I am a second time around bride, but this being my fiance’s first marriage we are having a medium sized wedding. I have some friends (a couple) who were instrumental to me during my divorce. I would’ve never made it through without them. They were with me every step of the way! However, I currently have five attendants and couldn’t possibly add more. I want them to have a special role in the wedding day they helped me pray for. Is it appropriate to seat them as “Guests of Honor” right before the Grandparents are seated or do I risk offending other guests?<\/p>\n

Thanks for your help! <\/p>\n

Dear Honoring,<\/p>\n

No, it shouldn’t offend anyone. All of us have special people in our lives. These are often not family. It would be wonderful for you to honor them in this manner.<\/p>\n

Best wishes, <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
