    I really thought Mr.Tal and I had put the bridal party to rest, but it seems not to be so. I thought it was too easy anyway really! :-) It turns out that he would like to ask another friend to be a groomsmen for him, which would give him 4 groomsmen. I have 3 bridesmaids and was pretty content with that, until he said he'd like to have a 4th in his party. I'll admit, I'm a little obsessive about even-ness, I know our bridal party doesn't need to be even but I want it to be. So Mr.Tal suggested I ask his SIL, who I've spent a little time with, but not much. She's already put it out there that she would love to help with any DIY projects I have, she's very nice, and I like her a lot, but we don't know each other very well. I'm seriously considering it, because I think it would be a bonding experience and a nice gesture, however, I'm a little on the fence because we don't know each other very well. What's a girl to do? Any advice bees?

    I personally don't mind the uneven numbers. We have 6 and 4.  Think of your SIL as being someone that you will have in your life for years to come.  You probably will become really close.  Good luck

    I'd just ask her. Apparently it's a cultural thing to do in England (ask your FSIL...though I'd never met her when we got engaged...) and I found later that people had thought I would do it.  You're likely to become close in the future, she's nice, I'd just ask her :)  This could be your way to get to know her better.

    I say ask definately-I understand the need to keep it even-I feel the same way.  Ask her-it will be fun!!

    Yeah, I would too.  Of course I'm into even BPs too.  But she seems to be ready, willing, and able to be a good helper.  And you will probably see her for many events in the future.

    I'd ask her too! It sounds like even though you don't know her that well, she's excited and ready to help. 2 very good qualities for a bridesmaid. To ask or not to ask that is the question :  wedding Icon Biggrin
