If you got married today...

[megstoo]

Sadly only 1 and that's my cousin. The rest of my bridesmaids have turned into more of an acquaintance now as we've all grown apart.

[pinkdutchtulips]

Everyone except the groom and one of the groomsmen. My sisters were my attendants and xh' s vm was his brother who I still talk to.

[litskispeciality]

I had 5, I'd still pick 4 of the 5, but I'd elope and maybe have 1 MOH if they could afford to go. Ironically I'm not close with my MOH anymore. I agree looking back fewer bridesmaids means less stress.

I am honestly not sure on my bridesmaids. I have had zero falling outs. It's just that time and geography have made us somewhat less close.

Oh, yes, this is what has happened with most of my bridesmaids.

But my maid of honor and I did have a falling out.  :-#

[lostrn]

We had one attendant each, probably still be the same people.

[sterl724]

2/4. One was my college roommate, and we've kind of lost touch. Another (my MOH) and I don't speak anymore.

[snipsnsnails]

3/3!

[rockpaperscissors]

For bridesmaids, all of them. For my H, all but 1 would be the same I think.

[yaga]

Lol I had 8 bridesmaids. H's two sisters, BIL's wife, 4 cousins, and 1 friend.

I'd have no one now. ha I planned on just 3 of my cousins plus definitely H's twin, but then didn't want to leave out another cousin and H's other sister and then it was like, well might as well include the sibling in-laws! Then I asked a friend, too, because you know, why not one more? Now, I don't really talk to 2 of those cousins after some drama with my wedding and just generally me waking up and realizing how self-centered they are.

H had 8 as well and nothing would probably change on his side. (My 2 brothers, his brother, 1 BIL, 4 friends.)

I love weddings and I loved my wedding, but I hate all the extras, especially all the bridal party stuff. I recently went to a wedding where the wedding party was a MOH and BM and that would be my preference.

[missmaddie]

1/3, just my SIL.

ETA - DH would still have his 2 brothers, but I doubt his HS BFF.

[BeagleMama]

All! I had one, my oldest friend. 

[irishbride2]

I had 5

I would still have three of the originals. . I would drop two and add one.

no drama or anything. They were just college friends that have drifted away.

[fivechickens]

Probably just my BFF who married us but possibly in a different capacity like MOH (what is the male version of MOH?).

[greysgirl]

I'm divorced, but I had my three sisters, his two sisters and my best friend. I would still have my three sisters and my best friend.

[Monica Geller]

All 4. My 2 sisters and my 2 BFFs.

[periwinkle]

2/5, my 2 BFFs. I don't have any issue with the rest of the bridesmaids, I just wouldn't want as big of a wedding party.

[gummybear]

Yeah, there have been no fights or anything. We've all just grown apart and are busy with life. Some have gone in different directions, both literally and figuratively. It has been 13 years so it's like a lifetime ago, really. I'm not sad about it.

[cereal K]

probably only one (my SIL) of the five.

but i had asked three others to be bridesmaids and all had to decline. i would 100% ask all three of those again.

[adhdfashion]

I would replace one, a now exsil. I had six bridesmaids.

[mbcdefg]

3 out of 4

ETA: Just saw this was only supposed to be the bridesmaids. I had my sister and a friend, and I haven't spoken to the friend in a long time (no fights, we just fell out of touch) so I wouldn't ask her again.

I'd still ask my sister. My brother was a groomsman and I told MH that I would ask him to stand on my side if MH would prefer not to have him as a GM. Or I'd skip attendants all together if I had to do it again.

[Leeham Rimes]

2 out of 3

[meganew]

There's only one person I don't talk to anymore out of my 7(!) bridesmaids- my crazy asshole cousin. The rest are family or BFFs I'm still close to.

Although if I got married today I probably wouldn't have any attendants. I would make a friend be my officiant though.

[nextbigthing]

2 out of 5, my sister and college roommate

A third bridesmaid I still adore but we live far apart.

The other two were XH sister and BFF so notsomuch

[cajunmom]

We didn't have any. Just my parents, one family friend, and DSS.

[revolution]

If this hypothetical is marrying DH again:
4/5 I would have again

If I am not marrying DH:
2/5 would be repeats

[Jalapeñomel]

The last time I talked to my MOH was at wedding. 🙁

Also, I wouldn't let my mom talk me into having my SIL in my BP.

I'd easily replace those two and add one more.

DH would replace two as well and add another.

[litebright]

I only had two, my sister and my BFF from HS. 

If I got married today it would be a different BFF who is local and is actually part of my current life. I'm still in touch with my BFF from HS, but it's mostly via FB. 

So, one out of two.

[Deleted]

One or two of the three. However, I have no regrets because all of the three were important to me at the time, and my friendship with one didn't end badly, it just fizzled out as we aged.

[rosiebear]

4 out of 5 (more than 1 wedding). Although when I got married this time I had only my daughter as maid of honor and I'd do the same if I married today.

[cabbagecabbage]

We had three people each. My sister and his brother were maid of honor and best man, then our two best friends at the time on each side. I think we would each ditch one, our lesser best friends. Mine is no question. She flaked out of my life over the past few years due to some jealously on her end. I miss the old her but it's her loss. His friendships have just changed and he's closer to another friend now, so I'm guessing he'd switch.

I wish I had made my best friend my maid of honor. I felt I needed to give the title to my only sibling but she didn't do shit. She was young and poor. I wasn't expecting much but she didn't even pre-plan her speech and rambled for a few minutes about her own kid mostly.
