can i have 2 maid of honors?

[shortstuff]

I want to have my sister and my best friend as my maid of honors but my fiance and my family is telling me that it isn't proper to have both of them maid of honors that i should choose one or the other and have the other a bridesmaid.

Am i wrong for wanting them both to be my maid of honors?

any help would be greatly appreciated.


thanks,
steph

I also have two maids of honor and it only means that you are not doing everything "exactly by the book." I am happy that I have two best friends, and I would never be able to choose between them. Give it some time, I am sure that everyone will settle down and see that it is absolutely fine, especially since it is your wedding and your choice! Good luck!

Hey!
I think it is perfectly fine to have two maids of honor. Just have the Best Man escort them with one on each side during the recessional. Hope this helps!

Etiquitte~Shmetiquitte! I, too, am having a Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor. At first, I couldn't decide who to have stand beside me during the ceremony, but I decided to have the one that's been helping me the most stand beside me. I think she should have the honor, since she's been by my side through it all. They are both wonderful friends, but one has just be MIA since she accepted the role! It's your day . . . do what will make you and your groom happy!

Sweethart, Do what ever your little hart desirs. If your family dose not like it they can just close there eyes. This is your day and you do it your way. It is really hard to pick between two girls or guys for that matter. This isn't the stone age anymore, You can rewrite the books alittle bit.

Gook-luck Sweethart and have fun whatever you do.

i really only have three females in my life close enough to me to consider asking them to be part of the "party". i couldn't pick one to put "honor" behind, so all three of them will be honor attendants. my mom is going to be the one standing next to me, and since she is the only one who is currently married, she will be the only matron of honor. my sister and friend are going to share the title of maids of honor. if you have three really close female friends in your life, why should you choose just one because some book somewhere says you should only have one maid/matron of honor? do what makes you happy.
hope this helps

Honey,

It's your special day. You can do whatever you want. I too, had a Miaid of honor, which was my daughter and my best friend as my Matron of Honor. It all worked out fine. Just have fun

I knew from the beginning that my two best female friends would be my only bridesmaids. I never even considered choosing one or the other as a MOH. One of them is newly married, and she ***e up with the idea that she is the Matron of Honor and the other will be Maid of Honor. They are both happy with this, and the Matron of Honor has really stepped in to help with all the details (I think her recent experience was a big Plus!) I am so thankful that she did, because I think I underestimated all the responsibilities the MOH takes care of and I couldn't do it without her! :)

I could never have picked between my two sisters...so I had a maid and a matron of honor. My sister who was married a few short months before me also had myself and my younger sister. Since we were both unmarried at that time, we were both maids and no one said a word about it. Do what you want! It's your day! There are plenty of "jobs" to go around too. One sister held my bouquet while the other one ran around fixing my train during the ceremony. They also said, planning the bachelorette party and shower were much more fun...and less stressful...when they had someone to plan it with. Good luck and I hope your wedding day is amazing.
