All you married people out there,

[Freya]

What exactly are the duties of a maid of honour? I've never done it before, and now my friend has gone and asked me to be hers. Besides planning a kickass buck & doe, I don't have a clue.


Oh, and I need a date for June 2004 - anyone interested?

no clue of the duties but you need a married date ?

I'm not married, but I was the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. I planned her bachelorette party and when she needed help doing things, I was there. I helped pick out the bridesmaid dresses as well.

 

[that_girl]

More or less, to be the bride's bitch slave. You help her pick out her dress, the bridesmaid's dresses, drive her places, help her do her hair, compliment her profusely, be her right hand gal in times of trouble, etc. It's a fun and wacky ride

I was maid of honor for my best friend when she got married. I planned the bachelorette party and the bridal shower (have to have a shower if you're in the south), helped out with all the last minute details and did my best to keep her calm the 24 hours before the wedding.

 

[Freya]

Bitch slave, eh? I can do that.

I told them they were crazy for putting me in any position of power, but they insisted. Her boyfriend has no idea what he's in for. She already told him they can't get married in May because I said so.

We have showers up here, but she's told me already that it's to be a Jack & Jill one, because there ain't no way she's sitting there at hers without him having to suffer alongside. And she doesn't want to wear one of those silly paper plate hats, but I don't see any ways we can possibly allow her to get married without putting one on at some point. Plus we have a buck & doe - which I don't think you Americans do. And then the girls' night out before the wedding - whoo hoo, strippers!

Scry - married, single - I'm not choosy. As long as you're tall enough to dance with me.

Hi Freya

 

[Freya]

Hi Freya

Hi Rhys. What'cha doing next June?

 

[Rhys]

I dunno. My company likes to send me to far flung places. Shall I tell them we have Canadian prospects?

Freya please explain the buck and doe? For we dumb Americans.

I have never heard of a "buck and doe" but I am thinking that it must be a bachelorette party or some such thing.

It must be an Eastern Canadian thang. Us WestCoasters prefer the stags.

There's a plan. I'll let ya know the date once it's set, so you can make up a good excuse to fly up here.


BK - basically it's just a party for the bride and groom. If it's a good one, they can end up making quite a bit of money to help pay for the wedding or honeymoon. Usually they'll sell jello shooters, and have games - like tossing twonies at a liquor bottle, whoever is closest wins the bottle and the money goes to the couple, or those wheels like at carnivals where you bet on a square. It's a great time usually - people that aren't going to the wedding can go to that to celebrate with the couple, and it gives the couple a chance to let loose and get tanked, since they usually don't want to at their wedding.

Edited to add - it is a stag basically Mia.

 

[Rhys]

thats a pretty cool idea actually

Sounds kind of fun! Thanks

They're a hoot. They're usually held a month or so before the wedding, and it's just a big drunkfest.

That reminds me, I'll need a date for that as well.

 

[Rhys]

May and June??? Hmmmmmm.....

 

[Freya]

May and June??? Hmmmmmm.....

Think you can convince them that 2 trips to Canada are necessary?

 

[Epiphany]

Freya...throw em a couples shower...those are always fun.
