Being asked to be part of a wedding party is one of the biggest honours that a friend can bestow, a sign that they truly value the relationship – or, perhaps, that they know you’re pretty handy with a spreadsheet and won’t stand on ceremony when it comes to chasing up that final hen do payment.
They’re trusting you to help them to manoeuvre the bathroom in a bridal gown and to smooth any tensions that might bubble over when emotions are running high. They want you in the wedding photos that they’ll keep forever and to place you at the heart of their celebrations.
