and on crutches then, I think. Should I do it, or should I tell her to choose somebody else? I get around good on crutches I'm afraid I might look clutzy hopping down the aisle with this thing on my foot

All eyes should be on the bride. But if anyone DOES notice, I'm sure they're going to think that its really awesome of you to stand up for your friend, even if it meant doing it under less than perfect circumstances. Give your friend your support...she wouldn't have asked you if she thought it was going to be a huge deal.

Well, she obviously realizes you will still be in a cast, but you are such a good friend of hers that she'd rather have you clunking down the aisle with crutches than any other girl she knows walking normally. THAT is a true best friend! You'll hurt her feelings if you back out just because you're self conscious. What if you decorate your crutches with leftover flowers and ribbon from the wedding florist? And you can even see if an artistic friend of yours could do a pretty design on your cast that will match your dress and the surroundings. Don't let the cast get in the way of being your best friend's maid of honor, or you will regret it your whole life.

Talk to her and tell her your concerns and let her decide. Maybe what you can do is already be at the altar when the guests are seated (like the groomsmen are) and then you wouldn't have to worry about it but would still get to perform the other duties a MOH does like speaches, etc. Another solution is that she could have the ushers escort you down the aisle so you wouldn't need your crutches at all. She is your best friend, and I'm sure it would mean the world to her to have you stand beside her...crutches or not. Best of luck!

A friend of mine got married a couple of years ago and had her cousin as a bridesmaid and because her cousin was 8 and half months pregnant she had a chair available for her. You could tell your friend that you want to be in her wedding and let her know that you will still be in a cast and crutches and hopefully she will accommodate you and offer a chair at the front for you to sit in once you are up there.
Do you think that your Dr. may be able to put you in a walking cast?

If I were her, I wouldn't care at all if my best friend was on crutches, in a wheelchair, using a walker, crawling on all 4's (you get the general idea) at my wedding, I would want her there regardless. Since you're worried about it, ask her what she thinks. Unless she's just not a friend, she will want you to stay, no matter what.

Don't be so vain. It's your best friend's wedding, I'm sure she's noticed the cast and crutches and it's her day and if she wants you to be her maid of honour then you should. A cast and crutches is a lame excuse.

Do it who cares if your in a cast. She asked you for a reason and frankly 2 weeks is such a short amount of time to find someone, have them order a dress, have the dress fitted and buy the shoes. She chose you most likely because you are her best friend and she wants you to be there as maid of honor

She didn't choose you because of your superior walking skills - she chose you because you're her best friend. If my best friend wouldn't stand up next to me at my wedding because she was afraid she'd look clutzy, I'd be crushed! She wants you to be standing next to her on the most important day of her life, so share in her joy and don't worry about how you look - everyone will be paying more attention to the bride anyway.
Best wishes!

Don't worry about the cast! I went to a wedding once where one of the bridesmaids had been in a car accident a couple of weeks before the ceremony and had to be wheeled down in a wheelchair with one cast on her arm, one on her leg, and a neckbrace and you know what? She still looked beautiful! Go for it!

As long as she is aware that you will be on crutches and still wants you to go down the aisle with her, I think you should do it.
