Wedding Party Attendants ( Decisions, decisions )

I recently had a conversation with my husband about a relatives upcoming wedding. We were discussing her choice for her wedding party attendents. It sort of sparked a debate as to who chooses who is to be apart of the wedding party ( the bridal party and the grooms men ). So he believes that the brides chooses and normally only has her choice of people that stand on her side and the same for the groom. Basically she picks her people and he picks his. Now I believe that the decision should be left open to both the bride and groom. I mean what if the groom has a female relataive or friend that he wants to be apart of his wedding, and the same if the brides has a male that she may wants included.  For my wedding I choose to have a very small bridal party. Consisting of just my sister and my godsister. But what if my husband had said that he wanted his sisters to be apart of it or I said I wanted my brother to stand as a groomsmen? That would been perfectly fine. So I'm under the impression that everyone has the same understanding but, according to my husband, I'm the only person that thinks that way. Silly debate, but I wonder...............

Typically for your family and friends being a bridal party attendant is quite an honor, just be sure that you are choosing those who are up to the responsibility, especially your maid of honor and best man.
If the decision becomes a tug of war well, what better time to start getting used to idea of COMPROMISE?
 You'll find that marriage is all about that!!!!!!
