Do you know that 60's saying? Always a bridesmaid never a bride? Well, that's me...to say the whole truth I was the maid of honour twice...which confirms that I always choose the wrong guy...but apparently I'm a great friend!

Pre-Wedding

There is sooo much to do before a wedding! Let's face it...grooms don't really take on many responsabilities, claiming that they don't know much about it and that it's a girl's dream and that they're letting you do the stuff...because you do it best!  We know that, but we don't want to tell her that right? Especially if we like the guy and don't want this wedding to be called off!

When you see her making lists, even mentally, just tell her you'll take care of a few.  This will relieve her of the pressures.  You might think it not to be much to make a phonecall and get an appointment, but for her it's help.  All she needs to do is just go!

Opinions

If you're the maid of honour, you must be a trusted friend so your honest opinion is definitely important! However, remember it's HER day, so see everything from her eyes.  Don't tell her "Oh my goodness, I hate the style!" If it's not your style but it's very her, then tell her so. Forget about your tastes and focus on hers.

Stress

There will always be stress both before and during the wedding day. 

Be There For Her

At some point she will get a weakness - she might doubt if she's doing the right thing or maybe she's being stressed by family or the future in-laws.  Let her take it out - always find time to listen to her and give her your support.  Never, ever, say bad things about her family or in-laws though.  She might be saying bad things cause of her stress but might take it badly if you point your fingers at them.  Just remind her it's her wedding and that she has to make sure everything is as she likes it and not care about others' opinions...apart her future husband's of course!
