Need answer and reasoning behind answer re: matron of honor
Victoria, on January 27, 2022 at 1:24 AM

If the Matron of Honor is married to one of the groomsmen (not the best man) who should she walk the aisle with and why? I should note that there are two extra guys on the grooms side. Two best men.
