I only had two-- my SIL and my best friend since 1st grade. I'm really sad about the fact that I've drifted away from my BFF over the past few years. If I were to marry again today, I probably would not have attendants.
Those who didn't make the cut: one college roomy turned into a Trump-supporting, working-mom-shaming asshole my brother's fiance who ended up leaving him 2 weeks before their wedding our Best Man's wife, who i was super close with until she left him for her boss
Probably 2/3, my sister and my BFF. But I haven't had a falling out with my SIL who was bridesmaid #3, we're just not as close as we were 14 years ago. My H's side would probably only be 1/3.
I only got married two years ago, so not much has changed in the relationships between me and the four girls who were my bridesmaids. At this point, I would definitely have all four of them again. (It was my sister, my sorority big sis, my college roomie, and a friend I've known since kindergarten.)
Married 10 years ago. Out of my side, I'd prob still have 3 out of the 5 (2 are relatives). Out of DH's side, he'd probably still pick 3 (1 is a relative). No bad blood with the other people, we just grew apart.

1 out of 4.
2 were my sisters 1 was my bff at the time 1 was my exHs sister
Sister 2 was my MOH, I was her MOH. Sister 1 was a bridesmaid in both of our weddings. She recently got married and didn't ask either of us to be bridesmaids, but still expected us to help with a million things and I was hella annoyed. If I get remarried I'm not asking her lol.
Old bff and I are still in touch, but she's burned a lot of bridges and we are no longer close.
ExHs sister was a bitch then and I got guilted into asking her to be a bridesmaid.
MOH got married a couple of months before I did. Then she practically ghosted me. I wanted to kick her out of the MOH spot but DH didn't want to ruffle feathers in the family (she had married into the same family) so I bit my tongue. She called me the morning before the wedding to see if I needed anything. Um nope, it's all covered.
When I got the pictures back from the photographer, in all of the candid photos she had a resting bitch face. The only silver lining is that she kept it together for the group shots. It's been almost 14 years and I can count on 1 hand how many times I've seen her since.
My brother and SIL got divorced 4-5 months after our wedding. I still miss her. My MOH was my oldest friend, and we've been growing apart for years, but especially after the election.

All but one of of them, which is surprising to me given how life goes, but they were all long term friends my sister, best friend from high school, best friend from college, and best friend from grad school. The one that wouldn't be in it is my exh's sister.

All one of them. I only had my sister in my wedding party. DH had only his brother. Our wedding occurred under unusual circumstances as we had scrapped six months of planning and got married on a Monday night three months before our planned wedding date.
4-5 out of 7 (I'm including my male bff who was a groomsman).
ETA-I had 2 cousins in my bridal party. One is a close cousin and the other is close but she's younger than me and was a junior bridesmaid. I don't know if I'd ask her again just because she's like 21 now and probably wouldn't give a fuck.
