Gay Wedding

Harry, on July 8, 2017 at 5:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 16

Hello! My partner and I are recently engaged, and are planning to wedd on 08/18/18. Considering that we are a gay couple, does anyone have any creative ideas on what to call the women that will be in our wedding?

    @Jacks totally stealing Honor Attendants for a gender neutral title, love it.

    We have mixed gender wedding parties and FH's calling the women on his side groomswomen. We double-checked everyone's pronouns before calling them anything. Mostly we are just referring to them as "Ryan's humans" and "Jessie's humans." I like honor attendants, too—totally gender neutral!

    While I'm all for the gender-neutral titles, I'm partial to "groomsgals" just because of the alliterative touch.

    Enjoy honor attendant, you can always ask them what they would prefer to be called as well.

    Congrats! These are all great suggestions! The other day my 17 year old brother said to me, "I've been thinking of myself as a groomsman in your wedding, but then I realized...there's no groom." I told him he can call himself a bridesbro. The fun thing about gay weddings is we kinda get to do whatever we want and make stuff up as we go along!

    We're gonna have a bunch of different people with a bunch of different genders involved in our big gay wedding, so I feel ya! We're probably just gonna go with "wedding party" and let them sort out their titles - we'll have Clint's party and Caleb's party, made up of attendants, bros, honorable enbys...
