How many bridesmaids are you still friends with?

Got married 15 years ago and only speak regularly to one bridesmaid. No big fallings out with the other 2, just drifted apart I guess, but wondered what would be different if you were to get married again tomorrow

All of them: sister, two sisters-in-law, and step-daughter.

I only had my little sisters and we get on fine (they were young teens at the time). I never had really close female friends. I have more now and am closer to older friends than I was then.

All of them!
I got married in 2014 (separated now), but we had a small wedding and my bridesmaids were my Dsis and my cousin’s toddler DDs. I’m glad I chose family members rather than friends.

@HirplesWithHaggis

My only bm was my sister, we're still speaking. Grin But I haven't seen (or heard of) my flower girl since the day, she was there as a favour to a friend. She'll be in her mid forties now.

This has, however, prompted me to go stalk dh's Best Man. We lost touch with him after he married an absolute harridan... Shock

And I found him after a very short search! Shock Thank you for this thread, now to get dh to email him. Grin

All of them. I had 6, 21 years ago. Best friend (as MoH), still my best friend ☺️ ExH’s little sister, still see her regularly despite being divorced for 10 years. 2 nieces on my side, still very close. Niece on ExH’s side, still see her and very friendly. And my goddaughter, (best friends daughter), who was a tiny 4 year old sitting on my knee in my favourite wedding pic, and is now a beautiful 25 year old physics graduate whom I absolutely adore.

All of them! I had one close friend I've known the longest of all my friends (who lives at the other end of the country from me, but we're still v close), my sister, and my cousin, both of whom were children at the time. Definitely not kids anymore...

@restingmurderousface 💐 for you. I lost a friend a few years ago and miss her so much.

Two were my exDH nieces, so nope.
The other was my sister. We see each other at Christmas and birthdays.
The other is my best friend. Generally in touch everyday but currently having a row and not speaking 😂
