Maid of Honor!!

Most people don’t even know what it means to be chosen as that special person to be a 'maid of honor'. Chief bride’s maid as most of us may call it, is always an exciting and interesting job to take on.

So my friend told me she was chosen to be her friends maid of honor, as inquisitive as I could sometimes be, I asked her what her job entailed. She sent me "lol" I was like, "I'm serious what will you do with this new one day job of yours". She said “I would hold her gown and clean her face and any other thing she wants me to do”. Hahah!

Well, personally I fear this job, YES I do. Because I feel like most brides are usually tensed during this whole wedding preparation phase and, the easiest person to pour it on is the maid of honor. (Disclaimer).

 Well if you have been chosen to be a maid of honor or if you ever get chosen in the future, don’t worry about it, don’t get overwhelmed. Here are a few tips for you. Thank me later..:)

The important thing is to be there for the bride. Even if you can’t be there for each of her dress fittings or her meetings with the caterer or decorators, check up on her… Find out how the meetings went. What they discussed, what conclusions they came up with and do take note of some of these things as you’ll need it on the day of the wedding. Help organize her bridal shower and if u can leave it a surprise. You will make her happy!

Constantly reassure her that this manic phase will all be over, call her once in a while to just talk about stuff not related to the wedding. Handle tasks that she’ll prefer not to, like telling one make-up artist you’ve decided to go with someone else…:*

Just be there for her and be the best friend you can be… Shower her with love and attention! Yes, she’ll get irritated and yes, she’ll get on your nerves once in a while but it is “the most important day” of her life and everyone wants the fairytale wedding so bear with her.

Smile, laugh, hug her and tell her you love her a lot, especially if you do! She’ll call you once or twice to cry… Cry with her and cheer her up. Just be there to hold her hand, whether in person, via e-mail or over the phone. Once she knows you’re trying, she’ll love you for it and she’ll really appreciate you and that’s what true friendship is!

Goodluck!!
