Have you ever been the maid of honor or the best man?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311) 2 years ago

It is a honor to be the maid of honor or the best man. I have been a maid of honor at the wedding party twice. The first time is when my sister got married when i was still a senior hight student; i was so excited then because it was my first time to be a maid of honor and also i was happy for my sister who finally got married. Thats a nice momory. The second time is for my senior hight classnate's wedding. She is my best friend and classmate so i was invited to be her maid of honor and i accepted without any hesitation. It was also a nice memory.

As the maid of homor you could share the happiness with them and witness their wedding from the very beginning to the end which is such a wonderful thing.

I am wondering how many of you here have ever been the maid of honor or the best men. Share your experience with us.

I was a bridesmaid twice. Once for my cousin and another time for my friend, But I was never a maid of honor. I was glad to be part of those weddings and I feel privileged to have worn a gown and walked the aisle and partake in the romance that is a wedding.

I am to be married in church real soon and my maid of honor is my best friend. I love her dearly and would love to share my special moments with her and she is quite happy with that as well.

First i think i will have to make clear of the difference between the bridemaid and the maid of honor. Would please give me more explanation. I thought they were exactly the same for i am from China and i think Chinese wedding ceremony is quite different from other countries.

Congratulations! and i am sure you friend is very happy to be your maid of honor.

Hi there Kelly Sun!

Yes, just recently, I was the maid of honor on my cousin, who also happens to be my best friend's wedding. It was really an honor to be chosen as the maid-of-honor especially with the years that passed, with the two of us living far away from each other, she already made lots of new friends so I was really flattered when she asked me to be her maid-of-honor.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

Same to me when i was asked to be my high schoolmate's maid of honor. We got along very well during the school days but after graduation we contacted less. When she was about to get married she called me and invited me to be her maid of honor and it was really a honor for me and i accepted without hesitation. Now she is pregnant and i am happy for her that she will soon be a mom.

I had only one time being the maid of honor for my aunt.That time I was a teenager and didn't how to be a good maid of honor.It is do embarrassed when I think of it.
When I grow up and I want to be the maid of honor for my friends,but there is no one to marry until now.So,I have no chance to be an excellent maid. Maybe that day is coming~~


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

yes, we were too young to know things need to be paid attention to during the wedding ceremony, especially if it is your first time to be a maid honor or the best man, but actually no one really cared about that, and i was doing fine for the first time.

Dont worry if you are still young surely you have more chances to be a maid of honor while at that time you will have a lot of experiences.


myLot reputation of 91/100. miranda521 (249)   ranked 4,713 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Thank you for your reply.There will be many chance to be a maid of honor~


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

yes, of course and i can tell from your photo that you are a young and sweet girl.

no i haven't maid of honor but really being a maid of honor is really a good thing because you fell comfortable that you also have a respect.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

yes, and at the same time you can witness the real wedding ceremony and share their happiness. Its a very good thing. whats more in china maid of honors (usually there are two)will be given a red envelope (with money in) by the bride.

I was a maid of honor in my sister's wedding. She is seven year older than me, so I was pretty young when I was her maid of honor. I think I was only 16 or 17 years old. It was hard for me financially to do the kinds of things a maid of honor should do, so my mom helped me out. It was very fun and I was truly honored that she asked me to take a place next to her on one of the most important days of her life.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

My sister is 4 years older than i am and when she got married i was almost the same age as yours then (16 or 17 years old), i knew nothing about wedding, i only knew that i should accompany her to walk for some while, Luckily, i was not doing something funny or wrong then and i was so happy for her.

I never got the chance to be a brides maid. actually, i never attended a weeding ceremony ever. I hope, one day, someone would appoint me for that position. I'd love to wear gowns and walk the isle too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

Maybe you are still very young...Whatever it is try to make more friends and get along well with your friends and when they get married they will surely ask your to be their maid of honor. happy

Hi kellysun! I was the maid of honor at my best friends first
wedding! It was many years ago and unfortunately the marriage
didn't last more than eight years, I think! Then she got
married again and I didn't go to that wedding! That marriage
lasted longer, she has a 21 year son who is my godchild, but
she got divorced again and it was a terrible ordeal! I was
asked to be the maid of honor at another friends wedding, but
couldn't afford the expense and she had 4 sisters already in
her wedding party! And yes, that marriage also ended quickly
in divorce! So, my friends who did get married didn't exactly
have the best of luck! I hope yours have better!


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

thats really too bad.

i have been maid of honor twice, one is for my sister and the other is for my best friend. they are both living very well now. My sister has been married for 8 years and she still gets along well with her husband. my best friend got married last year and she is pregnant now, and her husband is very good to her and her parents.

I haven't been a maid of honor yet, since non of my friends are married. Hehehe. But my sister is getting married next year, and I'll be her maid of honor. I can't wait for the wedding, but all this planning and organizing is really hard. Hehehehe. Who would have thought that planning a wedding is really going to take up that much time! LOL. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

Now that you are informed a year in advance you have enough time to prepare it and i am sure you will witness a wonderful wedding ceremony.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ingkingderders (2660)   ranked 4,475 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

I hope so too. My sister is turning into a bridezilla unfortunately. LOL.

But I do wish her a beautiful wedding. Hopefully everything would turn out great. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

i am sorry but i dont think i could understand your Bridezilla here. Could you please kindly tell me?

yes, everything will turn out to be great!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ingkingderders (2660)   ranked 4,475 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Hehehe. I think there's a show about this, soon to be brides turning into monsters (figuratively of course) during the planning of their wedding. They turn bossy and demanding and they check every single detail and give stress to everyone around them. LOL.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kellysun (2311)  2 years ago

oh, i see, so its the name of a horrible movie. It must be exciting for the beautiful brides turn out to be the horrible monsters, but i dont think i would watch it. Frightening!
