My best friend is marrying a guy who's nothing but trouble

She says I must either accept the situation 100 percent or forget being maid of honor.

    Which church?

    "Beiug a maid of honor at a wedding does not mean that you officially endorse the marriage."

    Actually, depending on the church the friend is getting married in, it can. I got married in the Episcopal church, and the idea behind being a maid of honor/best man, being a "witness," was that you were officially endorsing the wedding. I do not know if that is the case for other religions.

    I think Cary's advice is spot-on in this case.
