I have a really good friend and currently we are going through a bit of an argument. I am getting married and would love to ask her to be a bridesmaid as I know we will eventually get over this rough patch in our friendship I know I'd miss having her in my wedding if I did not ask her due to our current terms. The wedding is coming up quickly and dresses will soon need to be ordered. How do I ask her to be my bridesmaid even though we are going through a difficult time? I have already apologized and tried to discuss our issue.

Dear Brideinwaiting,
Perhaps you could approach her and just tell her that the issue you two are having isn't as important as your long term friendship and you really want her in your wedding and always have. And, you could add that there is no more time to wait for the issue to 'resolve itself'. After that perhaps you could take her out for coffee or tea or... .
Please do this quickly or it may appear as if she is an after thought.

The two of you are going to have to come to terms if she is going to serve as your attendant. Talk to her and tell her that you want her to be a part of your important day. If you can't make it work during a personal conversation, maybe she's not going to be able to fulfill the job after all. Good luck. Shayna Walker, Williamsburg Wedding Design
