<tt>10 Reasons Why Your Mom should be Your Maid of Honor Like any middle school girl, I would play MASH or plan out my wedding with my friends. I always wanted to make sure I would have the perfect dress, the perfect location, and not to forget, the perfect man. But I would also spend a lot of time thinking about who I wanted my maid of honor to be. I agreed with my friends, that she would have to be my best friend, since diapers. The one that I shared all my deepest darkest secrets with. Then, reality set in and I didn't have one of those best friends because I had moved in grade school. Also, I found out over my high school years, that girls can be two-faced. Thirdly, let's face it, people often grow apart overtime. Don't get me wrong, I have the best friends a girl could dream of, but there is no one that has been through EVERYTHING with me except my Mom. She has been to every dance recital, volleyball game, doctor's appointment, shopping trip, and well, everything in my entire life. And if she wasn't there, I spent hours telling her what happened, if I had fun or of it was the worst time of my life, and she would listen (still listens) to my endless rants. And it finally clicked, she would have to be my Maid of Honor one day. Some other reasons to why I have come to this conclusion are the following: 1. she is your only true "day one" 2. not to mention she birthed you so this makes this fact even more prominent 3. She will be the most honest when you are trying your wedding gown on because she wants you to look breathtaking 4. she will be the best planner because she knows your dislikes and likes, better than anyone ever 5. not to mention, she's hosted plenty of parties so why not your wedding? 6. she is the first person you call when your upset, so if your a trainwreck or just having the marriage jitters, she'll be there to calm you down (and it will actually help a lot because she has been married for 30 plus years) 7. and you'll never be that bridezilla cuz your mom will tell you that you are being a brat and will never take your nonsense8. but she never hesitates to stand up for you if the wedding cake man is ripping you off 9. not to mention, if you don't have a sister, you won't have to contemplate which friend means the most to you and hurt their feelings when you pick the high school bff over the college bff 10. she will cry the most out of all your bridesmaids because she is the happiest person there. This is because she sees that you are happy and loved like you deserve and this is makes her heart feel complete. So if you still aren't sure about who you want as your maid of honor, think about who you would want standing right next to you on your wedding day. The woman I choose will be the one who has been there for me ALWAYS, someone I admire, a woman I know for a fact loves me unconditionally, my biggest supporter- my best friend. You're my rock Mom, I love you.</tt>
