A friend on FB was posting about a wedding she is going to be in as the MoH and was venting about the bride (the post I assume was custom so the bride couldn't see). Apparently this bride is demanding that her MoH do everything for her, and all her free time should be spent doing research for this bride's wedding (even though my friend has her OWN wedding to plan too). Even things like make sure everything goes smoothly on the wedding day, have the bags packed and ready for the honeymoon, set-up and clean up the reception hall - just to name a few. There was a laundry list of things the MoH needed to do.
Some of it sounded reasonable, others sounded like it would be more along the lines of a wedding coordinator/planner (read: some one who is getting paid to do it). My friend seemed pretty frustrated with the workload she was being given and expected to complete.
So, I just became curious and wonder what exactly the duties of the MoH entailed. Seeing as this doesn't affect me, please feel free to be blunt. I've been a bridesmaid before, all I really did was go to a few things the bride asked me to (dress shopping, hair/makeup appointments, parties, etc.) and I don't remember the MoH having that many duties. I was an out-of-town bridesmaid though, and the bride understood my commute, so perhaps that could explain that? Also, the couple did have a wedding planner, so that could be why too. Anyway, I'm curious now, so please share what you think. =D What is acceptable, what is considered over-the-top? Thanks!
