to not want DDs to be bridesmaids?

[jellybeanstastepurple]

DDs are 10 and 6. My (well, DH's) niece has asked them to be bridesmaids at her wedding next summer and they are thrilled. BUT they don't know her at all- we see her at Christmas and at any other family events- they would honestly walk past her in the street. It feels like she is just using them for the obligatory cute child spot.

Also, the only other child in the family (I say child, she is 16) has not been asked. She will be the only one not with a role in the bridal party (niece's brothers will be ushers.) I feel so bad for her :(

AIBU?

I was a bridesmaid at 16 ,hated it, lived in levis and cheesecloth shirts at the time felt like a twat in a flouncy lemon dress ..trust me the 16 year old will be glad to be off the hook

How do you know she hasn't been asked?
Most 16 yos would not want to wear a b/maids dress

Mini and Pixie - knew someone would pick up on stable mucking description, short cut explanations don't always work do they!
