Even celebrities have to be bridesmaids sometimes.

Being chosen as a maid of honor may be the greatest privilege as a friend. Several duties come with being a bridesmaid, which makes it a serious commitment. Whoever is chosen to fulfill that role has to act as the bride’s best friend and best supporter.
These stars looked absolutely gorgeous as maids of honor, so I bet they still stole some of the spotlight just by being present at the wedding. It certainly got all our attention, so we must not be alone. Nevertheless, it was interesting to see these celebrities as bridesmaids. It’s a refreshing change from their usual style.
Wait, an AITA asked for wedding dress money after sharing a secret, was it justified? Check out this maid-of-honor money clash.
