Question Author
He asked me cause he wanted someone on his side as bridesmaid he's an only child, all my other cousins are older than me and so i'm deemed the only suitable one, as he said he has no one else ....and I'm female, in my 20's and so fit the bill. His bride to be has asked her sisters but they really wanted someone on his side too.
I don't want to offend anyone (My mum and his mum are sisters and although they live 160 miles apart are close, and my aunt has been a pillar of support to my mam)
