Hi everyone,
I have two very close friends, both of whom live in Qatar. I live, and am getting married, in London. They're very excited about flying over for the wedding and have no problems doing so (both earn way more money than I do!)...I assume I'll probably have to have the hen night relatively close to the wedding so they don't fly over twice or take up too many holiday days.
One of these girls (Abby), I've known since I was 11, and though we aren't as close as we used to be, we still have a lot of fun when we see each other (once a year if we're lucky). The other girl (Zara) is a uni friend, and has only just left the UK. She has always been much better at keeping in touch, and is, in general, more 'there' for me. She can, however, get on my nerves if I spend too much time with her...
I'd like to ask Abby to be my maid of honour, since we have such a long history, and because I know out of the two she'd be the most upset if I didn't. I'm happy with that decision. However, I want Zara to be really involved too since she's a very enthusiastic person in general and I know she'll enjoy it. Also, she's much more organised! Question is, I don't want either of them to feel slighted. Am I being too paranoid? Is there a specific way I should approach it, or act like it's not a big deal? Could I just ask them both to be 'bridesmaids' and skip the whole 'maid of honour' title? Sorry for all the questions! Thanks for your help.
