It’s customary for the bride’s sister to be maid or matron of honor, and if she has more than one sister, for the role to be shared between them. Regardless of how close you are, it’s probably best to ask your sister to stand with you at the altar, especially if it will cause a family rift if you don’t.
I know several sisters who aren’t very close but they still stood as each other’s maid of honor at each other’s weddings. The bride’s best friend a/k/a the first choice for MOH can be a bridesmaid and still take part in helping the bride shop for her wedding dress, craft various wedding details and plan the shower and bachelorette parties.
A wedding is a family event and it’s important that you try to avoid any arguments or fights. Ask your sister to be your maid of honor and your BFF to be a bridesmaid. She’ll understand.

It doesn't have to, but preferably yes. If you and your sister are very close with one another just like BFFs, that would be perfect. But you can always pick a close friend of yours... it depends on you.
In Gaelic cultures, it was a tradition for friends and family of the couple to mess with the couple’s wedding night.
for the bride
I have to dissagree with this one.
I have 4 sisters ages 41,39,38,and35...I am 27.
My sisters do not speak to eachother...I even have to sit them as far away from one another at the reception.
I'm the only sibling that speaks to everyone.
Haveing one or all of them in my wedding would creat such caos! Granted this is not the 'normal' situation...but for me I chose to have my 3 bffs that I've known for 15 years.
Sometimes family isn't the way to go.
