“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” – Oprah Winfrey

In medieval Europe, bridesmaids were called maids of honour, handmaids or bridal companions. Typically young and unmarried, they helped the bride to dress and escorted her in processions – and even protected her from jealous rivals or kidnappers.
