Best Woman

Shannon, on June 13, 2022 at 1:24 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13
I’m referring to our Maid of honor, as “Best Woman”. I find Matron and Maid to be so antiquated.
She agrees. We are only having a Best Man and Best Woman only. I put notes on a spreadsheet referring to the Best Woman for the DJ song list and she is to be announced this way for her entrance.

    That title is a good alternative to maid/matron of honor!

    Sounds good! I've also heard "honour attendant".

    Oh I love that. Wish I had thought of that.

    May not be too late to switch.

    I think both of my "best women" would appreciate that over MOH!

    I love this idea. It feels weird saying Maid and Matron... like the guy is just a Best Man. Why can't they just be the Best Woman? I may very well steal this. Great thinking!

    I think the titles of Maid and Matron were created by a man.

    And if they weren't, there's clear intentionality into noting marital status. Smiley ups Which is always lovely.

    Love it! Someone's marital status is irrelevant to her ability to support the bride.
