{"FB":true,"content":"#MEMBERREQUEST - I'm getting married in 2 years when...

Whenever you want.

The amount of post I see saying 'I asked someone to be my bridesmaid but now I don't want them to be my bridesmaid', I'd wait. See who celebrates your engagement with you, see who is interested, then ask the question.

Whenever you like. I asked mine two years in advance and we had lots of fun talking about the wedding and what dresses they might wear. Just be sure the ones you ask are going to be reliable and won't let you down. I kept it small and just had my sister, sister in law and two very close friends because I knew they wouldn't ever let me down and they didn't.

Whenever you like, but bare in mind, 2 years is a long way and a lot can change!! I've seen so many posts where girls have asked their lifelong friends but then had fallen out or grew apart or they didn't care about the wedding enough so didn't want them part of the bridal party etc! A lot can happen in 2 years!

I should leave it for a while. A lot can happen in two years. Everyone is different and don't forget to take into account how long it takes to find and alter dresses so I would have thought about a year.

I asked my best friends pretty much straight away and then they even came venue shopping with me , I loved having them every step of the way- i know that my 3 best friends won't let me down though so I was more than happy to ask them really early, they were asked over 2 years before the wedding and the weddings this October xx

I'm getting married in 3 years and I've already asked all mine! I was too excited! Xx

I'm getting married August 2018 and asked mine at Christmas :D

I'm getting married August 2018 and asked them March 2016. All my bridesmaids are family though so I no they won't let me down. If your confidant that they will stick by you through all the planning then I'd say go for it. Weddings do bring out the worst in some people though so make sure your 100% sure who you want before you ask xx

I'm getting married late 2018/2019 no date set I got engaged beginning of Jan and asked my 2 bestest friends, my sister and sister in law to be straight away. I want 6 bridesmaids and I'm going to ask my oldest best friend too, we haven't had alot of contact over recent years but we've always been there for each other. Distance has never affected us whenever we get together it's like we haven't been apart and people have told me to hold off asking her but I'm 100% I'm going to want her to be part of my day... as for my 6th... I know who I'm going to ask but not until closer the time if I still feel the same. So if your 100% sure there's no harm in asking. Watching both my sisters faces light up aswell as my best friends was amazing. And they have already started taking me looking at dresses and to wedding fayre. More people to enjoy the excitement and to help with all the hard work!! Xx

I asked mine pretty much as soon as I got engaged. They are all family except one who I have been friends with since we were three so she's like family. I think most of them already knew they'd be asked anyway. I got engaged March 2016 and don't get married until August 2018 so was over 2 years.

I've been engaged 12 years but we kept having children so we never booked a date until last year so I asked when we booked church and venue..get married June next year. To be fair, if I had asked all those years ago it would still have been the same people except some of the kids wouldn't have been born

I am getting married August 2018 and asked mine a couple of months ago. I do sort of regret asking so early now as one of my friends that I asked has done a complete u turn and become a bit of a rubbish friend and now I've got to have an awkward conversation to take back the asking! I'd say if there's family that will be involved, they're unlikely to go anywhere so ask away but anyone else ask a little closer to the time as you never know what could happen

Straight away or a year away

I asked mine within weeks of being engaged and hadn't even started looking. Used a poem

I don't know when
I don't know where
All I no is I want you thefe
Will you be my bridesmaid

Whenever you feel ready,soon as I got engaged in October last year I'd already told mine who I wanted and told my sister I want her as my maid of honour,me & my h2b haven't even set a date yet either & he's got his best man sorted so there doesn't need to be a certain time to tell them x

I'm getting married May 2018 and I asked my best mate on the day I got engaged! :D she was delighted!

I personally asked shortly after we had booked the wedding but I see so many posts on here for people asking whether they should "sack" their bridesmaids or how to do it that I actually would say maybe wait till a year before so you still have time to shop for dresses etc but it's less time to potentially fall out with anyone. 2 years is a long time and it's easy to say now that nothing would ever come between you and your friends but I imagine all these girls that later regret their decisions probably thought the same at the beginning x

I'm getting married in 2020...the wedding hasn't even been booked yet but I have already asked mine :-)

You can ask when you like. I would say leave it till about a year before. I asked mine and it changed 6 months before due to fall outs and other things that happened x

Hiya Kelly who is Dave's Best man going to be ??? glad you got your plans ready always good to plan early all the best xx ;)

I'm getting married in 7 months and wish I had waited as would have saved some effort and upset. Of course I couldn't have predicted the future haha

I asked my best friend to be my maid of honor literally straight after my fiancé proposed

I asked mine pretty much as soon as I got engaged as I knew who I wanted, I got engaged September last year and don't get married until 2019
