Had 10 groomsmen. Still see all at least once a week and have a running group text we talk on daily. My wife is still close to all but one of her bridesmaids. Married 3 and a half years.

I had 7 groomsmen when I got married in 1990. 6 of them I still see and talk to regularly despite the fact that we are spread all over the country. The 1 I do not see or talk to is an interesting story. My wedding day was the last time I ever saw or spoke to him and same deal with the other groomsmen who were friends of his.

Will be 35 years this year. Had five groomsmen and still talk to four of them few times a month. My best man past away last year of pancreatic cancer and I saw and talked with him every day. Like someone said earlier in the thread go out of your way to keep in touch. You will be happy ya did when you get older.

All but three. One of our bridesmaids died of cancer, one was too nuts to stay friends with (literally), and one of my groomsmen moved away and we lost touch.

Married 18 years.

I get the group text, but how in the world do you hang out with them once a week? No kids? First one married and everyone else still lives in the frat house? Standing 9:00 am tee time on Saturdays?

My dad, my brother, and 3 of my friends I see often.

The other 2 guys, not as much.

Would enjoy seeing them though.

Married almost 26 years

I have been in several weddings.

- A friend of mine I been best friends with since the 5th grade, I was his best man. We still keep in touch.

- A cousin of mine, who is more like my brother/friend that a family member (you can chose who you are related to. You decide who you are friends with so thats what I mean). We keep in touch. I talk with his wife several times a week (she is like a sister).

- The twin brother of that cousin. We grew up like brothers, but he isn't as much of a friend. His wife hates the frick out of me, he stopped associating with everyone he use to associate with.

- One guy I have been friends with since HS. We talk a few times a year. Might get together and play cards, but thats about it.

It seems like I am missing one or two more.

Most of mine was family. I still talk to all of them including bridesmaids. Don't see all of them as much because I moved away and so did some of them.
