That pretty much describes our wedding party...and I love it!
As you all know, I have lived in three distinct places- Idaho, Washington, DC and Baltimore. I also have best friends from every single place I have lived in. I say best friends because I truly do view each and everyone of these women as the BEST women around and BEST friends.
And yet, you all also know that I am not good at making decisions. So when it came time to choose a maid of honor, I balked. I flopped. I didn't choose one.
Yep, I didn't choose one.
I chose a man of honor. My brother! My tall, loud, teased-me-mercilessly-when-I-was-ten brother that I had played many a rounds of Cowboy with, eaten dozens of hot dogs and gallons of kool-aid with, and learned to appreciate more every single day. That brother. He is the epitome of protective older brother and he is one of the funniest people I know. My bro of honor!
With that decision, it was easy for Mr. Pencils to make his choices too. Originally, my brother was going to just a be a traditional groomsman, and one his good friends, a girl, was going to be a traditional bridesmaid. Now, he's my man of honor and she will be a groomswoman. Mr. Pencils has also decided to have two best men- his little brother and his best friend who has lived across the street since they were born (basically brothers from another mother!) On top of all of that, I have a total of 6 people standing up on my side and Mr. P has 5. The lopsided number doesn't bother us though!
How did you choose your bridesmaids? Are you doing anything non-traditional?
