Help with a role for my friend at the wedding

Could you ask her to be a witness without it offending anybody else?

She could do a reading in the ceremony?

I have a slightly simillar situation - although money related rather than anything else, and I plan to ask her to either do a reading or be a witness....

HTH

Do you think she would like to be an usherette?

I'm in a very similar situation and have asked mine to wear my engagement ring during the ceremony (I'm lucky she has the same size fingers, so that might be an option for you?)

We've also asked her and her fiance to pick the music for when we're signing the register and the music we'll walk out to.

I'm calling her an usherette but not sure if that's the right word as we have 2 ushers doing the usual usher things!

Thanks for all your ideas and help, i am going to sound really silly now!!! but we are having a civil ceremony do we have witnesses at that?! as that could be an idea! we do have 2 ushers already but could be an idea aswell

Yes, it is a legal requirement to have two witnesses, even at a civil ceremony.

My brother was married in a registry office and had no bridesmaids as it was very small, but he asked me to be a witness and it was a real honour, but a very simple and small job on the day!
