That’s What Happens When You Pick Your Best Friend As Maid Of Honor For Your Wedding

ADVERTISEMENT

A Maid of Honor has various important duties to uphold. Primarily she’s there to provide practical and emotional support to the bride. She might also help with her veil, bouquet, and anything else she might require assistance with. But the most important thing about being a Maid of Honor is that they are not, under any circumstances, to upstage the bride on her special day, but as you can see from these wedding pictures snapped in Alberta, Canada, nobody told Sharilyn Wester that!

The wedding photographer, Ashley Hempel, asked Sharilyn to assist with the veil toss portion of the couple’s wedding photoshoot, but the Maid of Honor decided to take her duties to the next level by making the day of her best friend Rebecca and her husband James Foster even more special with a series of hilarious photo poses. Fortunately, Rebecca was in on the whole thing, but nobody warned James, which may explain some of his own awkward poses. “The groom had no idea about this photo idea,” said Sharilyn, “but once we started acting goofy, he played along and was laughing.”

Despite the seemingly impromptu nature of the shoot, the Maid of Honor revealed that the prank had actually been a long time in the making. “It was based off a funny photo Rebecca saw that we both decided we had to recreate,” she explained. “This was two years before the actual wedding!” So remember, all of you potential bridesmaids out there, if you’re going to upstage the bride, just make sure you have permission first!

some people judge before you can blink. as if they have been chums with the bride and maid of honour for life and know everything about them.

Honestly you can tell just how close they are to one another. They were comfortable taking silly pictures together and I'm sure their friendship will be everlasting!

It's the method used to het the photo effect of the bride's veil poufing out and floating in the wind behind her. It looks pretty in the pictures, but someone has to MAKE it happen.

Its her wedding and she was happy. Thank God for not another bridezilla story. Laughter and fun is "the dream", for a wedding day.

Hair dyed green and wearing a stick-on beard really shouldn't be talking about someone else craving attention.

Just gorgeous - photo bombed by someone who loves you (almost) as much as the Groom :D

Jaime Williams needs a sense of humor. off camera/behind the scene shots are more enjoyable 20 yrs later then the "official" stuff.

It's not a photobomb if it's pre-planned... This is just a boring wedding photo

Just so I'm understanding this right in the final photos the friend will be edited out to give the impression that the brides vail is flouting in the wind? If that's the case then there is no harm done in bridesmaids tomfoolery.

I would love to have a friend like this. And that green haired stupid guy is just like that kind of gay guy who is full of s**t, resentment and hate women. Pathetic, get a life.
