My friend is getting married in about 3 years. She is going to have her friend as her matron of honor and me as her maid of honor. What do each of us do for the wedding? Do we both give a speech at the wedding? Any other advice

That's totally up to the bride - it would be up to her to delegate duties between the two of you.
Maid simply means you aren't married, Matron means you are! If for some reason you get hitched yourself in the next three years, she would simply have two Matrons.
Have fun!

They both have the same duties and in fact they are really the same role. Matron of honor is someone who is married already and the maid of honor is someone who isn't married yet. They both mean the same thing. It will basically be up to your friend what roles she wants each of you to do at her wedding. If she is having a big wedding then it would be natural to have two people stand by her in this way or even if she can't choose. But it would be up to her as to what you do. As far as a speech goes, I'm sure that you both would give a speech. That would be appropriate.

They're both the same thing except for the marital status The Matron is married, while the Maid is single. Generally, only one matron or maid of honor is chosen, however, in this day and age, with so many traditional things being thrown out, maybe she will opt for 2 women to hold that place of honor. Ask her what she expects of you

My wife had both. Only the maid of honor gave a speech at our wedding. Why 3 years?

I've never heard of a MOH speech at a wedding. But really all the job is to hold the flowers during the exchange of rings (maybe gloves too), host a bridal shower, arrange the train on the dress, and maybe helping bustle up the train after the wedding.
If you two get along, you can divide duties. And ask the bride what she wants. It's her day after all.

You both pretty much have the same duties except the name is different because her friend is married. One might do less depending upon what the bride might assign you too. But whatever you do be supportive of her and her decisions. Good Luck!

It is my understanding that both names are the same thing. Check online for traditional duties.
