Yep, they're still my very best friends. We've been "together" for 15+ years so I don't see those relationships fading any time soon.

Yes! These 3 ladies are the closest thing I have to sisters....we've been thru so much together!

Yup! I am seriously lucky to have 3 best friends from childhood, and they were my 3 bridesmaids. There are 4 of us and we started off in two pairs, then joined forces in 1st grade. My oldest friend has a sister who was her MOH and my college roommate (who I'm still close to as well) was my MOH, and the other pair was each other's MOH, but all four of us have been bridesmaids for all four of our weddings! We are actually planning our first vacation together now that all 4 of us are married (the last one got married last year) and I'm SOOOOO excited. We're scattered across the country now (2 west coast, 2 east coast) so we're hoping to meet for a vacation once a year as a tradition.

All but one! Surprisingly enough, one of mine was included because she is one of DH's lifelong best friends (and she didn't feel comfortable being a "groomsmaid" lol) and out of that we've become extremely close. Since DH is an only child, she's like an awesome adopted SIL to me.

The one I don't talk to bailed on my rehearsal dinner, was late on the wedding day, and left my reception after about 20 minutes. I didn't ask much of my bridesmaids at all - they got to wear all black cocktail dresses, heels, jewelry, etc that they already had so they didn't have to spend ANYTHING. And she didn't even get us a wedding gift. To this day she is confused why I'm a little distant with her, so maybe she's just self absorbed and/or clueless about etiquette?

I'm still close with 3 of my 4 bridesmaids, but sadly I'm not as close with my MOH who was my best friend from high school. Ever since she had kids, she has become a fair weathered friend who only keeps in touch when it's convenient for her, and I sometimes get upset about it so I decided to distance myself. Sad.

Yes all! 2 out of the 5 were family

No (I only had a MOH); and I’m still kind of sad about it.

We were best friends since we were 14, but a couple of months after my wedding in 2010 she went cray-cray. She shaved her head, got divorced, moved, etc. She had some serious financial issues and lied about everything – she got a student loan and without telling me listed me as a reference, defaulted on the loan and twice a week for months Sallie Mae called me asking for her contact info (which I didn’t have because she changed her number and moved and didn’t give me her new info); I would email her about the student loan and she would play it off, I found out her home went into foreclosure while she emailed me saying how she’s buying all new appliances and posting to FB from her new iphone, etc. Then she changed her number again, deleted her FB and I’ve heard from her 1 time via email since then.

I miss her, but she clearly doesn’t miss me. Its ok, such is life.

I had 3 and am still really great friends with 2 of them. The 3rd bridesmaid and I grew apart. I realized after the wedding and certain events that happened throughout wedding planning, that she was not the person I thought she was and I really only knew her as a "party" friend and not a true friend.

Yep! I had 11 (!!) bridesmaids and still talk to (or see them) all regularly! One is my sister, 2 SILs, 5 HS friends, and 3 college friends/roommates. It was a lot but I couldn't imagine any of them not being there on that day with me. I guess I did well. I've been married almost 3 years and they are still the closest friends I have.

All but 1, even though that one we are taking LO to her hosue for dinner tonight. We have just grown apart (and were at the time of my wedidng, but she's been a good friend since high school.) Otherwise my other 3 friends I talk to every day and my others were family.
