moh Mess Up

Kath, on October 7, 2019 at 3:35 PM Posted in Planning 0 15

I recently asked my best friend from college to be my maid of honor. Backstory on this, I was planning on asking her and if she said no I have three sisters and I was going to then make one of them my MOH and the other two my matrons of honor so that the other two sisters wouldn't be disappointed. I had thought too that my other two sisters would definitely be upset if I chose the third as my MOH.

My best friend said yes which was a surprise since she lives on the other side of the country. So, I told my one sister who was going to be my back up MOH option and she reminded me that I had actually promised her last year that she could be my MOH (before I got engaged). I knew we had had conversations but I couldn't remember the details which is why I went with the plan above. I definitely messed up by forgetting this big important detail before asking my best friend. Now I feel terrible because my best friend already told me she didn't think she would be anyone's MOH except her sister's and I want to keep my promise to my sister. Am I a terrible friend to go back and ask my best friend if I can keep the promise I made to my sister? Looking for some advice on how to fix this Smiley sad

    That's what I'm thinking might be the best option and I'd be super happy to have both of them by my side! I just don't want them to think I'm doing it out of guilt. They are both important to me too!

    Just have 2 MOH's, it doesn't have to be complicated. You already asked your friend and it would be pretty crappy to reneg.

    I think it’s better to just ask both of them than to take back asking your friend to please your sister.

    Thanks yeah that's what I thought I would be upset if it was me in her shoes even if she was forgiving I know I will be hurting her feelings. I'm just second guessing having two MOH's because I know it's not that common and my fiance said to make sure not to have two just out of guilt or to avoid conflict.

    You can have two MOH’s if you’re torn about it.

    Just have two maids of honor. It doesn’t sound like you really want your sister as your MOH, but I suppose you already made some kind of commitment.

    Just have two maid of honours. My husband was a best man in a wedding that had two maid of honours. When the bride gave her speech she mentioned each person as her maid of honour, and both ladies gave a speech so everybody was aware that they both held the title

    Thanks this is helpful! I think it could be good to have 2 MOH's. Glad to know other people have 2 MOH's sometimes too.

    Have both of them in the wedding somehow.. i have a maid of honor and matron of honor.. or simply explain the situation and if she's a true friend she'll understand.

    I just decided to have 2 MOH’s. For obvious reasons, my sister is a MOH and my best friend (and college roommate of 4yrs) is also a MOH. I just didn’t feel right not having them both with that title. I think you should include them both and if one is across the country It will help to have a local MOH anyways.

    You can have two, but don't stress too much about it. She should understand that you asked your bff ( forgot about telling her about moh ) and not want to add stress to your plate about it.
