I am thinking about who I would like in my wedding party, and the problem is I don't have any girlfriends i am close enough to ask, and my family is all male(except my aunt/mom)- do i just ask someone on my fiancees family or ask a male in my family?

Before you start fantasizing about your wedding party, perhaps you and your fiance (it's with one e, not two) should have that talk about finances...

You may make a friend or two in the next three years, you never know! I'd worry about it in a few years, seriously.

LOL.

Seriously.

I'd focus on the important stuff.

Isn't that why you join a sorority? To have bridesmaids?:rolleyes:

Not really trying to be a Debbie Downer, but in her original post, she mentioned something about being engaged and and having financial concerns:

If you're seriously doubting someone's finances I would *think* that a couple would want to figure out suff like this before they made anymore concrete plans.

This is kind of a bitchy thread.

You're discussing a different thread. She's thinking about who she wants standing beside her. I've been engaged for nearly 3 years and was worried about the same things when I first got engaged. This is the fun, and oftentimes, less stressful part. You make it sound like just because a completely different thread she discussed money concerns, of course it has to be at the forefront of her mind at all times. Well, sorry, it obviously isn't for our lil buddy.

Well, she's only made three posts---two about how she and her fiance need to have a finances talk because she's nervous about how they're going to make it, and this one about the wedding party. Since I was in a similar situation and chose not to get engaged, perhaps I see the WTF? situation a little more acutely than others. I know I used things like wedding party and time of year to get my mind off of the fact that my ex was a dud.

She plans on being engaged for at least 3 years...chances are, her friendships will change in that time. If I had gotten married just out of graduate school (as I had intended), the people in my wedding party would be COMPLETELY different from those I would have stand up for me now.
