two best men??

Angela, on September 4, 2013 at 2:25 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 14

I am having a maid of honor and a matron of honor and as I understand it one is no different than the other aside from one being married...but my boy also doesn't want to pick a best man out of the two people he has standing up..they are his brothers...are there specific titles to not make one of them "more important" than the other such as the maid and matron of honor??

    I've seen it done. It's fine, especially if you have partners for them.

    My FH has 2 brothers too and doesn't want to choose between them. he's calling them both "best man". we'll ask one to make a toast at the RD and the other to make a toast at the reception.

    I also thought this would be a fantastic idea when my fiancé told me he planned on having two best men. Little did we know his best friend had a man-tantrum that he wasn't the only best man and would be sharing the title. He is very self conscious and immature. My fiancé didn't want to choose between him and his favorite cousin. They will be walking with my MOH because our BP is also uneven. This surprised me because I thought only girls pulled this kind of drama. If it works for you both and no one has any issues then it seems very appropriate.

    I think two best-men is ok. That's what we did at my first wedding. My ex has two BFF's that he loves equally. When it came time to decide who should stand where we went by height so no one would feel bad. They both gave speeches at the reception.

    @mc4dj13 - "man-tantrum" - that is fantastic!

    When my friend got married a few years ago, he had two guys stand up with him; also good friends of mine. He couldn't choose between the two, so they both became his best men. They did a speech together at the wedding.

    We are having two best men and two maid of honors as well. We are calling them both "Best Man". I couldn't decide between my BFF and my cousin who is like my BFF. He couldn't choose between his brother and BFF. As far as walking order, we are having his brother walk closest to me since he is family. My FH has decided he want's to stand alone at the alter and have his best men walk down the aisle with my maid of honors.

    Mine will not be the first wedding I go to where the groom chooses a Best Woman, so I don't see what the trouble should be with two Best Men!

    I had a maid of honor (my best friend) and matron of honor (my sis) ..My husband had the same dilemma at the church with his brothers but in the end the older brother by four years signed our wedding license a week prior and had both of his brothers stand by his side at the church.. So heres what we did. the older brother and sis represented us first in church and when we got to the reception..they younger brother and maid of honor were introduced first.. let them take turns so that they all felt important bc they were.

    Best men is fine. I was in a wedding last year with two brothers as the best men. They walked me (MOH) down the aisle together and also into the reception. They both gave short speeches. It's not unusual.

    My partner is going to have both his brothers as his best men, with no additional groomsmen.
