DEAR ABBY: Like any other little girl, I have dreamed about my perfect wedding. But now that my boyfriend and I have begun discussing marriage, I realize that I have nobody to fill the spot of maid of honor.
Would it be all right if I asked my older sister (who is already married and is my best friend) to be maid of honor? -- WANTS SOMETHING TRADITIONAL
DEAR WANTS: By all means ask her. It's an honor, and I'm sure she will appreciate it. However, since your sister is married, her title will be "matron of honor."
