Best Woman...?

Traditions change, my dear. Bridesmaids traditionally wore identical dresses to the bride and stood at the alter in order to confuse evil spirits who wanted to curse the wedding.

Unless you and all of your bridesmaids are wearing identical white wedding gowns, I have to assume you understand that traditions morph over time. In this case, they morph into whoever is most supportive of the couple's union stands up with them, regardless of their respective genitalia.

(If you would be cool with his brother being a best man but not a sister being a best women, you are hung up on her genitals. And that's weird AF).

My FH will most likely have 2 groomsmaids in addition to 2 groomsmen. They are his friends. F*ck tradition.

It's just his sister. She's not competition, unless she's from deliverance.

This is a joke right?

It's your day and your future husbands! If he wants her as his "best woman" then that's wonderful that they are close. As long as she can still perform the BM duties. She should wear a color similar what the other groomsmen are wearing also so everyone knows that's the side she's on.

I have a man in my bridal party and my FH has a woman in his. You're overreacting.

Miranda, there aren't any bridesmaid duties. Also, she wouldn't be a bridesmaid

Woooooow is literally the only thing I can even think to say about this. Lol.

Do you have siblings?

You can his best woman, she can be his best woman and his mother can be his best woman all at the same time and all still be equally and differently valuable in his like!

It's like having more than one best friend.

She's the "best woman" to support him on such a big day.

If I had a brother, and we were as close as my sister and I are, you better believe he'd be my man of honor and a fiancé opposing that would be almost a deal breaker for me.

@Gracelyn, your comment reminded me of this. Lol

You won't let your FH's sister/best friend stand beside him on his wedding day and we are the rude ones? Please ask this question on the knot if you are going there. I will log in just to see the answers.

Bc we didn't agree we are ridiculous? Lol ok.

Trust me, the Knotties will tear you a new one over this nonsense. Go ahead, try them.

@Malikah - Our Community Guidelines don't prohibit cursing. That's why those posts are allowed to stay.

Who the fuck cares.

I've been to a few weddings that had a "Man of Honor" and "Best Woman". It's a normal thing in the modern year of 2017. Roles can be gender neutral.

You sound jealous, which is odd since it's his sister.....

I think you are really overreacting! My FH is having his mom be his "Best Mom" because it's been the two of them since he was a baby. That's his best friend. I would never want to get in between that & neither should you!

If you've made up your mind and "sticking to your guns", why did you come on the internet to ask if you were overreacting?? So bizarre.

Also. I hope you do post it to social media. Then explain to your FH and his sister and family why you felt offended

I think youre thinking is a little old fashioned, no offense. i was thinking of having my FH ask his sister to be his Best Woman. I think it's a great idea actually lol
