Bridal Attendants Aren't ServantsParaphrased from a Detroit Free Press column written by Judith Martin, "Miss Manners": Miss Manners' mail is filled with pleas for help from poor young ladies who find themselves in indentured servitude after being chosen to participate in a wedding. And some of them weren't poor until the bride ordered them to spend lavishly on wedding- related clothing, travel and entertainment. In addition, they may be surprise to find that they are required to wait upon their best friend who has suddenly become their nonpaying employer. But this is a perversion of the position of maid/matron of honor. The only required "lady's maid" tasks are those at the wedding itself, and consist of such fussing as straightening the train of the bridal gown while at the altar, holding the bridal bouquet during the ceremony, and handing the bride a tissue during the reception when her cheeks are streaked with guests' lipstick. Whatever else the maid or matron of honor chooses to do -- not, please note, what the bride tells her to do -- should come from her being the bride's closest friend, and should allow for her own particular circumstances (such as time, money and distance). It would be an insult for the bride to tell her best friend that she cannot serve as maid/matron of honor because she is not available to run errands or host a wedding shower. As a bride, you should make sure your maid/matron of honor knows she is welcome to participate as much as she likes in the preliminaries, but that all that really matters is that she stands with you at the altar. |
