wording help for program...female groomsman-update

soon to be MAT, on May 21, 2013 at 11:12 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 20

In March FH lost his best friend in an accident. His wife is going to stand in his place. I want to list them both together (Alyssa and Seth sedo) under grooms party, but im not sure how to word it. I cant say best man b/c she is not a man and I cant just say grooms-woman because they will both be listed. any advice?

**I also took blue babies breath from the casket flowers. I was thinking of using them to make FH boutonniere and use them in Alyssa's bouquet and place them in mine as my something blue. Is that creepy? He loved Seth as a brother and misses him every day. I thought it would be a nice way to have him there symbolically. I hope he likes the idea.

    What if you put "Alyssa in place of Best Man Seth"

    Groom's Attendant: Alyssa, standing in honor and memory of her husband Seth

    Or something like that.

    I have men and women standing on my side so I've referred to them all as "Bride's Attendants" in the program. That made things way easier.

    We have flipped genders for our MOH/BM position and we are considering just calling her a Best Woman, I am so sorry to hear about your FH's loss and love that she is standing in his place.

    Are you doing a moment of silence for people who cannot physically attend your wedding and list both of them on your program? FH's BM can't be at our wedding (Military) and he is still listed as his BM. The officiant is doing a moment of silence and mentioning "especally the BM who is currently serving his country." Maybe you could have them say that his wife is standing in for the BM.

    Not sure if that would bring out emotions though. Just a though. Sorry to hear about this. Good luck.

    I like the "standing in honour of her husband" line. We're both having a man and a woman on our sides. My MOH is a Man of Honour and FH is having a Best Lady.
