I had no idea you had written this and I decided to get on and read about your life...now that you are thousands of miles away from me and I felt so close to you while reading this. Yes I am the bride to be but it means so much to me that you put such thought and consideration into your maid of honor role. You are an amazing person and so selfless! I could not ask for a greater friend! You are THE BEST maid of honor anyone could ever ask for! And yes, she is doing many tasks while thouands of miles away with a new apartment, a new job and an amazing new start. She is taking these tasks and responsibilies with grace and ease...at least from what I can see and I would not want anyone else to stand beside me on my big day...you are my right hand girl and I love you for it! I cannot wait to share this day with you and have you in my life. I especially cannot wait until we are sitting on the back pourch drinking spiked anything and watching our kids play. I love you forever!!! This entire entry brought tears to my eyes!

On the day of the wedding everything's pretty much a blur. With my brother's wedding, someone had to actually grab me, shove me in the room and tell me to change otherwise I was never going to make it to the actual wedding. Now, in my defense, I do like everything to be perfect. I do want to make sure that everything is in place, everyone's taken care of, and everything's been done properly (yes, I'm anal like that.) After all, he was counting on me. As for your situation and having a co-maid of honor? Not sure! You ask a good question, who will get to stand next to the bride? I just can't imagine how that will work, unless she's already decided that her "sister" is just there to help with everything leading up to the ceremony, and you're the one standing next to her. Personally I would want to make sure that everyone involved know of the plan, whatever it may be, so that you can avoid embarrassing moments later on.
