| Yes, if you are a single female, you would be a Maid of Honor. If you are a married female, you would be a Matron of Honor. If you are a male, this is quite an honor, as brides usually have only females standing up with them.
The role of a Maid/Matron of Honor prior to the wedding would be to assist the bride in whatever she needs for you to do, whether it is to help with the errands, shopping, etc. During the wedding ceremony, you would stand next to the Bride as a witness and you would also sign the marriage certificate. You may need to make a speech at the reception, if there is one. Just be there for the bride in any way that she needs you to be. If you are a female, you will be forever with her wherever she goes, whether it is to go with her to the washroom to fix her makeup, etc. If you are a male, well, just try to be near her at all times just in case she needs you to do something for her. I wouldn't follow her into the bathroom though!!!! |
