Wedding planning

I'm getting married at 32 for the second time. I'm having a difficult time trying to decide whether or not to have bridesmaids and I think I would rather just have my 6 year old daughter by my side. I assured my groom (this is his first wedding...and he has about 5 close friends he would like to have as groomsmen) that it was ok for me to just have my daughter and him to have groomsmen. HELP!! He thinks I should just suck it up and ask some friends (but I feel bad asking my sisters and friends to put up the cost of being bridesmaids again for my second wedding)! Any advice?
