I am getting married in one year. I had originally planned to ask my best friend, who lives 3 hours away, to be my maid of honor. The problem is that our lives have taken very different turns. She's a young, unmarried mother of 2 who is always in dramatic on-again-off-again relationships. She's been to jail twice, and even worked as a stripper for while. None of this has changed how I feel about her, other than being frustrated with her choices, but I'm worried that by next year, she could be anywhere. She could be pregnant, back in jail if she violates her terms. It's all very uncertain, and that is what worries me.
My other bridesmaid would be my cousin, who lives about 3 hours away, but is very reliable, and I know she'd make it into town for whatever I needed her for. We aren't tell-all-our-secrets close, but we are still close, and grew up taking vacations together.
My other thought is my future SIL could be the matron of honor, who I absolutely adore, is moving only 1 hour away, and is very responsible, but she's a married mother of three young children who is starting law school. I don't want to burden her with something else.

Re: [aprile_dawn] Does she want to be my MOH or not?

You have to find a way to call her and don't let her off the phone until you have an answer. Best option is to see her in person. From the way you are writing, I don't think you need guidance with your wording. You sound like a very caring and sensitive person. Just be honest.

Does she want to be my MOH or not?
