My sister just got engaged and i was wondering what my place in the wedding would be. Does the brother have any duties in the wedding?
Thanks Chris Gray

Dear Chris:
You must wait until you are asked by the bridal couple to be a part of the wedding. You are not instantly made a part of the bridal party just by virtue of your relationship but hopefully your sister will see how excited you seem to be about this wedding and she will ask you to play some role.
If she selcts you to be an usher, reader, etc. you can come back and ask us what your role consists of and what your duties will be in that role.

I was not expecting to be in the wedding right off the bat but i was wondering as the brother of the bride is there anything that i should do as her brother to either help her out or things that a brother is expected to do. Thanks Chris G

Ahh..all right. I do want to note that no one should really have any expectations of you as the brides brother but it is very sweet of you to be concerned. With that said, you sound as though you want to be involved in any way you can so I would simply suggest being there for your sister. Ask her directly if there is any way you can help. Speak to her groom and let him know that you are there to help him as well. Be sure to listen when they talk about the planning and if you hear any ways you think you can help make the suggestion, but then step back and allow them to respond. Many bridal couples enjoy the planning process and want to do most of it themselves so be careful not to step on any toes. Once you have announced your willingness to be involved then it is up to them to ask. Let them both know how much you care for them and want to support them in their marriage and in the wedding planning.
What a wonderful brother you are! Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
