Tell me about your "attendants"

Stazzle, 3 February, 2009 at 14:31 Posted on Planning 0 32

Hi all

Just bored on a Tuesday afternoon after the fun snow day yesterday, being a bit nosey and wondered who you're all having for bridesmaids/maids of honour, best men and beyond! Here are mine:

Chief Bridesmaid: best friend, known all my life as our dads were best friends in school. She knows me inside out! will be 24 when we get married.

Other Bridesmaids: H2b's sister, who will be 21. My cousin/god daughter, who I have always had a bit of a bond with, who will be 14.

Flower Girl: Little cousin who will be 4

Best man: H2B's oldest friend since they were 12 and still get on great. I think he's a great guy too which is always a bonus!

Ushers: H2B's brother who will be 18, my brother who will be 20, and my 2 cousins who will be 21 and 16. All young ones!

Witnesses: think this will probably be either 2 of my close friends from school who I didn't know how to involve otherwise, or possibly one of them and one of H2B's close friends

Page boys: none!

Tell me about yours??

    Best man: OHs brother and best mate. He's having 2 because his brother is doing the photography as well.

    Ushers: 3 of OHs friends.

    I had

    Chief Bridesmaid: best friend, met at secondary school - 23.

    Other Bridesmaids: oldest (as in longest!) friend, we met on our first day of preschool and have been friends ever since, and my best friend from university - both 23.

    Flower Girl: Didn't have one

    Best man: H had 2 - both friends from school - 23 and 24. One was wonderful and one was a bit rubbish and it was the opposite way round to what we'd been expecting. They were both great on the day though.

    Ushers: Our brothers - H's who were 28, 26 and 18 and mine who was 22.

    Witnesses: our mums

    Page boys: didn't have any.

    Here are some pics:

    Bridesmaids and me:

    H, best men and me

    All of us:

    OK here were mine: -

    Maid Of Honour: - My big sister, she was 25 when we got married.

    Page Boy: - Our 2 year old son, Kyle!! He was adorable in his wee kilt complete with plaid. We made sure he was dressed the same as his daddy because he looks so much like his daddy his nickname is 'mini me'.

    My bridesmaids were all our sisters - i have 1 H has 2, my sister was my unofficial chief bridesmaid and helped out loads with planning, H's sisters were a bit hopeless really but i felt as though i had to ask them

    Best Man was H's brother - he's his best friend too, and tbh there's no one else that H would have wanted as his best man

    Didn't have flower girls or page boy.

    Bridesmaids: my best mate who I've known since we were 11, she's 27 and married to her school sweetheart ?, and my little sister who is 24. Both are gorgeous and fabulous so don't need one to be chief!

    Best Men: my OH's best friends who met at uni, one is in a band and a bit of a rockstar with a leather jacket permanently attached (will look great with a kilt!) and the other is a larger than life straight talking southerner. Both are mad as hatters!

    Witnesses: er haven't really thought about it yet!

    Thats it! No ushers, page boys etc, we are keeping it simple ?

    Sdaisy22 - I love your piccies. Where did you get the little boleros your bridesmaids are wearing? I'm looking for something like that and they'd be perfect!! Love the daisies in you hair too, so pretty :o)

    Bridesmaid - my sister who is 29

    Best Man - H2B's Brother who is 26

    Ushers - H2B's 2 best friends

    Usherettes - The 2 fiances of the Ushers (who are my best friends!) - they're going to help with setting up tables and one of them is going to wear my engagement ring during the ceremony

    Witnesses - 2 Mums

    Redkezza - love the idea of having FIL2B holding the rings - I might steal this as we're in a similar situation where mums, siblings and my dad are all involved and his dad isn't!

    MOH: My best friend. I was hers last year, and caught her BQ, and now by more coincidence than design we are getting married on the same date this year.

    BMs: My brother's gf, H2B's brother's gf, and my god sisters who will be 10 (twins) so not sure if they are BMs or FG?

    BM: H2B brother

    Ushers: H2B's 3 best friends. One of who will also be toast master as we wanted him to have a better job than just usher.

    Best man: H's brother

    Ushers: H's two good mates (been around forever!!)

    Witnesses: H's witness was our sister in law (she was a last minute bridesmaid as we didn't think one of mine was going to show) and my witness was my 'second dad'

    Page boys: we had an honorary usher, my cousin's son (aged 12)
