Todd and I decided fairly early on that we didn't want to do the typical bridal party arrangement, with 5 or 6 bridesmaids/groomspeople on each side. Todd's argument was that he either wanted all of his friends standing up with him (which would make for a rather interesting--and large--bridal party) or none at all. It made sense to me, because we have many wonderful friends, and it would be very difficult to delineate a "Top 5" (I mean, really, I have trouble even picking out a "top 5" for my T-mobile phone plan!)
Thus, our bridal party will be me, Todd, and my niece Kaelyn (flower girl/birthday girl extraordinaire).
It occurred to me, though, that even though we won't have an official bridal party, the fingerprints of our friends will still be all over this wedding. One of our friends is serving as the officiant. A couple of friends will be the photographers capturing the day. Another couple has offered to roast up the pig for us. One friend has volunteered her expert landscape design help. Yet another friend will be helping with the flowers. A few girlfriends have taken on the planning of the showers and pre-wedding festivities. And many friends (hopefully!) will be contributing to the construction of the fence.
So I just want to say thank you, sweet friends, for your love and support...you are all truly our honorary bridesmaids/groomsmen-- we just won't make you rent a tux or buy yet another "this is obviously a bridesmaid's dress that I will certainly not wear again" dress.
Much love to you all!
