"Maid" of honour
To set the scene, I'm tall and resemble a brick outhouse (and I'm a bloke - just to clarify!). Therefore you can imagine the response of the grooms family when my best friend asked me to be her maid of honour at her large and ultra catholic wedding ceremony. This involved lifting her veil during the ceremony and giving a speech at the reception. I don't think I could have felt more generally unwelcome if I'd pee'd in the font during the ceremony.

I'm game for most things anyway, but felt I couldn't turn her down when she asked me to do it.

Was a cracking day all things considered.......but odd....definitely a lifetime memory though.

I think she made a great choice.
There should be some "best women" out there too.

Being a best man is a bit like shagging the queen...
...it's a great honour to be asked but you'd prefer it if someone else did it.

Good on you.
