Are people in entourage play their roles in the wedding?

I am wondering about this because sometimes they became accessories and burden to the hosts. They are supposed to be there to help the couples in the ceremony especially the maid-of-honor and the best-man. I think it is likely to have them but how can we make them worthy to the given opportunity? Is it okay for you if there is no entourage? How would you choose these people?

Haha, sometimes they are just decorations. IN fairness to those who know exactly what to do and where to go. Entourage should attend rehearsals prior to the wedding.

exactly they should attend rehearsals but sometimes because of their tight schedules in class, appointments, and jobs they couldn't attend. So the result??? A messed entourage (esp. for first timers)... have you experience to be one of the entourage?

Yes but only two "flower-girl" roles ever, 1 bridesmaid and one maid of honor. I was clueless what to do on all occasions! All informed me a day or a night before because the real ones backed out.

wow! that was challenging role. Like your case we can't point our fingers if the ceremony wasn't so good. I hope it was a memorable experience...Thanks for dropping.

I want an entourage, but I'm going to make sure they know why they are there and they know what to do. I'm planning to get our closest and dearest friends for my entourage because I want them to take part in one of the most important events in my life and at the same time, it'll be easy for me to talk to them about the "roles" they're going to play on that day. :)

I didnt have the entourage when I got married. I also dont want the maid of honor to look more beautiful than me. lol And having an entourage is also expensive so they're really not necessary in the wedding. The most important part of the wedding is the ceremony but for some, the most important part of the ceremony is the reception. lol

Nowadays, weddings are more an elaborate show for all known relatives to the nth degree than an occasion celebrating the union of two people who love each other. With this, I believe that the only important people in the wedding are the sponsors or godparents and you're real parents; the others are just pieces in a chessboard.
