Man of Honor/Best Lady...
I've noticed in some postings references to "men of honor" and/or a "best lady"...
What exactly does this mean?

Re: Man of Honor/Best Lady...
When the Fh has a Best Lady instead of a Best Man,
When FW has a man of honor instead of a maid/maitron of honor.
I think!

Re: Man of Honor/Best Lady...
I'm curious to know why a person would choose this option.

Re: Man of Honor/Best Lady...
I think it would depend on who your best friend is - sometimes people have best friends who are the opposite sex.

My DH's best friend is a woman and mine is a man. We were not going to leave them out of our Bridal Party so, we had a Best Lady and a Man of Honor.

Re: Man of Honor/Best Lady...
i have a man in my BP. he is a dear friend of mine who has been through so much with me. If he was a woman there is no doubt he would be in my BP- so why shouldn't he be because he is a man? FH only wants his close friends as GM so my friend (Jeff) is a bridesman.

I always thought that the bridal party consists of men and women and then they just divide out, women on one side, men on the other. I thought, for example, if my best friend was a man, dh, as a favor to me mostly but b/c he likes this guy too, would make him a groomsman. If the situation was reversed, vice versa. That is not the case?
I think that is the way some people do it. For us we had no problem with having a mixed BP. It is becoming more common. I wanted the people closest to me on my side and so did my DH.

This is how I am doing it...Hense the large bridal party. I however, I have no male friends and FH has no female friends. So it's mostly all family...My boy cousins are ushers/groomsmen...His female cousins are BM's...I guess it's all semantics.
