I finally got to the point where I just asked her if she wanted to be in the wedding and I told her if she didn't to just let me know. She said that was a ridiculous question and of course she wanted to be in the wedding. Only a couple days ago did it get a little better. Well, I'll say she made some effort at showing interest. She invited me to dinner last weekend on HER.....of course her boyfriend came too, and we discussed all the wedding details as well as her duties as MOH. The first thing her boyfriend said is, "I'm the one who's been monopolizing all her time" and I said to him, "I don't blame you" Because I don't blame him. I blame her. My FI and mom both think I should demote her. I'm hoping she will step up to the plate and not disappoint me further. We'll see....

I am going through this exact same thing right now with my MOH! We have been best friends since we were in the 4th grade and she has a new boyfriend (of 5 months). She has been involved in NO aspect of the wedding planning whatsoever because she is so consumed with her boyfriend. We even planned a trip to go try on bridesmaids dresses one saturday and she backed out because she said saturday is her and her man's "day" even though they spend just about every weekend together. Ok, sorry for the hijack...I can just completely relate. My advice is to tell her how you feel. I have had 3 conversations with my best friend. We can talk about anything so it was really easy for me to tell her how hurt and disappointed I was in her for being an absentee MOH. Hopefully she will see how important the friendship is to you and make an effort to spend time with you. I'm sure she probably is just caught up in the new ness of her relationship.

That's the same problem I was having for a while. I wanted to have an AHR but I didn't want to pay the high prices that the hotels and country clubs were charging. If you are going to have it in Dayton, you should check out Arbor Hall. I don't know if you've heard of them but they allow you to bring in your own caterer and its the most decent looking place I've seen for all the places that let you bring in your own caterer. Their rental fee is steep, in my opinion, its 900.00 with a 450 dollar deposit. If you can get past that, you should check them out. The website is Arbor Hall They have a lot of pictures of how the rooms can be set up.

Hey BSullivan2, your not far from me. I'm in Dayton. How neat is that! Where are you thinking of having your AHR?

I would pick them both. If they are both very special to you and you would love for them both to have the title, I say go for it!

Number 1 definitely!

I am only having three people and my fiance is having 8 or 9. I will not be asking anymore people to be in my wedding so we are going to work with the numbers we have. I don't think it will look silly at all. You can come up with a creative way to have them walk down....that's what we're doing. If I come up with something, I'll let you know.

My FI actually ended up buying an engagement ring that he did not like because the one he'd been eyeing for a while wasn't available when he went back to buy it. He actually hates my engagement ring and I love it. So, the plan is to upgrade my ring size and the setting type to what he wants for our five year anniversary. Luckily the ring he wanted me to have, I LOVE so its a win-win situation for me
