My best friend is getting married and I have been asked to be in the wedding party. Seems pretty straight-forward, right? Not exactly...

Think the movie "Made of Honor" with a "My Best Friend's Wedding" twist. My best friend is a guy and I have been asked to be the "Best Woman"! I have been a bridesmaid. I have seen what Maid of Honors do. There are guidebooks on how to be both. But what exactly is a "Best Woman" and what are her duties? What events does she plan? What does she wear? Where does she stand? What does she say in her "Best Woman" speech?


I will share with you my experience as a "Best Woman" through the DÁDIVA Bridesmaid's Diary, chronicling everything from selecting Best Woman attire and working with groomsmen to planning a bachelor party and giving him the proper send-off. I will point out any differences and/or challenges of being in the groom's party vs. bride's party and, if we are really lucky, get insight into the groom's psyche and the infamous world of bachelor parties.

Stay tuned for the first entry of Being the "Best Woman" series:  What to Wear.
