I would say don't make the wedding preparations even more stressful, especially for the bride. There is enough stress that everyone is dealing with.
Also, don't overshadow the bride, don't annoy her, don't be better dressed, look better than the bride. And obviously don't seduce the groom Or, in a more realitic scenario don't be too friendly with the groom and don't show too much physical affection.

Just DO what you're doing....offer help and support, write a toast, etc.
DON'T do what my matron of honor did....show up late because of some fabricated drama, and stress the bride out! I was sweating about her getting there in time for the pre-ceremony pictures to start (it was the olden days before cell phones, so we couldn't call or text), and had no idea what had happened to her. And when she showed up, she was an absolute mess and looked like she had just rolled out of bed. And that's probably what had happened, but she didn't want to admit it so she concocted some wild story about why she was late. She created such a scene that everybody forgot about me and I was trying to get my dress with 5,000 tiny buttons on and had to interrupt her story to ask for help! The wedding planner, my mom, and another bridesmaid finally got me buttoned into that thing! LOL...
Oh my ! I could only imagine what that was like...ive decided to go in the early morning at her house with everything I need to get dressed and of course to help the bride as well

My experience was similar! My sister showed up 15 minutes before pre-ceremony photos were to take place! Though there were cell phones/texting, I was irritated to find out that instead of showing up when everyone else did - she went to go get burritos at a mexican place nearby!
The only thing I would have changed about my wedding was my maid of honor.... but it was my sister and it would have looked weird, I think, had it not been her.
Oh my!!! My nerves would of gotten the best of me..... Yeah you are right about that my bff has a sister and chose me and while its a great honor ive let her known I dont want any problems with her sis because of her choosing me instead of her....
