Does the Matron of honor have to be currently married or just has been married in the past?

Can you have both maid and matron of honor??

but if the best man is already married? any other names? thanks!

What if I don’t have a bridal party, and the person I want for my MOH is married, do I call her my matron of honor even if she’s the only one?

What if she is divorced, would I say Maid or Matron?
Thanks.

Is it appropriate to have 2 Maid of Honors?

Who stands next to the bride? The maid or matron?

Hi, what if my MOH is divorced? Maid or matron of honour?

What is my MOH is divorced? Maid or matron of honour?

What if maid of honor and matron are both married how do you choose?

if i have maid of honor and matron, how about the best man?can i have 2 bestman also?

thanks…. for the clarification

What if the Maid and Matron are Friends of the Bride (niether are blood related), I need to clarify how this will work to the Bride and Maid of Honor? I thought it would be the wedding party walk in, then the Matron of Honor and then the Maid of Honor followed by the Bride? Wouldn’t I the Matron of Honor hold the Maid of Honor and Brides Boquets while Vows are being said and Maid of Honor is adjusting the dress train and veils? Please help me clarify. I thought the Matron was kinda the back up to the Bride and the Maid of Honor? ….

My best friend asked me to be the Best Woman at his wedding, but instead, we’re calling it Best Ma’am, lol. Thought I’d share that here.

Who stands next you? how do you decide that, if you have more than one MOH and neither of them are family

if a friend is widowed, is she considered matron or maid of honor?

I have a sister who will be 14 or 15 when we get married and she was upset she was not going to be my maid of honor. I told her I feel a maid of honor has a lot of duties to fulfill and needs to be someone who is older and more experienced. How do I honor her other than just making her a bridesmaid?

I want my cousin to be my Matron of honor but, she is a widow is that okay?? She has not remarried either.. What do you think??

I agree. I need to know if you have a maid and a matron of honor… Both best friends not related, who stands next to you? I plan on having them split the duties of course but I don’t want anyone’s feelings hurt when we walk down the isle and who stands next to me?

Also have a question on how to honor you a younger sister who would not be able to fulfill the maid of honor duties, but still give her a title and make her feel included?!

I will be having a maid and matron in my wedding, my maid of honor is my sister, matron is my cousin, can I have my sister (maid) be 1 in the line up? Or do I absolutely have to have my cousin first!?

@Ryan Conner: looks like someone’s getting a bit annoyed by the “would if they’re divorced or widowed or blah blah blah” questions. People really need to learn how to read other people’s questions & answers before asking the same stupid question over & over & over & over…. You’re doing a great job. Just smile while you’re answering the stupid questions. Trust me, it really will help you keep your cool & stay positive. God bless. 🙂

Ive read through the posts and never saw a clear answer so please forgive this being a repeat question.
If I have both a maid and matron of honor and neither one are related who would stand closest to me?

Thank you!

If I have a maid of honor but I still want my male friend that I want to be in my bridal party would he be a bridesman or something?

Thanks for this info, this makes life easier. I get to honor my sister and my best friend win/win 🙂

I want to let everyone know! This was a great idea and solved my problems of who to choose to honor. I had 2 best friends and I asked one to be my maid of honor and the married one to be my matron of honor. I lost a best friend over this, because she felt having to share this role, no one could be honored by themselves, alone, to shine in that role. I want to advise everyone reading this to be careful, if you have a friend thats iffy or might be hurt by not being the main b*tch, try a different approach or you may lose a friendship. however, rightfully so, if you have a friend like this, they shouldn’t be honored to be in that position anyway. This is your day and you should have it how you want! If they don’t respect that.. stay strong and appreciate the other amazing people in your life.

My sister and best friend are both married I want my sister standing next to me coming out before me who would be the maid and matron if they are both married ?

Silly question maybe but I am my sisters maid of honor this coming October. I am also newly engaged to be married….Does this make me maid or matron of honor? Just curious

If my 2 best friends are married, can I have 2 matrons of honor?

Hi I have a tricky one,

My one best friend is married so she would be called matron of honor.

My other best friend is getting married a month before me. Would I call her maid of honor?

Enter your comment here…I have several dilemmas,#1. my daughter (age22) wants to be my maid of honor BUT I want her to sing as I walk down the aisle. #2. I have two really good friends that really don’t like each other, both are married and I want them both to be my matron of honor. #3. Then I have two sisters who say that they are ok with being bridesmaids but I think one wants to be my matron of honor. What’s a bride to do???? PLEASE HELP!!!

So my daughter would be my maid of honor but what would my best friend be considered seeing as though she has never been married?

What if the MOH is engaged? Do you list her as the Matron or Maid?

how about if she has already a child? Shall I call her still maid because technically she is single? Or there is other name aside from maid and matron?

My elder sister will have her wedding soon. My youngest sister will be her maid of honor; she’ll have two matrons of honor (me and our brother’s wife). Me, my husband and son will march together, while my brother, his wife and son will march together too.. Should she call us honor attendants? she’s having trouble in her invitation 🙂

I will be the matron of honor in my best friend’s wedding next June and our other best friend (who is single) will be the maid of honor. My problem is about the weekend getaway bachelorette party. We all know the bride wants it to be in Vegas but honestly, I can’t afford it, i mean, being a wife and a mom I would rather spend all that money to good use like bills, etc. I told the maid of honor that we should talk to the bride and suggest a more affordable bachelorette party but she is insisting this is what the bride wants and is making me feel guilty for she kept reminding how important my role is. I am aware of that but i also feel like the bachelorette party that the bride wants is too demanding. And that its not fair to put this kind of financial burden on your bridal party. When I got married I didn’t let them spend for anything except for the dress. I made them take me anywhere for my bachelorette party cause I didn’t want them stressed out and I am by nature a flexible and easygoing person. So my question is am I being unreasonable and selfish? Should I talk to the bride about other suggestions for a bachelorette party? Thanks for any input!

