Maybe just ask her anyways since she is a good friend. Explain to your FI it's not about numbers, it's about having those that love and support you two as a couple to be at your sides.

 

Why does he want it even? For picture purposes? Maybe show him pics of uneven bridal parties. I bet you could find a ton on here.

couldnt have said this better myself. dont ask her to be a backup.

i have a situation where i'm trying to stick to a traditional mex. catholic wedding, which means no GM. and the # of BMs can vary depending on how many gifts you have (arras, lasso, ramo, anillos, etc). the people who do the readings need to be catholic. one of my closest gfs from college is catholic, and i didnt ask her to be a BM right away like i did with my sister and my FI's sister because i was trying to decide whether it would be better to have her as one of the BMs carrying the gifts or if she should do a reading because FI has a limited number of catholic friends and we arent sure they will be able to attend. i finally decided i shouldnt wait to ask her anymore and i explained that i need her involved in my day because shes important to me. and because shes catholic, i was debating over how to utilize her best during the ceremony in case FI's friends back out of the reading, we'd need her. she was so honored she didnt care that i waited a little while to ask because of how i was trying to decide what to do. ultimately, she was just happy that i consider her one of my "must have" friends on my wedding day -- but this was different because shes not a backup.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
