I have a friend who I have known since we were babies. We fell out at secondary school and lost touch for a few years but have been back in touch for a few months again now.
She has been really interested in my wedding and is happy to talk about wedding things when we meet up and seems genuinely interested. She has plenty of ideas for a hen do and I have given her a save the date which she was very pleased with.
She is happy to meet up and discuss my hen do but doesn' want to book things as she says that is up to my bridesmaids - valid point. I have been thinking if we keep getting on well I would like her as my bridesmaid but OH is concerned I will ask her a bit early as we haven't been back in touch that long.
Another thing is I have had to let a bridesmaid go (long story) and don't want to cause bad feeling about 'replacements'. But she wouldn't be a replacement, I would choose her for her not as a replacement.
Also if I wait too long I won' be able to get her a dress as it takes a few months to make the dresses, I think they are on back order.
Could I have your opinions please????
