Im having two as well. My Matron of honor is my brother's wife who I've been close to since I was 14 years old and my maid of honor is FI's sister. I've gotten close to her as well but I wanted her to play an important part in her brother's wedding.
I voted for 1st week in december.. Its rare I have enough energy around Thanksgiving to do it. I cant wait to decorate this year since we just got new landscaping done in the front of our house.
