<human>: OY, so I have been dreading choosing bridesmaids since before I got engaged; for years, really. At this point in my life I don't have any super close female friends. I'll list below who I have to choose from. Numbers don't really matter to me, but my FH will have 3 most likely.

Old best friends: H and J- these two were my closest friends for about 7 years. Towards the end of college and within the past few years we kind of grew apart as we moved to different places, ect. We have stayed in touch and do see each other from time to time, but I just don't feel as close to them as I once did. (Side note: I was not chosen as a bridesmaid in J's wedding)

College friend: CR- she is maybe the only person I feel confident in choosing at this point, but we haven't known each other that long and are not currently living in the same place. I have probably seen her the most in the past few years and she passes my arbitrary "have I had a sleepover with this girl" test.

FH's sister: CL- I know this is kind of required, but for the sake of this discussion, I'll include her in here. Basically, I've only met her a handful of times and she's quite a bit younger than me (7 years).

New friends: E and S- ok first off, S is a guy, but he is probably the closest friend I have here in NYC. E is the only girl friend I really have here, but we're not really at the point where we would ever do things just the two of us. I think if both E & S were in my party it wouldn't be weird since we are part of a larger group of friends, but again, I have only known them for about a year and a half.

Maybe this seems like a no brainer to someone on the outside, but I have been stressing out trying to put together the perfect combo of people. I'm also thinking of not have a clear "maid of honor" mostly because I don't know who would be one.

Any and all help/advice is appreciated! :)

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Should I choose friends I have known longer but aren't necessarily close now or ones who are close now but that I have only known for 1-2 years?
