    I have at the moment a Matron of honour, Chief Bridesmaid and 3 Bridesmaids, no flower girl.
    2 ushers, Bestman, Groomsman and page boy. Obviously The Bestman has his normal duties to make sure my H2b is calm and gets to the church in one piece. The ushers will be handing out the OOS at the doors. The page boy will be standing with his dad my H2b holding the ring cushion. The Groomsman is there to help the quests into the church , help the bridesmaids out of the car, Instruct the vicar of my arrival etc etc. Matron of honour is to make sure I'm organised, sort out Hen night, organise the bridesmaids.
    Can someone tell me if these duties are right as I'm just guessing.
    Thank you x x

    I have finally found my soulmate
    On 1st Sept 2012 I will become Mrs Curry

    Wow you have got the full set there I think, but I think you have got it about right with their duties. I'm just having 2 adult Bm's and 1 flowergirl. No Bm he let us down, but my cousin is giving me away.

    We haven't started deligating roles yet but I am having my friend as made of honour then my sil2b and my teenage sister as bridesmaids, my youngest sister taking care of our niece as flower girls... then on the otherside theres best man, then my brother and my partners female best friend as ushers, then my little brother as pageboy - so three either side and three little ones (providing no-one else has kids!) Full house I think!

    i having my two daughters as bridesmaids, my best friend as matron of honour and her husband is the best man, my grandson will b pageboy/ring bearer (he will b 6yrs old two days before the wedding.....is this wise having him as ring bearer?????) and then my nephew and H2B son and daughter as ushers...........yea u read it right....his daughter is usher....she doesnt wanna b a bridesmaid so at least she is involved in someway with the wedding.

    their duties have not been decided yet.....got two years to sort that bit out x
