I'm a "sister of the groom", I'm not a bridesmaid because to be honest they're not having any bridesmaids, just one maid of honour, who is the very best friend of the bride, So I'm not at all offended, it's too much fuss really. But I just want to put it across that "Sister-of-the-Groom" is a thankless role. I'm not or are most, the "maid of honour" or and I'm very grateful, the "best man" but I want to just remind ALL you brides and grooms, all that your poor sisters do for your wedding.
