You may want to be careful about using your real name on the boards (and your cousin's too!).
If you want to repost this with a new username, we can delete this original thread for you... or if it's ok either way, that's fine too.
Good luck!
Are you still planning to have Lauren in your wedding? I think if you are at least having her as a bridesmaid it will be easier to deal with letting her down in the MOH department.
Hopefully she will be so happy you asked her to be in the wedding she wont mind if she's not the MOH.
She is in the wedding, I just don't want her to feel like she isn't loved...
The best thing you can do is be honest with her. Explain that you love her and want her to be a part of your wedding as a bride's maid, but that you have asked your other cousin to be maid of honor because you are much closer to her.
The only other option I can see would be to make the cousins co-maids of honor.
Good luck!

Is that weird to have co-maids of honor? I def am having an off the wall wedding.
Hmmm I think you just need to ask her to be a bridesmaid. She may not get upset... or has she already said something to you? Either way, don't make her MoH just because you made a pact when you were a little girl! Is there any excuse (i.e. she lives farther away from you than your other cousin) you can give as to why your other cousin is a more convenient option?
Co-MOH's are pretty common! You could divvy up the traditional "duties" of a MOH between the two of them, so they don't step on each other's toes...
I agree- be honest so you don't feel like you're avoiding the subject for your entire wedding planning process. I also like the idea of dividing the duties, still make her feel included and important.

I am in the middle of a dilemma: my cousin Lauren thinks she will be my maid of honor because we made a pact when we were 11. Now we are 22 and years later, we kind of drifted apart. I want my cousin Brooke as my MOH because she has been there for years and years...I just don't know how to let my other cousin know without hurting her feelings.
Please help.
