Sisters bridesmaid

[Kiddiewinks2008]

My sister is getting married next year and has asked her best friend and my DD to be bridesmaid. Am 43 so too old obviously (!) but we are close and I feel hurt at not being asked.
I know IABU and silly - its her day- but I feel a bit left out and upset!

I'm bridesmaid for my sister OP and I'm 40+

Feeling a bit worried now that my DSis just asked me out of duty and won't want an old lady in her photos.

To be fair, I do live 250 miles away so can't be that involved. Shes already got a dress with her friend. I just feel sad that I wasnt asked!

Also, I have never been a bridesmaid!!

Yes I get that it would have been nice to be asked. TBH I wish I had declined now as its a big event and I'm think that I'm possibly going to look a bit daft

Shebird you won't look daft, you'll have a brilliant time. Look in the pages of my local paper and you'll see bride's family, groom's family, their children, grandchildren, random hangers on & very-grown ups all enjoying themselves & happy to be part of a great day who simply happen to be wearing a co-ordinating frock. Stick on a smile and be happy that she wants you.

Kiddiewinks Stick on a smile and be grateful that you can guzzle champagne while the friend-bridesmaid has to stand around for all the photos.

I was never a bridesmaid as a child.
I wanted that peach shiny satin frilly bow on the bum dress so bad.

Don't be down op. You can wear something lovely that you choose and burst with pride over how pretty your dd looks.
