Married 31yrs.
3 - my sisters.
I wouldn't say we are close. They all live hours away, and we really have nothing in common anymore.

I was married 22 years ago.
I had three bridesmaids.
Two of the bridesmaids are still part of my life (one is my sister) and the other was lost in an ugly falling out about 13 years ago.

How long ago were you married? 14 years
How many bridesmaids did you have? 3 attendants (my husband's only sibling & my best friends from HS & undergrad) plus 3 junior attendants (my husband's nieces & a cousin's daughter)
Are all of your bridesmaids still part of your life? Yes, but to differing degrees. We live 300 - 800 miles from any of them, but keep in touch via telephone, text, card exchanges, & occasionally in person - my friends & (now 35 y.o.) cousin by choice, but my husband's sister & her (now 28 & 30 y.o.) daughters by obligation & only when unavoidable (e.g. FIL's funeral).

Just under 4 years. 4 bridesmaids. All of them are still a part of my life. Two are family members and two are very close friends.

2006 (8 years) 5, including two MOH and a Jr Bridesmaid Two were my sisters, so yes I still talk to them. One I hardly ever talk to, one I talk to more through Facebook comments on posts than I ever did in person, and the other sporadically. We touch base a couple times a year.

I had 3; well one maid of honor and 2 bridesmaids. I was married 26 years ago. My 2 bridesmaids are on facebook but I haven't actually seen them in probably 20 years. I tried to get together with one a few years ago because I pass her house everytime I visit my mom but it didn't work out.
My sister was my maid of honor and I haven't spoken to her in 5 years.
I had 2 flower girls (my nieces) and we are in contact mostly by facebook.

I had one, DH's sister. She lives in town and I saw her regularly for 33 years until my DH died. Evidently in that family when the blood relative dies the surviving spouse is no longer considered family  Oh, unless they have a gift giving occasion like weddings and showers  Wow, this made me sad akathy. I had an uncle die (mom's brother) and my aunt said she was do afraid she would loose her relationship with us (me & my siblings), especially with my mom's dementia. She lives in Scotland and has visited several times since his death and one sis and a few niblings have been over to see her - I wished she lived in the same town and we could see her more. To the OP: 19 yrs 1 attendant still one of my BFF's (haven't lived in the same country for 15 years, but see each other 2-3 times a year and one of my favorites to travel with)

Three bridesmaids. Fourteen years married.
My MOH is still my best friend. One is my SIL, so I can't ditch her. The other is just a FB friend now; I don't see her any more IRL (she is "child-free" and basically removed herself from my real life once I became a mother.)
ETA for groomsman info- DH's best man was his brother. We saw him yesterday. One groomsman passed away about eight years ago- so sad. Another is a Marine (whatever they call Special Forces these days,) so we don't ever know where he is, though we almost saw him a few months ago. He is also DS's godfather.

Married a little over 12 years ago 3 Bridesmaids Two bridesmaids were family (cousin and SIL) obviously still in my life MOH, friend, in my life through facebook, but I am 5 years older, my kids are 5 years older than hers and we are just at different places in our lives. I was her MOH too and if we lived a little closer we'd still hang out.

I had four. My wedding was eighteen years ago as of next month. I am still in touch with them, but we now literally live in five corners of the US thousands of miles away from one another so rarely see each other.

Married 25 years. Five bridesmaids. Still in touch with all. My sister was MOH, my SIL was a bridesmaid. The other three I see sporadically, keep up on facebook and with phone calls. All five live in my city.

Married 24 years. 2 BM. One was my best friend in HS and the other was the best man's wife. I am still friends with my high school girlfriend but the best man and his wife divorced because she was crazy and I haven't seen her in over 20 years.

How long ago were you married? 20
How many bridesmaids did you have? 7
Are all of your bridesmaids still part of your life? Every one of them. They were my best friends from college and we all remain close and keep in touch regularly. We used to vacation together with our families, but as the kids have gotten older it has gotten harder to do.

I am coming up on my 20th wedding anniversary, so I was flipping through my album yesterday. I had four bridesmaids, I no longer see or speak to two of them! One of them is a friend, we just drifted apart. The other is my SIL, who we had a falling out with recently. So my three part question: How long ago were you married? How many bridesmaids did you have? Are all of your bridesmaids still part of your life? 18 months ago. Two, plus my niece who was a Jr Bridesmaid. My maid of honor is not. She lost her mind shortly after the wedding.

Married in 1984. (30 years this month!) Since I was 36, I had my sister and her daughter, my niece, as my 2 attendants. My sister passed away in 2005 and my niece lives in Missouri. We are in contact with each other but I haven't seen her since my sister died.

I've been married over 18 years. My two sisters, and my sister-in-law were my bridesmaids and my best friend at the time was my MOH. She and I are in contact on FB, but that's it now. Just time and distance changed our relationship really. No falling out or anything. My husband doesn't really talk to any of his wedding party any more and the one we did see regularly was sadly killed in an accident 2 years ago.

Married 24 years (25 in March!) 1 Maid of Honor We are still friends but not as close as we used to be. We live in different states. Even if we lived in the same state, she is a very different person than she was when we were close friends. She is still a wonderful person and I am very happy for her that she has found such happiness but her lifestyle and mine don't mix as well as it used to. I love getting together with her when I am in town or when she comes to my town.

Married 20 years.
I only had 1. It was a small wedding. I originally asked my friend, but she bailed on me (she had been over at our house and tripped on an uneven part of the driveway and then went after money for her allegedly hurt ankle from my dad-she got some). After that, she stopped talking to me.
I then had to rush to find someone else and decided to use my oldest sister. It wasn't like we had a special relationship or anything but she could handle the duties and expense and such so I went with that.
I do not speak to her anymore and haven't really had much of a relationship with her ever. We've been casual acquaintances (birthday parties for the kids etc) over the years but that's about as close as we ever got. She's 8 years older than I am (oldest of 5, I'm the youngest) but she's always been super bossy and just not overall very nice.

I was married 11 years ago. I had 5 bridesmaids. I am still in touch with all of them because they were my sister, 3 cousins, and a friend my DH and I were close to in college.
