A Maid of Honor's
Responsibility
By Nikola Marshall
You’ve been asked to do the honors for your friend at her
wedding. You need to
be aware that there is much more to it than holding the bouquet
during the
ceremony.
Probably the most important job you will have is keeping the
bride somewhat
calm and sane from planning to the wedding. It will be a
nonstop responsibility
for you to utilize every stress-busting technique known to man!
Listen to her
when she needs an ear. Make sure she’s eating.
Shopping may be the next most important duty you will have. You
may be asked
to assist the bride in shopping for her dress. You will be in
charge of helping the
bridesmaids choose and buy their dresses. You may also be
called into service
to shop for the cake, caterers, photographer, anything that can
be purchased.
In tandem with this is helping with tasks such as addressing
envelopes.
You will be in charge of planning and throwing the bachelorette
party. The bridal
shower is also your responsibility. Be sure to keep track of
all gifts the bride
receives at any function. This will aid her greatly when it
comes time to send
thank you notes.
Now the big day has arrived. No time to rest on your laurels
yet. You need to
make sure that the bridesmaids are at the ceremony, dressed and
ready on
time. The same goes for the bride. Make sure she is dressed and
everything is
in place. Check her veil, train and hair. You’ll need to do
this before the wedding
begins and again once you reach the altar.
You will be in possession of the groom’s ring during the
ceremony. You will also
be in charge of the bride’s bouquet.
Once the vows have been exchanged, you will sign the marriage
license and
dance with the best man during the first official dance.
Your final duty as maid of honor will be to toast the
newlyweds. Then, you may
enjoy the festivities!

One of the most important
traditions of a Maid of Honor is to give the Bride
a
Toast. Traditionally, you'll expect to say a few words
about the bride - maybe a
story about her, a little about how she met the groom and then
your wishes for
their happy future together.
