What is Bridesmaid?
[[Image:1bridesmaids crop.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Seven bridesmaids in matching dresses, with the bride]] A '''bridesmaid''' is a member of the [[bride]]'s group in a [[wedding]]. A bridesmaid is usually a young [[woman]], and often a close friend or sister. She helps the [[bride]] on the day of a [[wedding]] or [[marriage]] ceremony. Traditionally, bridesmaids were chosen from unmarried young women who were old enough to be married. The main bridesmaid may be called the '''chief bridesmaid''' or '''maid of honor''' if she is unmarried, or the '''matron of honor''' if she is married. A '''junior bridesmaid''' is a girl who is clearly too young to get married, but who is included as an honorary bridesmaid. {{stub}} [[Category:Marriage]] [[Category:Women]]
