I am new to TFP so my post may have already been repeated by many others. I noticed that others have mentioned that relatives get the 'best' parts. I must admit that weddings are a very stressful family affair. I didn't speak to my family for over a year after my wedding. My mom's side of the family sulked in the corner because I refused to have my cousin's daughter as the flower girl. I agreed at first, but then after 3 tantrums because she had to try on the dress I said forget it. I realize that your situation is different, but it is an example of how family takes over. I wasn't the bridesmaid at my friends wedding. However, I was the most supportive. Even though relatives get the 'fancy' titles, they do not always live up to them. Therefore, I would not worry. The wedding is only a few hours, the friendship afterwards is what counts. I don't even talk to anyone that stood by me at my wedding, however, my best friend is still around and I love her for that more.
