One writer explains why she will not have bridesmaids at her wedding, and it's not that deep.
By and large, I’m having a fairly traditional Protestant wedding: My sister-in-law who is a priest will officiate, I’ll wear white, and after dinner my guests will groove to “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” But one area where I’ve diverged from tradition is in my decision not to have bridesmaids.
My first reason is cowardice, plain and simple. The thought of choosing a handful of friends to stand next to me gives me hives. While I doubt there’s a mountain of people anxiously hoping they’ll make the cut, it’s still a potentially awkward situation that is repellent enough for me to avoid it altogether. There are enough stressors in the wedding planning process. On the flip side, I don’t want anyone up there reluctantly, wishing they could have saved some money on a dress.
