I spent this weekend with a good friend for the first time in awhile. She isn’t one of my bridesmaids, but I’ve asked her to read a poem during the ceremony. We had a conversation about whether I’m having bridesmaids and she appeared surprised to learn that I am, possibly because it’s my second wedding. There’s a part of me that also wonders if she was surprised that I haven’t asked her to be a BM, as I asked her to be a BM for my first wedding. At any rate, I really struggled with telling her who’s in the wedding and didn’t want to look her in the eye or anything. It just felt awkward.
This friend and I have a really honest relationship and I’m inclined to mention it again and explain my awkwardness. If I do, I’d want to keep it focused on how much she means to me and how grateful I am for her agreeing to read in the ceremony.
Has as anyone ever had a conversation like this with a friend? I know I don’t need to defend my decision about who I’ve asked to be in my wedding, but because this friend and I have such an open relationship, I think we can both handle the vulnerability I’d be bringing to the table by initiating this conversation. Thoughts?
