Brides
Maids' Advice Page
The Bride's honour attendant is called the Maid of Honour if she
is an unmarried woman, Matron of Honour if she is or has been
a married woman, and if you happen to select a male you may refer
to him as your Best Person or Man of Honour. It is important that
you have someone of legal age to sign the wedding documents The
role of the maid of honour before and during the wedding day is
to help and support the Bride. It is important to select someone
dependable. They may be a sister or a very close friend. They
could of course be another relative such as a cousin or even mother
or daughter of the Bride. Your honour attendant may certainly
be someone who lives out of town, but remember that they will
not be able to help with as many pre-wedding details.
