My friend Anna and I were talking last night about some past and upcoming weddings. She asked me what my friend Lisa did at my friend Cari's Wedding. I told her Lisa and another girl handed out programs. Then I went on to say that the one girl held a basket with the programs and Lisa just stood there with her. So Ana summed up the situation by saying, "So let me get this straight, the other girl was the "program attendent" and Lisa was what, the "junior program attendent?" Exactly!!!

It amazes me that your "friends" will ask you to take care of these things for them. I mean, here in the south it is perfectly okay to ask someone to serve cake and punch at your wedding. I personally think that asking someone you consider a "friend" should not be asked to do anything other than be a bridesmaid. If you can't do that then just have them be a guest at the wedding.

So, what are some of the things you have been asked to do for "friends" at weddings?

At every wedding I've been to (traditional Italian weddings), you'll see friends OR family members handing out rice/ bird seed/ bubbles. It would be unheard of to have a family member or friend serve cake and punch.... that's what the wait staff is for!
