Who would be in your wedding?

Don't be fooled by the title, I'm single and not wedding planning...

I heard an interesting talk a few months ago about "Who would be in your wedding" and it's something I've thought as it relationships and how relationships change. In a nutshell, if you were planning your wedding who would be standing-up on your side...Family, close friends, co-workers or simply acquaintances? Do we ask people because we really care about their friendships or out of obligation? "Well, I was in person x's wedding so I need to ask them to be in mine." Weddings can be political with who to ask and family obviously come first, that's not my point...

Guys probably don't think about weddings nearly as much as girls, but after the talk I thought about my relationships and how they've changed. A few years ago, my wedding party would be quite different than if you asked me today. Some friends are more short-term and only in your life for some reason for a brief time. And lately I've felt some friendships drift away. God has brought people into my life (both Christians and non-Christians) over the past few years and it's cool. I continue to realize I'd rather have a few closer friends who genuinely care about my friendship, want me around and enjoy my company, versus tons of friends or people who are just fitting me in their schedule.
