I know that this is a strange request, but please pray that my friends and family will take interest in being apart of my bridal party. It's not that they don't like my future husband, it's because I'm shy and by family has never been close. I've also lost touch with most of my high school friends and I feel like everyone I might ask will tell me no and it will break my heart. I know that the most important relationship in life is with God and his Son and my future husband, but I also know that having good Christian friends is a blessing. Pray that I can reconnect with my old friends and make new Christian friends as well. I feel so ashamed that I didn't keep in touch with people after high school...my life outside of school has been so stressful (dad died, mom disabled/hoarder, brother suicidial/doesn't believe, grandpa alcoholic) and I've always been ashamed to let people get to know the real me outside of school and work. Except for my boyfriend/future husband, I have always been misunderstood by people and lonely. Most of my friends nowadays are pen pals that live far away. They have been a blessing, but I need friends in my daily life too. I feel like I will disappoint my future in-laws if my groom has two groomsmen and I have zero bridesmaids. Pray that God will help guide me, give me confidence and friends.
