When you've finally have made a decision before you ask make sure you have written down what's expected and what you want out of a Maid of Honor so that she knows exactly what's expected and not shocked or overwhelmed later.
The Maid of Honor is in charge of the bachelorette party, helping with choosing the dress and basically she is there when you are overly stressed and you just need a little bit of extra help.

If you have a group of friends that you are very close to you please remember that they are your friends and they should understand the stress of choosing a maid of honor. You can pick one that you think will be the most reliable and has less going on in their life and to make the others feel important assign little things for them to do like a reading at the ceremony or helping with the bridal shower.

In making plans for the Wedding it sometimes gets a little over whelming. The main thing to focus on is your relationship with your future life partner. Keep in mind that nothing is perfect and although you want your day to be amazing, something is going bound to go wrong. Don't stress the little stuff and roll with the punches.

Getting things and ideas together is very difficult and I was under the impression that grooms don't really care about the details of the wedding. I prepared myself in thinking that I would be doing this all alone and just going over final things with him. To my surprise, when we began to think about the location of the ceremony and colors Jason was all for giving his opinions and even saying no to some of my opinions...lol. I thought it was funny because I never really heard that before(a guy being so involved). I then got a little irritated because he wasn't saying yes to anything...I then realized he needs to get the visual!... so I put stuff together to get him looking at colors and then he was getting a better mental picture. He's made this process so far very pleasurable. He's very interested in looking at venues and colors and looking through books with me. He's supportive and just wants me not to be stressed, which I think may be more for his benefit in the end. Either way I know he's a keeper! lol

I am happy to announce that I have two out of the three checked off!!! I have always loved this church and remember thinking a while back that I would love to get married in this particular church. I have choosen St. Bernardine's Catholic Church in Suitland, Md. My mother use to help at the church and the pastor there. Although the pastor, Fr. DePorter has left that location he has remained very much a friend of the family. He retired and is now helping at other churches to occupy his time. There was no question in my mind that I wanted him to marry Jason and I...and sure enough as soon as he heard I was engaged, he volunteered his services. He's a very kind man! He sent me music tapes for the ceremony to see what songs I might like, but ummm I think I will be searching some more. Fr. DePorter has met Jason, and his family, blessed my engagement ring and is asking questions about reception venues. I think its pretty funny that he's soo involved, but I think its a great thing. I love having all this support and love.
