For some, choosing a Maid of Honor is easy. It may be the same best friend you’ve had since you were a child, maybe it’s the best friend you made in collage –perhaps you’ve promised someone they’d be your MOH years ago, and now that you’ve set the date, she’s ready to turn in her “right-hand-gal” ticket she’s had on layaway.
