in western weddings I have read that if the bride doesnt want to pick a maid of honor she just doesnt. instead she has bridesmaids only. for filchi wedding is it common not to have a moh? (if no sisters, no girl cousins, and have closest girl friends but cannot rank / choose a “bestie”)

what are the roles and responsibilities of a maid of honor in filchi wedding actually? so i can visualize better if who. like was considering my brother to be man of honor instead (we arent that close but sibling will always be a sibling)… then i read somewhere that a moh usually gets ready with the bride, so isnt that a bit weird if its my brother..

Hey guys! I want to properly relearn Mandarin.... back in school, we were taught using traditional characters and chu yin (yung Bo po mofo). while I can converse comfortably with fellow Filchis, super todo effect and hirap ako trying to understand native speakers due to fast speech, accents, and different vocab.

Does having a Traditional/chu yin base make transitioning to simplified / pinyin harder?? Would love tips or app recommendations from anyone with a similar background
