Am I weird?

groomwithaview, 5 December, 2008 at 13:00 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hiya,

Is anyone else / anyone's H2B having a best woman? It's apparently fairly normal now, but one of W2B's bridesmaids seemed quite put out by it? W2B really doesnt mind and probably expected it, so I don't actually care, but wondered if anyone was doing the same?

    My sister-in-law in Italy had a 'best man' instead of a bridesmaid and a good friend of ours has asked my H2B if he'll be her 'maid of honour' when she eventually gets married! Oh, and my FBIL had a female usher. She looked gorgeous in her suit!!

    Some people are still going to find it a little shocking, but most will be absolutely fine with it!

    My uncle had a best woman! I think it's down to you really - shouldn't matter to anyone else!

    Oh and yes you are wierd because you're posting on hitched - but don't worry we all are!

    My uncle had a best woman. i wouldn't say it is the norm, though i wouldn't say it would concern or bother me.

    Ha ha! Fair point about being weird anyway! ?

    Forgot to mention - I jokingly said to best woman that she'd have to wear tails and a top hat and she really like the idea now! Think that will have to change though...?

    I've been to a wedding where there was a Best Man and Best Woman! the speech took forever as they split it between them...

    BW wore a suit to match the men but with a corset underneath in the BM dress fabric....
