Hi everyone! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I just wanted some outside input.
One of my closest friends/college roommates got engaged less than a month ago. We lived together for two years and became really close and even my last semester of college when we didn't live together, we still had dinner once a week and made time to hang out. I graduated a year ago and for various reasons moved back to my hometown (out of state), but we've still kept in touch pretty good touch--I had a lot of friends in college and I consider her one of the people I talk to the most and I know just because of how she is and the friends she had that I am likely one of the (if not the sole person) people she talks to the most--and we make time to see each other whenever I'm out there. We call each other every couple of weeks to catch up. And when she got engaged, I was the first person she told outside of her family. So for those reasons, while I was trying not to expect to be asked to be a bridesmaid, I was kind of figuring I would be. However, I know from what she's told me that they're having to move at a really fast pace because the venue they want isn't available when they wanted to get married so they're getting married a few months earlier. She already has found her dress and so I'm figuring if that happened already, as well as the pace they're having to move to plan everything, that if I was going to be a bridesmaid she would've asked me to already. I know both her siblings (who have both gotten married within the past 5 years) both had pretty small bridal parties so I wouldn't be at all surprised if her bridesmaids are her sisters and his sisters, so I wouldn't be too offended (more just bummed) if I wasn't asked. I more am just wondering what the timeline is for these sorts of things. While I've had some friends get married already, she's my first friend in my inner circle that is getting married and I don't want to bother her with this because I know how busy she is with the planning/her job as well as make her feel guilty for not asking me/not planning on asking me for whatever reason.
Any input is appreciated! Thank you!
