Brides"Man"? Bride's Best Man?

Jaime, on February 16, 2012 at 1:11 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

We are having a small wedding party, 2 on each side. Instead of a bridesmaid in addition to my MOH, I want my brother to stand up on my side. I hate the way "Bridesman" sounds! And "man of honor" sounds like he's the center of attention. Is "Bride's Best Man" appropriate in this situation? I don't know if that would get weird with a groom "best man" and a "groomsman"...

Thanks for any thoughts!

    I personally like Man of Honor. Other people have done that. I do like Bride's Best Man. Unfortunately, either sort of takes away from the MOH or Best Man...

    Other ideas:

    Male of Honor

    Honorary Attendant

    Bride's Butler

    Butler of Honor

    Bride's Attendant

    I'd say give him whatever title you want to! I'm having a Matron of Honor and a Man of Honor, so for me it fits. Go with what works for you!

    I think "Man of Honor" is the most common. We had a "Dude of Honor."

    My brother is my Man of Honor too.

    So.....is he on equal footing with your MOH? Or is he equivalent to a BM? If he's more like a BM, I would call him a GM.

    Man of Honor and Bride's Best Man both sound like he's on par with the MOH and Best Man IMO, I think it just depends on what you want him to be.

    Thanks all - he certainly holds just as much significance in my life as my MOH, so they're definitely on equal ground. I think I'm going with Bride's Best Man. I can do a more fun play on words with the actual program when the date comes closer I suppose. Smiley smile
