Out of all her attendants, the bride relies most heavily on her honor attendant. Traditionally, the maid of honor is the bride's closest sister or friend. A married honor attendant is referred to as a matron of honor. In cases where a bride chooses to have both a maid and a matron of honor, the maid of honor's role takes precedence during the ceremony.
Before the wedding, the maid of honor's duties include coordinating the bridesmaids' activities, such as meeting for a dress fitting and organizing the bridal shower. She also helps the bride with any preparatory errands or tasks, like addressing the invitations and keeping records of all the gifts.
On the wedding day, the maid of honor helps the bride dress and accompanies her to the ceremony. She signs the marriage license as the bride's witness, arranges her veil and train during the processional and recessional, and holds her bouquet at the altar. At the reception, she dances with the best man and organizes the bridesmaids for formal pictures. Before the couple leaves for their honeymoon, she helps the bride change, and makes certain her dress and bouquet are preserved afterwards.

Have you cut back or eliminated meat from your eating plan?
Enjoying meat is does not have to be a thing of the past. If you choose the right cut and portion size it can fit into a healthful eating plan. A healthful eating plan calls for five to seven ounces of meat, fish or poultry every day. To make that plan work, choose lean cuts of meat. Cuts with most of the fat on the exterior, which can be trimmed, make the best choices. Trimming visible fat can reduce fat intake by as much as 50 percent.
Keep your portion sizes in line, one is about equal to a deck of cards, this provides adequate protein while controlling fat. Choose cuts from the loin, flank, or round. And don't make meat the focus of your meal. Plan meals to include a side dish, vegetables, salad, whole grain bread and even dessert. Enjoying a wide variety of foods is easy when you plan lean.