Enter your comment here… Is there an age restriction for your maid of honor? ??
What if she is 18, Is that ok???

What if I am having a Man of honor?

Can you have both a maid of honor and a matron of honor?

Who’s side is the Matron of Honor usually from?

My Question is can my Daughter be my Matron of Honor?

I will have my sister as MOH. But I also have 2 other cousins and a close friend whom are key people in my wedding and they are all married. I would like to honor them but I want my sister to have the higher title. Any suggestions? Thanks much!

Hi! I’m having a really hard time. I have two sisters, 22, 24 by wedding, and 17, 19 by wedding, and my cousin I want in my wedding. I can’t pick between my sisters for a maid of honor, they both mean so much to me. But my cousin lives 6 hours away and couldn’t perform the duties by my side. I’m at a total loss as to what to do.

If my best friend is not married, but has children and has been with the same partner for 13+years would her title be Maid or Matron?

I have a matron of honor (sister) and maid of honor (best friend). If the groom only has one best man how stands with him?

My best friend which will be my Maid of honor is getting married in March, my wedding is in September. Do I ask her by calling her Maid of Honor and then switch to Matron of Honor, or just stick to Maid or Matron the entire time. I will be officially asking her in February.

I will have my sister as Matron Of Honor. But I also have 2 other cousins whom are key people in my wedding and they are all married. I would like to honor them but I want my sister to have the higher title. Any suggestions? Thanks much!

Well I wanted my daughter to be my maid of honor since my son will be the best man and my cousin to be the Marton of honor but she isn’t married nor has been. I mean in reality does it really matter ?

Can I have my (gay) brother as my man of honor and my married sister as the matron of honor? Would asking a friend to be my maid of honor along with them be too much?

Do I have to have both maid of honor and matron of honor?

Do my matron of honor have to be married

Hello, I’m a newly engaged woman and has never been married nor planned a wedding and neither have my fiancé. We’re planning for a end of July-August 2017 wedding. Where and what do we go or do first as for planning (websites, suggestions and how-to DVDs? Do I have to have a Matron of Honor? Can I only have my Maid of Honor ( my 21 yr old daughter ) who is doing all of the MOH duties stand next to me then the bridesmaids? And if so, who put together and pays for the bachelorette party? Please help

Hello! I have a best friend, who is also my daughters god mother, who I want as my maid of honor. She’s not married nor does she have any children. I have another best friend whom I want as my matron. She’s married and has kids. Now, my fiancé wants my matron’s husband as his best man now will I have my matron walk w/ the best man or will the maid be the one to walk w/ the best man. I’m confused on that. Please help. Lol thank you!

Is one title (maid or matron) more important than the other?

I have to best friends. One is engaged and is getting married they year after me, the other isn’t single. Can I call the single Maid and the one engaged, even though she is not married yet? i don’t want two people having the same title.

my sister is my matron of honor and I would like to include her husband / my brother in law as “escort” to the matron of honor. This is the same for my fiancés best man. He is married and we wish to include the best mans wife to the wedding party as best mans escort.
We don’t want to split up the couples. What name can we provide our inlaws?

I already have a maid of honor. I was going to ask another friend if she can be a matron of honor she is not married can she still be a matron of honor?

Hi! My sister is getting married Sept 10th this year. We are a very close family. She has 3 daughters one of whom elected herself as maid of honor. This is my sister’s 2nd wedding, . She’s having her daughters walk her down the isle. My sister has introduced me and refers to me as her maid of honor. Ive been fine with letting my niece hold the title and I’ll do the work but now she’s planning the maid of honor speech. Any ideas on how to find another title for me or her so feelings aren’t hurt. My sister said she can be the maid but I’m the matron, I’m single.

So I am asking for thoughts and advise on the fact that I am considering my best friend about all to be my MAN OF HONOR. Beside him, one of my female friends to be my maid of honor. (Honestly he will be directly beside me and she’ll be behind him.) And she can cover all the duties that he personally cannot fulfill because he is a straight male not allowed in my dressing room PERIOD haha

I have both a Maid and Matron in my wedding. Do both give speeches at dinner?

I have 10 BM and he has 8 groomsmen because 2 dropped out. Instead of walking down as couples. I suggested that I let the to let them walk down individually. Girl boy girl boy so that it will not look uneven. It will be 9 on each side. Is that ok

I would really like to have my cousin as my maid of honor but not sure if people will think it’s not right. My cousin means a lot to me and acted like my sister threw out my whole life so would it be a big deal

I decided to let my maid of honor wear a different dress from my matron of honor.

Can a bride use both a maid of honor and a matron of honor?

My sister don’t have a maid of honor is it ok to have a matron of honor at her wedding

1.Hi can I have bridesmaid’s that are married knowing maid= single and matron=married?
Would they be called brides matron? (I already have a matron of honor and I only want that one person for the role)
2.seeing that they would be walking with their husbands ,would their husbands still be called groomsmen

My mum has asked me to be her maid of Honour. Im 22 years old, single and I’ll be 23 by the time she has her wedding. This is her second marriage however her first actual wedding . Is it weird for me to be her maid of honour? 🙂

I have 2 special ppl r they both considered equal or is one more honored then the other because I love them both and its important that when I ask them they know they mean the same to me special.

Would it be alright if I had my aunt as the matron of honor and my best friend as maid of honor?
