Brides man??

Melissa, on May 15, 2019 at 8:30 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 25
One of my best friends is a guy and I think i would really like to have him stand on my side. How could this work? Have you seen it done or have you done it?

    Having a bridesman or groomswoman is very popular and common these days. I would say go for it, I think it’s awesome. My cousin had her brother as a bridesman.

    Go for it. We have mixed genders on both sides of our party. Hasn’t changed a single thing.

    My fiancé’s sister is going to be his “best woman”. I think it’s very common to mix things up and it’ll look great!

    I’m doing this! We decided to do one less male on his side, so my bridesman will just walk in with the final bridesmaid. Then they will both go to stand by my side. Smiley smile

    If that's what you want, go for it. You can coordinate his look with your bridesmaid colors and even have him dress differently than the groomsmen.

    My only tip is to figure out which bachelor/bachlorette party he would prefer to attend and make sure he is invited. (If he would prefer a night out with the men over the girls night out, make sure he's invited to the bachelor party instead of uncomfortable at a bachlorette.)

    My brother is going to be my bridesman! He's wearing the same thing as the groomsmen and participating in all the groomsmen activities with my FH and his friends, but during the ceremony he will be standing on my side. My brother was my best friend for most of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way!

    My bestie is going to be my Man of Honor. He is going to be walking with my daughter who is Junior BM. I love involving all of our friends who have an important role in our lives regardless of gender.

    Go for it! I was a groomsmaid in a friend's wedding and I had a blast! They didn't treat me any differently: I walked in with the guys and escorted my bridesmaid on the way out.

    We’re actually doing this! My best friend will actually be standing on my side and FH’s sister will be on his side so it actually worked out well for us as it’s a small bridal party.

    I have a bridesman, FH has two groomswomen.

    Gender is a silly reason to not have someone stand with you.

    I had a man of honor at my wedding! It worked out great! My bridesmaids wore blue and my husband's side wore jeans, red vest, and red tie. So my man of honor wore jeans, a blue vest and blue tie. He's on the far right of the photo.

    I'm having my male cousin be a bridesman! I think it's so unfair to expect the groom's side to be all men and the bride's all female when there are so many meaningful relationships in our lives that are with the opposite sex whether they are friends or family. My cousin was so flattered and moved when I asked him. I say go for it!

    My fiancé has a groomswoman, she will be wearing what the groomsmen are wearing (we gave her the choice between BM/GM attire) and we told her she is welcome to either or both the bachelor and bachelorette party.
