By Samuel Abdullah The bride’s chief attendant at her wedding is the maid of honour. She is a single woman. A matron of honour is a married woman who acts as the bride’s chief attendant. The maid of honour may be your sister, a lifelong friend or someone special who has recently come into your life. It is very important to choose just the right maid of honor and she will be just like your right-hand during this very special but sometimes unnerving time.

The maid of honor should be able to fulfill her duties with grace and poise. The maid of honor should be a friend who shall willingly take on all of the responsibilities of this position and take some of the stress and pressure off of you.

You should be able to count on your maid of honour when you need her as you prepare for your wedding. Her duties consist of much more than just standing beside you as a witness for your wedding and holding your bouquet. Here are some of the duties of the maid of honor:

  1. Before the wedding, your maid of honor may help you select the locations of both your wedding ceremony as well as the reception. She may even offer her opinion about your wedding stationery, and she may even help with addressing the envelopes. The maid of honor may also give her honest opinion concerning the decorations and wedding favors. She may also play a part in the planning and throwing of some of the bridal shower parties.
  2. Before your wedding, the maid of honor may give her opinion as to which wedding attire you should choose as well as the attire of the bridesmaids.

  4. It is the maid of honor’s duty to make sure that your privacy is not breached while you are dressing for your wedding. If you need any messages sent to anyone, the maid of honor should assist you with this.
  5. The maid of honor will hold the groom’s ring for you and will also hold your wedding bouquet during the time you are getting married. She will also be the chief witness of your marriage, and she will also have the privilege of toasting the newlyweds
