We Have Proof That Taylor Swift Was the Happiest Maid of Honor

It's easy to forget that celebrities, in between their movies, magazine cover shoots, TV shows, and interviews, do have their own real lives. Case in point: They often attend friends and familes' weddings—and sometimes even serve as bridesmaids or even the maid of honor. Being an MOH is a big job, but clearly these celebs were up for the challenge. Check out some of our favorite celebrity maids of honor (and one man of honor)!

Taylor Swift

Before serving as MOH at her childhood friend Britany Maack's wedding in 2016, Swift took the bride-to-be to the Reem Acra showroom to help her find her dream wedding dress. Nope, we're definitely not jealous or anything ...

Courteney Cox

Lester Cohen

Rachel Green was Monica Geller's maid of honor, so obviously, Courteney Cox was going to serve as Jennifer Aniston's MOH at her intimate summer 2015 wedding to Justin Theroux. Only 75 people attended the super-secret wedding. But don't worry, Phoebe wasn't left out of the festivities, as Lisa Kudrow was in attendance as well.

Not only did Dunst play a maid of honor in the movie Bachelorette, she was also the MOH at her childhood friend's wedding in the summer of 2012. She was probably a much better MOH in real life than her control-freak character in the movie.

Rachel Bilson

Kevin Mazur

Bilson played matchmaker for The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz, setting him up with her best friend Jill Stonerock, so it was pretty obvious the honor was going to go to her come the wedding day. Bilson worked with her friend and designer Brian Reyes to design four one-of-a-kind bridesmaids' dresses for the bridal party. Now those are some serious #MOHGoals.

Spears took up MOH duties for her close friend and assistant Brett Miller back in January of 2011. It was rumored that Spears didn't actually stay at the same hotel as the rest of the guests because it wasn't private enough, and she and her boyfriend left the rehearsal dinner early to order in room service.
