Chief Brides maid

Ages ago.. early 2008 my sister dropped a bomb shell by asking me to be her brides maid.. after deliberating this was the reply i penned to her..

hope all is fine and ok,
now i do not know how to start this, seeing that i as usual have no ounce of tact nor emotional intelligence whatsoever, so forgive me if i just rush this out.
i will review at the end.

i have to be honest when you called and asked me to be your BM dad had already mentioned something like that to me. What i told him basically was that i dislike people telling me other peoples news and i am not comfy with knowing stuff about other people especially if they did not tell me themselves.

Now I have to say that after much thought and deliberation, i still do not know why you would even consider me as a BM. Yes i know we are sisters but in reality we do not speak all that much,not have contact all that much. at most i will say probably about 2 times a year.
while i understand that maybe your style of communication, because if i am honest i am like that as well,
but i am just finding it hard accepting this kind gesture of yours.

i guess I have to apologise now because like i said no ounce of EI at all.
see me, am a soppy person and being soppy comes with having a romanticised notion of how things should be. How far this is from reality ------- go figure?

My notion of choosing a BM is having your fgirly riends that you know and feel comfy with.
Suprisingly you are about the only family member that i feel comfy around because i can be myself around you ( usually stupidly delirious )

but because we hardly speak or contact each other I do not know if you have made the right choice here.
The choice of contact is usually from my own side, because i always make an effort to keep in touch with family - being you. Hardly do i get a call or even an email from you, unless probably we are both online at the same time.
See you are my sister and fortunately that does not change and wont change, the fact that i feel in a way responsible you because i love you you as well, that can never change, also I do want the best for you and want you to be happy, that will always remain and be the same.
Can i ask then that should you want me included in your day, do please give me something of a lesser prominence, without the responsibility of a BM, that i feel should be the role of your best friend.
