Hi all,

I have a title/etiquette question. I am a surgeon and use the title Dr. a lot at work. I am inviting a lot of MDs and as respect to them will be writing “Dr. so and so” on their formal wedding invites and on the bridesmaids bio etc. My mom is very proud of me and is suggesting that I the officiant use Dr. whe she introduces us. I find it a bit weird: Mr. and Dr? I think Mr and Mrs sounds better...

I know it’s my wedding and I should do what feels right to me but what do you think?

Thank you!

Although this is totally making me think of friends, "Mrs. Dr. Barry Farber, D.D.S."

I was going to say this. The higher titled person goes first, regardless of gender.

You can always have him say " pronounce you as husband and wife". With that you won't have to worry about the Mr and Dr title, but him saying husband and wife will still give you that newlywed Mrs and Mr feeling? Just another option

Ehhh that is weird. I would prefer Mrs. Your wedding and relationship is void of the status of your career in my mind. I would go with Mrs if that's truly what you want. It's your choice not your mothers.

It should be Dr. and Mr. if you are using the Dr. title. Otherwise it's totally fine to just say Mr. and Mrs. if that's what you would prefer.
