The principal member of the bride's wedding entourage, the maid of honor is often given the most duties and honors in the whole bridal party. She is the female counterpart of the groom's best man.
The term maid of honor traditionally refers to the unwed young woman given the tasks of heading the bridal party or the group of bridesmaids. If the woman is already married, she is called the matron of honor.
In Western tradition, the bride can have as many bridesmaids as she wants, but the maid of honor is considered the bride's main attendant. Most of the time, the appointed maid of honor is a close relative or friend of the bride's.
The Maid of Honor in the UK
In the United Kingdom, when you say maid of honor, you're usually pertaining to the Queen's female attendant. Maid of honor also refers to a form of small cake. The word bridesmaid usually suffices in reference to a bridal attendant. If the bridal attendant is already married or if she's already of mature age, then she can be called the "matron of honor."
Today, some modern English brides are now referring to their principal bridesmaid as their maid of honor. This is mainly due to the strong influence of American English and culture.
Introducing the Man of Honor
A number of modern brides today prefer a close male friend or relative as their head attendant. Although pretty unusual and unconventional, this idea is accepted in most social circles. The man of honor performs the same duties as the traditional maid of honor.
Duties before the Wedding
The maid of honor or the man of honor basically has duties or responsibilities before the wedding, during the wedding and in some cases even after the actual ceremony. The number of duties assigned to the bride's chief attendant may vary depending on the bride's wishes, but the following are some examples of the main duties of the maid or man of honor prior to the nuptials:
* To travel with the bride and help her when picking out the venue for the ceremony.
* To help the bride shop for her wedding gown, as well as to help the bride pick out the dresses for the bridesmaids.
* To help the bride pick out and send out all the wedding invitations.
* To accompany the bride when she registers for her gifts.
* To plan and to host the bachelorette party or hen's party and the bridal shower.
* To help the bride finish the seating arrangements.
* To attend and to help out during the rehearsal dinner.
* To be in contact with the other bridesmaids and to keep things organized.
* To take records of the gifts given during the bridal shower and the bachelorette party.
Duties during the Actual Wedding
The following are the main duties of the maid or man of honor during the actual wedding ceremony.
* To act as the messenger between the bride and whoever she wants to communicate with.
* To help the bride apply her makeup, put on her dress and get ready for her walk down the aisle.
* To make sure that the bride gets enough privacy prior to the wedding.
* To check the reception room and see over the details.
* To help the bride with her wedding train and veil, before, during and even after the wedding.
* To sign the marriage license after the wedding.
* To hold the bride's bouquet during the ceremony if needed.
* To hold the wedding ring of the groom and to hand it to the bride during the wedding ceremony.
* To secure any and all the money that will be handed to the couple during reception.
* To make a toast and say a speech during reception.
* To provide emotional and sometimes even financial support to the bride if necessary.

Matron Knows Best $11.81 Joan Woodcock always dreamed of becoming a nurse. And in 1966 the dream came true. From her very first day as a naive 16 year old cadet, standing nervously outside the matron's office, this is Joan's story of an eventful career spanning over forty years in NHS nursing. Working on hospital wards, casualty units and out in the community, as well as stints in a prison and a police unit dealing with sexual assault, Joan has seen it all. In this moving memoir she gives an honest, revealing account of a challenging, unpredictable and ultimately rewarding life in nursing. From an early encounter with a horrific axe injury to the patient who swallowed their suppositories, to daily dealings with difficult patients and all kinds of bodily fluids, Joan shares memories of laughter and tragedy, and of the now defunct matron system that at one time instilled nurses with such high standards of professionalism and patient care. |

Recollections of a Southern Matron $23.7 The successor to her earlier work, Recollections of a Housewife, Caroline Gilman's 1852 Recollections of a Southern Matron provides a fictionalized account of her observations of Southern culture and women's daily lives within that culture. Claiming the the work is based on fact (Gilman did live in South Carolina with her family), the work provides fascinating insight into family life in the antebellum South, including slavery, education, religion, and courtship rituals. The two works together provide a unique look at domestic life and manners in the nineteenth century. |

Death of a Dunwoody Matron: A Southern Mystery $15.75 2005 Tradepaper reprint. Fifth in the Sheila Travis Mysteries. What does a Dunwoody matron wear to a funeral? Her black tennis dress. It's no joke, however, when the funeral is given for your high school buddy's wife, and she has been brutally murdered. Sheila Travis, successful corporate executive and attractive fortyish widow, has met Yvonne Delacourt once, at a party. Yvonne is stunning, ambitious -- and intensely disliked. Under the local residents' gracious veneer of Southern hospitality, Sheila senses their seething antagonism to young Mrs. Delacourt. When Yvonne is found stabbed to death, the police focus on her husband, Walt, as the most likely suspect. Sheila sets out to clear the pal of her youth by finding out more about those Dunwoody residents who loathed the alluring victim. The spirited search reveals dark secrets more carefully kept than the manicured lawns of this exclusive enclave -- from a respected matron's double life, to a retired couple's vile secret, to an arrogant gardener who has no gardening tools. But the real shocker comes when Sheila, following lurid hints about Yvonne's slippery past, arrives in the dead woman's Florida hometown. Horrific discoveries reveal a soul-chilling evil and elicit unexpected sympathy for Yvonne's killer. Back in Dunwoody, Sheila finds her emotions stirred by an undeniably appealing man with a disturbing connection to the crime. Her maverick investigation startlingly reveals that the biggest secret of all was Yvonne's. |
