Dear #AskTheBridesmaid,
My sister is getting married this winter to the man of her dreams! I'm super happy for her to get married, but she hasn't asked me to be a bridesmaid or even the maid of honor. I know for a fact that she has asked most of her friends to a be a bridesmaid.
I just don't know how to ask her if she's going to make me a bridesmaid because I really want to be a part of her big day, and I will be extremely upset if she doesn't make me one. In my opinion, it's just not right not to have your sister as a part of your big day.
Please tell me what to do.
Katie
