Hurray!! You've been chosen as the maid of honour. Congratulations but you must be pretty close with the bride to have been chosen as her maid of honour out of their numerous friends. Miss Maid of Honour, your role  of the maid of honour is very important and it goes a long way in the wedding preparation, during the wedding and after it. Being a maid of homour is not about the beautiful face only, there are works to be done to ensure a successful wedding and a happy bride.

DEAR MAID OF HONOUR

At this point, I don't need to inform you that you are the head of all bridesmaids. You have a lot of duties asides from fanning the bride on the wedding day. In case you are confused about these duties, just relax and read along. Here are the responsibilities your position entails:

1 SELECTION OF BRIDAL WEARS

One of your duties is to help the bride to select her wedding dress. You also help to decide on the colour of attire the aso ebi girls and bridesmaids will be wearing. When it's time for fitting, the maid of honour should be with the bride-to-be to help with the fitting.

2 PLANNING OF THE BRIDAL SHOWER OR BACHELORETTE PARTY

The maid of honour is meant to be the lead planner of the bridal shower or bachelorette party especially if it is a surprise. For her to be chosen amongst all the bride's friends, that means they are quite close and she knows a lot about the bride. Her knowledge about the likes and dislikes of the bride will help in the planning and putting together of the bridal shower games and activities. You could create whatsapp group to ensure proper dissemination of information to the bridesmaids

3 STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEM

The maid of honour is supposed to support the bride from the beginning of the planning to the end of the wedding. At times, wedding preparation gets a little overwhelming and choking. Your job is to make the bride cheerful even when the bride is having cold feet.  This is the period, the maid of honour envelopes the bride to be with positive energy, constant encouragement and unfailing support.

4 ASSISTANT BRIDE PLUS MONEY PICKER        

On the D-day, the maid of honour helps the bride to get dressed and in getting ready. Almost at the same time, she assembles the bridesmaids and hurries everyone to get ready. In owambe, the maid of honour is the official money picker. She picks the money sprayed on the couple on the dance floor. In summary, you are to stick with the bride like chewing gum.

Like I said earlier, this was a special request from one of our reader. I hope we have been able to do justice to the request.
