Hello everyone! I guess I'm posting this in the right section but if not, please still give ya advice. So my first cousin's wedding is a month away ,and I got to know yesterday that I'm gonna be her chief bridesmaid. I won't lie, I'm scared cos I'm naturally introverted and I'm scared of crowds and places that bubble. Now I have to be out there, you know, all eyes on the couple and bridal train. Please are there any tips I can get on how to act on that day? It's my first time, I don't wanna do somtin unusual. Thanks.

DUTIES OF THE MAID OF HONOUR ON THE WEDDING DAY.

My definition of 'maid of honour' or 'Chief Bridesmaid' is
"MAID" of Honour and Chief Brides'MAID' Emphasis on the maid. Incase you didn't know, you are supposed to be the bride's MAID for the day. I see a lot of people choose their bestfriends for this role but it is also important to choose someone who you think can perform the duties of a maid of honour ON the wedding day.

1. ACT AS THE POINT PERSON. No wedding planner? No problem. The maid of honor should give out her phone number to all of the key vendors and family members in advance so she can help field any questions for the bride and keep everyone on track.

2. FEED THE BRIDE (okay, not literally). The morning of the wedding can be a fast and frantic experience and some brides simply forget to eat. And let's be honest, no one likes a cranky bridezilla.

3. BE ON DRUNK PATROL. IF your bride plans on enjoying some bubbly with the girls, it's your duty to try and keep the bride and bridesmaids to a one to two glass max.

4. HELP HER GET DRESSED. Getting a nervous woman into possibly the most expensive, elaborate dress she'll wear in her life is no small task. You'll want to be certain everything is laid out in advance, from undergarments to shoes to jewelry. There will be a lot of lifting and rearranging involved.

5. BE AT HER BECK AND CALL. While your bride sits for hours getting gorgeous, she'll need your help fetching things, dealing with her phone and generally calming her nerves the whole time.

6. ACT AS A GATEKEEPER. If there are family members or friends that are known to seriously stress out the bride, it's your job to keep them away from her, as best you can.
              If by all means, you want your bestfriend to be your maid of honour for your big day, you can send her to La' Heiress one day training school, where she would learn all about her duties as a maid of honour.

Thank u very much

u r welcome

@Laheiress very true.Dear bride'smaid 2 be,it's very true 2 no ur duties, if not d purpose of dt role might b abused as most BM only want 2 b noticed n sometimes they compete with d bride(d owner of d day).

More importantly, u nid 2 dress up "Simple but Tight", a short dress wt balanced heels feels more comfortable for a BM than a flowing dress n pencil heels, for u 2 perform ur duties effectively with ease.

Nope wedding is on the 18th of April.

I need you to listen to me very carefully Sugarpeaches. Panic!..Yes, panic! Pay no attention to details concerning the bride. Let your mind race..take rapid short breaths. Be scared..turn purple and sweat it out!

Just kidding, you will be fine

It's not actually a big deal. The main focus of the day will be the Bride and Groom. Everyone would be busy taking pictures of them, waiting for a fall, waiting for their first kiss, First dance, First on-stage romance. All you have to do is: fan her, help with her gown(esp the walk-in and dancing stage), clean her face in sight of sweat or makeup running down, run some errands for her and sit by her side.

Oh my God! Why do I know all these?! *runs away*
