Hookers can wear white, too
Dearest Gypsy,
I am in a little bit of a predicament. You see, a few weeks ago I was drunk and emotional. I felt like I wasn’t getting any support from my friends or family in regards to my upcoming wedding. Well, on this night I drunk dialed my sister in law and started whining to her about how no one’s asking me shit about my wedding, no one’s excited, blah, blah, blah. So she starts asking me all this crap and was getting super excited with me about it.
In a moment of impaired judgment, I asked her to be my Maid of Honor (I was hers at her wedding to my brother. Mostly because no one else showed up to their wedding.). She of course, accepted.
Now, I have one of my other friends who I am much closer to, asking me who I’ve picked to be my MOH, and harassing me about it ever day. I should have picked her. But I am such a blabber mouth when I drink.
How do I either tell my SIL that I don’t want her to be my MOH, or how do I tell my friend that I picked my SIL to be my MOH? Should I also stop drinking?
This is an easy one! Have both. And if one is married and the other isn’t, even easier: have one be your Maid of Honor and the other be your Matron of Honor. There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t buck the etiquette books and do it your own way.
If there’s no way you can have both, then I think you have to stick to your commitment and keep your SIL as your MOH (ah, the acronym overload). Include your other friend in the proceedings as a reader or something. And if you need an excuse, then say you’re keeping it in the family, but that only works if Key is going with family for his attendants. And now I’m picturing you both as royalty with, like, servants, which is an awfully scary (or delicious) thought. What mayhem might the two of you get up to with serfs. The mind boggles. And drools.
Also, of course you shouldn’t stop drinking. If you did, I wouldn’t have your predicaments to untangle, which provide me with much joy and blog fodder.
Now, if I could only get my own dang-diddly wedding off the ground after, oh, two years of engagement, all would be well. I’m not bitter or anything. Nooooooo.
The rest of you, get asking.
That’s a good idea to say that we’re keeping it in the family. GoK actually is having both of his fathers as attendants and his adopted dad will be his best man. So that will work well! I could also tell the friend that we went that way so that none of our friends would be jealous. Hmmm. Thank you for your advice.
Oh, and a good way to get your own wedding off the ground? Get pregnant. Works every time. Well, except that I’m not pregnant, but whatever.

Hot damn… when did this happen?
The things you miss when you completely isolate yourself from all living beings. Tsk.
I don’t know if this is the right place for congratulations, but congrats nevertheless, you Dirty Raccoon PirateKeyHooker-entity!
If not, um, Gypsy? Could you pass it along?
Love Ry
Thanks, Ryan, you’ve missed a lot. If you’re around tomorrow, I have a review going up on Ask.

Gypsy, you and I both need to get to planning. LOL
I would keep SIL and MOH. That would be a slap in the face if she was rejected. Just tell bff that you got shit faced and asked sil to be it and how you can’t back off. Surely she would understand.

Look at you – the new Miss Manners. I mean that as a compliment, I love Miss Manners. Etiquette is hot!

Hooker: Let me know how it turns out. Also, re: getting pregnant: I would not say such things if I were you.
GoK: They go well with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Ryan: ‘Bout time you reappeared from wherever it was you were hiding.
Carrie: Yep, we both do.
A Free Man: It’s even hotter when you ignore it completely.
Trust me, if I haven’t gotten pregnant yet with all the man mustard GoK has spilled, it ain’t happenin’ anytime soon.
Was that TMI?
Like I care.

Nice handling of a sticky situation – Oy, weddings bring me out in hives. I’ve done it once, everyone had a good time except me (thanks Mom!) and I’m never doing it again. Ever, ever!!
