MAID OF HONOR
This special woman is your “right-hand” woman. She could be your mother, sister or best friend. Think of your maid (single) or matron (married) of honor as your very own lady-in-waiting. She is usually the one who will host the bridal shower. One of her main duties during the wedding is to hold the groom’s ring as well as your bouquet. She will help you with your wedding dress as well as adjust your veil and train as necessary. She should practice beforehand how to bustle the train as this will be one of her responsibilities prior to your entering the reception.
The maid of honor can also offer up a toast at the reception. She would usually do this after the best man’s toast. If you are changing into street clothes after the reception, your maid of honor will assist you and will ensure the best man gets your luggage to the car. She will also be responsible for picking up after you have left and assist your mother with anything she may need help with. She may be asked to assist with loading the gifts into the car.
The maid of honor will listen to the bride. She will need someone to lean on during stressful times and receive encouragement and help her during the planning process.
Therefore, brides, when trying to decide who you want as your maid or matron of honor, keep in mind the above "job description" and she will do you right.
