I just got engaged and plan to get married in May. from the start, i said i wanted a small very private wedding, close relatives only, and it's going to be held at his sisters house.

Well, my friend, who I consider my only real friend and best friend, (and who considers me the same way) last night told me she wants to be maid of honour. I told her that I wasn't doing it that way, wasn't having a wedding party, etc... she pushed and pushed at the issue was so excited for me, was saying how much she wanted to be standing up there with me, and that she wants to make a toast at the dinner and all that. I felt kind of backed into the corner and didn't want to hurt her feelings because she was SO excited, so I said yes...

Now I'm wishing I hadn't. The more I think about it, the more I just want it the way I was originally thinking... CLOSE family only.. hell I'm not even inviting my cousins that I grew up with! Only my parents, my brother, and my grandma (and colin's side respectively)...

How can I tell her that I've changed my mind? She is going to be soooo hurt and I'm afriad she'll be really offended, thinking I don't want her there...

What do I say?
