My best friend since the 1st grade was my MOH, then my SIL and cousin. There were a few friends I considered but our relationships have changed so much in the last 4 years I am glad I kept it small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144880 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 11:36:17 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2144880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, although one was my SIL, and two I don't talk to often anymore because we are in different life stages, I still consider all of them friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144805 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:53:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 2144805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had 1 MOH (no BMs), and we are no longer friends or in contact with each other, which used to make me very sad, but which I’ve pretty much just come to terms with by now (I got married 4.5 years ago). We never had a falling out, but she changed a lot after my wedding and went through a lot, which I think distanced her from everyone. We were friends for over 15 years, so it’s sad to lose that friendship, but also, we probably wouldn’t have been friends as adults had we met as adults instead of in high school. It is what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144793 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:48:14 +0000 Smurfette 2144793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! 1 of 6, lives out of town, like 12 hours away. We don't talk as much as we used to, busy with kids/work, but I still consider her a close friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144704 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:05:01 +0000 dolphin 2144704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! My MOH I was friends with since I was 5 and the other girls ever since high school. Besties for life! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144700 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:00:58 +0000 bunnylove08 2144700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. is out of state and we see each other whenever she comes back to see her family. I'm MOH in my MOH's wedding. My other friend is a college friend and we see each other maybe every other month. Its hard but I try to keep in touch with people </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144698 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:00:13 +0000 mrscobee 2144698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 of the 4. 2 I don't talk to. No major falling out, but we drifted. Got married at 23 though. If I were choosing today I would choose a little differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144681 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:53:52 +0000 Keybee 2144681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see most of them regularly, but one has moved out of state and we just have a social media relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144643 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:35:45 +0000 MaryM 2144643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I don't think it necessarily applies to everyone. </p> <p>But part of the conversation we had (that I forgot to include) was that 10 years ago, I would probably have not chosen the same people (especially since I didn't know one of them yet).</p> <p>The people I would have chosen then are not my closest friends now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144642 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:35:27 +0000 Mamaof2 2144642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: oh cool - did they stand on your side? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144640 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:34:09 +0000 ValentineMommy 2144640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2 bridesmaids and 3 bridesmen. My bridesmaids were both cousins and we are still close. My bridesmen were my brother (still close) and my 2 best friends - and we're still best friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144636 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:31:51 +0000 birdofafeather 2144636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 11! And I'm still friends with them all. 3 are sisters or SILs, 5 are HS friends, 3 are college friends/roommates. Varying degrees of friendship with all but I still consider them all some of my closest friends and I don't live in the same town as any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144635 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:31:43 +0000 bpcmarj 2144635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had 2 besides my sisters. I would say that I am closer at this point to some of my other friends, but I am still friends with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144634 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:31:38 +0000 Shutterbug 2144634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, mine were my SIL and my lifelong BFF and I'm still just as close with both of them, maybe closer. I chose to have a small wedding party for this exact reason. DH's groomsmen were his brothers and mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144612 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:19:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 2144612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2/3. My stepsister and my BFFF. But my MOH barely speaks to me. Her ex-fiance is one of D's best friends, and like family to my whole family, and I think it's just too weird for her. We're still FB friends, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144606 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:17:23 +0000 lilyann 2144606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 3 and we are all still friends but are also in different stages of life. I still love each one dearly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144605 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:16:30 +0000 Charm54 2144605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: haha it is perfect! It was slightly awkward when I had to call her and tell her I was dating her brother LOL but it's great now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144598 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:14:43 +0000 Anagram 2144598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I just got married less than 3 years ago, so yes. I had 3, one was my little sister. The other two...I've moved across the country, but I still consider them close friends even if I hardly see them. I was just a bridesmaid for one 3 weekends ago. The other one just got engaged and I totally expect to attend her wedding, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144595 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:14:21 +0000 T-Mom 2144595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had one bridesmaid and she's still my BFF. Wish she lived closer, I haven't seen her in person in years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144593 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:13:32 +0000 littlebug 2144593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Some more than others. And 1 that I probably wouldn't be if she weren't part of a core group of us that have been friends since the 9th grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144592 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:13:06 +0000 loveisstrange 2144592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Ehhhhh. I got married at 23. We're all still friends and I still wouldn't pick other people 5 years later. So, I dont think thats true for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144590 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:11:15 +0000 Mrs. Train 2144590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had six.

So yes. :) </p> <p>We had a destination wedding with only 24 guests. I've had a falling out with one of them and another just "faded" away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144559 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:58:37 +0000 MaryM 2144559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But I think it also has something to do with being married later in life. </p> <p>I talked to my SIL about this when I got married. She got married at 24 and I got married at 34. She would have chosen someone totally different if she got married today (she had her best childhood friend. They're still friends, but not as close). But I chose friends that I'd had long, adult relationships with, so it was different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-friends-with-all-your-bridesmaids#post-2144549 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:52:21 +0000 loveisstrange 2144549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only had 2, but yes! My MOH is still my best friend and my bridesmaid is about to get engaged and Im going to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. </p>
