Man of Honor?

My brother is standing with me in my wedding. My FH is having his sister stand with him :-)

Nope! I would have had 3 - we decided against a WP...

Good to know My fiance's family is more conservative and I worry how they'll react but I need my BFF there!

Do it forsure.

I was at a wedding recently where the groom had his sister be his best-lady.

It's your day you should have those most special to you.

Absolutely do it, it's your wedding and you don't want to look back and regret anything. My FH is having his friend of 10 years be his best girl. At first I was against it but now I don't mind. I was worried the pictures would look weird but they are close so I don't mind.

Not weird at all, my best friend was going to be my "man of honour" but things changed and he is now going to be my groom

I have a guy in my wedding party you will probably get a few questions or comments but it's a lot more common these days!

@Laura, that's so cute!

I've had lots of guys as honor attendants! Go for it!

My best friend of 12 years, who happens to be guy, is my Man of honor, and my sister is my bridesmaid. He'll keep me sane, keep people in line, and I can't imagine standing up there without him.

Go for it!

I say do what makes you happy! Screw what other think. It's what YOU think that's important. Wouldn't hurt if he looked like Patrick Dempsey (Movie: Maid of Honor) LOL

Laura, that's so sweet!

Well, he doesn't look like Patrick Dempsey, otherwise, he'd probably by my groom, lol. He actually compares himself to an overgrown, balding hobbit!

My sister will be my matron of honor and I do worry that it'll throw off the balance in photos and the ceremony. After the wedding, he'll be walking back down the isle next to one of my fiance's brothers, which should be interesting.

But I think I'll do it. I have a panic disorder and he knows how to handle me when I'm going crazy! My groom does too, but since I won't see him most of the wedding day, I need my back up

Haha that's totally our movie "maid of honour"..Although I've yet to see him in a kilt there's still time!

Not weird at all. My brother might stand on my side instead of FHs side - still deciding.

As a wedding planner and designer, I have seen this many times and I highly recommend it as you need the person who is going to support you the most beside you, congratulating you, holding your hand (and bouquet) and wiping the happy tears gently away! Go for it....you will regret it if you do not!

Congrats & have a fabulous marriage!

Amber, I am also having a man of honor and I also get panic attacks sometimes, too. Not only is my MOH my best friend and I wouldn't feel right if he weren't the one standing right there next to me. If you feel very strongly about, go for it! I am thinking about asking him to try and work it into his toast so everyone will know who he is (even if they don't really accept it).

Thanks guys. It's my day, I'll do what feels right!

We're having a groomswoman!

This is more common now, there is so many of us that has guy friends, I have been having guy best friends most of my life but I'm having my two siisters as my co-maid of honors but it would of been cool to have a man best friend stand up with me.

My BFF said he'd wear a kilt as he is half scottish. But I haven't decided on bridesmaids' dresses yet so I'm not sure what I want him in...

At one point, he even said he'd wear a dress, but I'm pretty sure that would give my fiance's very old school Spanish Catholic grandmother a heart attack!

We did. When we got engaged, we asked my son to be best man and my daughter to be maid of honor. My daughter agreed immediately. My son said he could not be a best man, because a best man is a groom's attendant, and we failed to have a groom. After some negotiation, he was designated dude of honor. And no, he didn't wear a dress. Since we didn't need the attendants to match, we let them wear any nice clothes they already owned, so he wore a suit and tie.
