I was bridesmaid to mum's sister. Didn't even want her at my wedding!

I had my sister and a cousin. I like this cousin and respect her, she is a good woman, but just as importantly she was the same height and build as my sister for the photos. Plus she was the only one of my age-mate cousins who had never, ever been a bridesmaid at that point.

Neither bridesmaid asked me to be theirs. My sister considered it, but her other bridesmaids were rather busty and I am not, so we'd look odd in photos. Plus I would be more interested in looking after Liebs than Sis and we both knew it. Instead I did the reading and wore a dress that looked amazing, better than the bridesmaid dress would have.

Does that make us sound shallow? But our wedding photos do look amazing and we were surrounded with those we love, no matter what role they played.
