Columns & Opinions

DEAR HARRIETTE: I was asked to be my friend’s maid of honor, and I said no. For context, I said no because I had a baby five months ago and I’m recovering and getting used to now having three young children. I have had little energy to do much of anything. The last thing I need to add to my plate is being heavily involved in a wedding. This friend and I have only known each other for a year. She doesn’t have many close friends, so I became her obvious choice. When she asked me, I tried to explain my situation and told her that while I would love to attend the wedding and support her, I didn’t feel like I could properly fulfill the responsibilities of being a maid of honor right now.

Last week, we thought we would leave our little place in Casa de los Soles.
