Nothing bad happened to my MOH, she backed out because she might not be able to attend and she won’t be around very much. I’m not expecting anything crazy, I just want my MOH and bridesmaids to wear the color dress, attend the rehearsal and wedding, and perhaps spend the night before together and hanging out. I figured I should ask one of my 3 other bridesmaids to be MOH. My choices are:
Bridesmaid 1- friend I’ve known for 8 years, she’s witnessed all of my relationship with my fiancé from when I first met him and had a crush on him. I love this friend, she lives in our hometown so I don’t see her often but every time I go home to visit, I always spend time with her. We were more close in high school, so when we talk now, we talk a lot about fun things we did in high school.
Bridesmaid 2- friend I’ve known for 6 years, she’s also witnessed almost my entire relationship with my fiancé. We don’t talk much but when we do, it’s like nothing has changed.
Bridesmaid 3- my 12 year old sister, I love her so much. I worry if she were my MOH, she wouldn’t be able to sign as a witness on the marriage certificate because she’s only 12. I tried messaging our possible officiant, but he hasn’t said anything. I also worry that if I have a falling out with my mom, she may not allow my sister to attend.
Option 4- my art teacher from high school, I love her as if she were my mum. If my sister can’t sign as a witness, I could ask her to sign as a witness, but I don’t know if that would be weird? Also, she hasn’t mentioned if she’s attending or not (she most likely is, but there’s been no official confirmation).
Part of me wants to ask my old MOH to still be MOH since she doesn’t have to plan a bachelor party or shower or something. But I don’t want her to feel pressured and she may not be able to attend the wedding.
What would you do/what would you recommend?
