Maid of Honor

I don't think the age gap would make it awkward! Some people choose their mom as their MOH, and it works out great, even with the age gap. Choose whoever you have the closest relationship with as your MOH.

You could have your friend be maid of honor and your sister be matron of honor. How many bridesmaids do you have? Because two MOH is more appropriate for a larger bridal party so the rest of the bridesmaids don't feel left out.

Adding: I just saw your wedding is in September 2023. You don't need to choose your bridal party this far out or else those friendships could change and it will be awkward. Wait until next year and see who is in your closest circle then.

It seems like your wedding is a while away, I would absolutely wait until about a year (or honestly less!!) away. Also, keep in mind that you don't have to have a maid of honor, you could have everyone be a bridesmaid. Or as a PP suggested, maybe having your friend by MOH, and your sister be the matron of honor

I agree with others that you should wait. But also, you don't have to have a MOH at all. If no one stands out as clear choice, just have all be bridesmaids.

An age gap is irrelevant to the relationship itself. Some people are close and others aren’t. The maid of honor is your closest current supportive person whom you go to first without judgment and trust their insight. The same applies to other bridesmaids. This is not a role for people you are not close to or barely know such as future in laws or anyone you may have fallen out with.


Which lady best fits this description?

Listen. Relationships with college roommates/bff's change alot at your age. I'm not saying they will, but it's likely. Wait until you're about 6-8 months before the wedding to make this decision. Also, your sister will always be your sister. Age is irrelevant.

I would go with sister as your MOH.
