My friends and I when talking about inviting certain people to events we determine whether they are invited based on their so called status, primary's, secondary's and tertiary's. What selection you fall under is reflected by whether you are part of the inner circle (primary's), friend of a friend of the inner circle (secondary) and a friend of a friend of a friend (tertiary). When having a closed event we only invite the primary's and when we are having a large event all the levels are invited. It allows us to organize the people in our lives.
So without further ado, here are the wonderful primary's in my life. I knew as soon as I was engaged who was going to be in my bridal party. I am so blessed to have such amazing friends in my life. I don't know what I would do without them.
Maid of Honour - Shannon
Shannon and I have been friends for over 10 years. Shannon has the biggest heart and has been through so much with me. From the moment I met her, I knew she would be planning my wedding. She is the type that loves to organize and does such a fantastic job. We have a running inside joke that Shannon honestly just plans everyone lives because she is just so good at it. We are similar in ways that I think we both will never know.
Bridesman or Man of Honour - Matt
Matt and I have been friends for over 10 years as well. We have been through everything. He has been such a focal point in my life where I gather such inspiration and strength. I couldn't imagine him not standing up there with me as I go through the biggest day of my life. He is so full of life and laughs. We share a special connection that can never be duplicated.
Bridesmaid - Suzanna
My wonderful Suz, who I have also been friends with since highschool. She is the sweetest, kindest person you will ever meet. She makes friends wherever she goes and is the life of any party. She works overseas and I see her for about 2 months out of every year, but our relationship has remained just as strong, maybe more so. I love that I can come to her with anything, and she always just listens...really listens without any judgements. I find that to be her greatest gift.
Did you know immediately who was in and who was out, or did it take some pondering?
