14 Thoughts You Have When Your Best Friend Announces Their Engagement

12. The Politics Of Who Will Be The Maid Of Honour

This really shouldn't be a thing, but unfortunately, people are selfish. Someone else's wedding should never be about you because it's not your day, so if they want you as a bridesmaid but not as their MOH, then you'll just have to accept that. Family members get jealous when friends are chosen over them for the MOH responsibility and will kick up such a fuss about it that it can ruin the lead up to the wedding and the actual day itself. So whatever you do, make sure you don't add to the drama. Accept the position you're given and just be happy for your friend who is marrying the love of her life. You'll (hopefully) get your turn later and can then face the pressure of wanting the day that you've planned since you were little but having to keep everyone else happy...
