Pick bridesmaides for more than looks!
The union of lovers in Anglo-Saxon times meant abducting the bride from her family. To do this the groom needed the help of his friends, which were called bridesknights or bridesmen. They made sure the bride got to the ceremony and the groom's house afterwards. The bride also had women to help her called brideswomen or bridesmaids.
The ceremony in Greenland was marriage by capture and after The parents gave consent, the bride was taken from her home by a group of women. She pretended to resist until she was left at the house of her intended.
In Roman weddings the bride was escorted by several friends and three boys to her groom's house. The procession was led by one of the boys carrying a torch of pinewood. The door of the groom's house was decorated with garlands of flowers and on arrival the bride was bodily lifted across the threshold by the men. These men had to be married, otherwise bad luck might result.
So I guess your bridesmaids should be the girls that have your back. Not just a relative.
