To be a witness at a wedding is an honorable and traditional duty of the bride's best friend. She is almost the main person in the ceremony after the newlyweds, since the most important duties and anxieties in organizing the wedding are laid on her and the witness.
The duties of a friend at a wedding are by no means limited to the presence of the aforementioned person at a wedding ceremony. The first chores begin long before the holiday. They are associated with the organization of the wedding itself, the provision of moral and, as far as possible, practical support to the bride, as well as maintaining the appropriate atmosphere of the wedding commotion. So, the witness at the wedding ... What should she do during the celebration?
The first thing that such a girl does is to study a ton of special literature (wedding magazines, booklets) to help plan the celebration. It is on her shoulders that negotiations with decorators, make-up artist, hairdresser often lie, that is, the main duty of a friend on pre-wedding days is the feasible assistance to the bride in organizing a wedding entourage. Sometimes, if a witness is fond of creativity, she creates
pillows for rings as a
gift to newlyweds ,
arranges wedding bottles of champagne and glasses or decorates baskets for rose petals. The next thing a
witness should do
at a wedding (or rather, even before the wedding) is to help the bride with the choice of dress. After all, who else will give good advice on such a delicate matter, if not the best friend? And, of course, she is also the one who organizes such a new-fashioned ritual as a bachelorette party.
But here comes the crucial date. The bride is worried, but the witness at the wedding is no less worried! What should a girl do first? Of course, helping a friend become the most dazzling. She is present when dressing the bride, applying makeup, combing her hair, remembers the advice of a makeup artist and hairdresser - during the day she will have to correct her bride’s hair more than once, to renew her makeup to preserve its beauty and freshness.
Well, with the preparations, everything is clear. And before leaving the house, the witness at the wedding, what should she do? First of all, to collect everything you need - from wet wipes and powder boxes to spare stockings, batteries to the camera and other trifles, so that in case of force majeure circumstances you can save the bride’s outfit and her good mood.
A very interesting moment on the wedding day is the bride’s ransom, which is carried out by the same friend. As you can see, a very important role is the witness at the wedding! What should this person do in this case? Of course, prepare yourself well. To come up with an interesting ransom scenario, simple but inventive tasks for the groom, all kinds of jokes and jokes so that the ransom process is as fun as possible and sets the tone for the whole wedding.
During the ceremony, the witness must clearly follow the instructions of the registry office employee, conduct the necessary ceremonies with the witness, and also put her signature in the registration certificate. But here, her duties do not end there. The witness should accompany the bride during the photo shoot, so that, if necessary, she can straighten her dress, fix her curl or help correct her makeup, so that everything looks perfect on camera. Often witnesses act as freelance assistants to the photographer and cameraman - holding a flash, backgrounds, reflectors.
And finally, when the celebration goes to the hall, the witness will still not be left aside. Toastmaster must have in store many mandatory competitions with witnesses, so you will have to be in the spotlight until the end of the holiday. So, as you see, the role of a witness is rather complicated and full of responsibilities. But she’s also pleasant: to arrange a wonderful holiday for a close friend is not a joy?
