    Wedding Party

    Has anyone ever been asked to be in the wedding of an acquaintance? I have been asked to be a bridesmaid for a woman that I have only be acquainted with for about 2 months. I don't know this woman very well at all. I haven't even met her soon-to-be hubby! She has one sister who is going to be he maid-of-honor. I don't know if I am comfortable standing up with her.

    Aren't the people in the wedding supposed to be close to the bride or groom? Is there a way that I could turn her down without hurting her feelings? I also don't want to pay for a dress that I would only wear once. I know that this might sound rude, but I don't have any close feelings to her.

    What would all of you do?

    How wierd.... I've only been in weddings where I was VERY close to the bride or groom. On the other hand, how do you know this woman? It may very well be that she doesn't HAVE a lot of close friends. New to town? Just shy? (LOL.... witness protection program?)

    Be careful if, during the reception, you hear a man playing a Chinese flute on the porch of the church.....

    I met this woman through another friend (which is male). He says that she has alot of family around the area. She also has another sister that she hasn't invited to be in the wedding party.
    I really need help.

    If she's been married before she may have run out of willing victims.Maybe you could invent an out of town event you must attend,otherwise just tell her the truth. After all what's the worst thing that could happen?she quits talking to you,you said you hardly know her anyway.

    I say go.. what will it hurt? As long as you consider her to be a friend..

    Tell her you cant really afford a dress, and take it from there..

    Im sure she could use a friend, be flattered that she chose you.

    If you consider her to be a friend, then by all means go.

    If not, tell her a lttle white lie such as, you have a family member coming to town on last minute notice and you will not be able to attend.
