I have just chosen my bridesmaids and the selection did not include my cousin. As children we were constantly together but as we have become older, our lives have gone in completely different directions so we are no longer close. My mother and grandmother were a little surprised by my decision to not include her and politely eluded to the fact that she might be hurt. (Especially since I have asked a newly married in member of the family to be a bridesmaid and we have only known each other for a little less then two years.) I still care very much for my cousin so I want to give her an honorary role at the wedding. However, this is where I am stuck. Sadly my cousin has had severe diabetes since childhood and became legally blind as a result over a year ago. I cannot ask her to do the traditional guest book attendant duty, for example, as she would not be able to see the guests as they come in. Are there any other special attendant duties that I can ask of her given the circumstances?

Given her condition, you could simply list her name in the program as a special "Honor Attendant" which does what you want and that is to give her a special place in your wedding. Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings

You might consider honoring your close childhood friendship by mentioning her during the dinner. It is through the love and friendship of others that we grow into who and what we are. Perhaps your wedding will enable a renewal of those old times. Copen Cabana DJ and Custom Wedding Photo Book Services http://www.knowareland.com
