How to ask someone to be your bridesmaid/Matron of Honour etc

Here is a little gift from me. It is a poem I composed to help you ask the important people in your life to be in your wedding party. Delete the italics and add the name as appropriate.

Perhaps you could frame it with a lovely border or give it as part of a gift?

In any case, If do do use it, I would love to see how you do it – please tag me in any Social Media posts @rockceilidh

All the very best and enjoy!

Mary x (Rock Ceilidh Band)

To (Name of Friend),

You have been with me through good times

and you’ve been with me through bad,

You’ve been with me through all the joys

and the best times that I’ve had,

You’ve been my crazy sidekick

And you’ve danced/laughed with me til dawn,

You’ve always been there for me

The one I’ve leant upon

You’ve shared the laughs and wiped my tears

Had my back when times were tough,

And all these times I cherish,

And remember them with love.

Our friendship is a privilege

enjoyed by just a few

And one knows me better than

my one and only “You”!

I’d love you to be by my side,

To see me on my way

Will you be my Matron of honour/bridesmaid/Best Man/groomsman/Usher*, (Name of friend),

Upon my wedding day?
