Bridesmaids

I am having my sister as my moh and then my niece as a flower girl. I am also having one if my oldest friends as a bm.

I have a question though, my best friend is actually a gay man. I want him to be part of my bridal party as his always been there and we best of friends. How is it best to include him? I don't want him as an usher but more along the lines of a man or honour?! I am not sure so if you lovely hitchers have any ideas that would be great!

    It has been known to have a man of honour. Nothing wrong with that at all and I am sure he would love to be asked Smiley smile

    I think man of honour would be great, he could walk down the aisle too!

    sorry pressed send way before I meant to!

    he could have a button hole and stand with the bridal party. Just because he's male in no way means he can't be part of the bridal party and I happen to think it's lovely that you haven't un-included him just because he's male Smiley smile

    You could absolutely have him as anything you want him to be. He could wear a suit with a tie to colour match the BM dresses? Or button hole like the boys, and walk down the aisle with you. Then it's clear he's part of the bridal party. Plus you can always list him (and your others) on your order of service. He can be listed as Man of Honour, or Bridesman. Have a chat with him and see what he'd like to be listed as.

    I think generally, when you are including anyone in a wedding, it's a really lovely thing to have been asked and to be included, and so I expect whatever you decide to do to include him will be really lovely, and he will be touched by the thought that you have put into it.

    No reason why you can't have him as 'Man of Honour' - if he is your best friend I am sure he would love to be asked and it would be lovely for you to have him with you for the usual BM stuff (dress shopping, etc).

    I have been to a wedding where the groom had a 'Best Woman' - anything goes, basically!

    Your wedding, your rules! My OH is having a best woman - the mutual close friend who introduced us. I didn't want to have her as a bridesmaid as she was one at my first wedding so would just have been weird. Best Woman is therefore an excellent way for her to be involved. If your friend is happy to be a man of honour, go for it!!! x

    Friend of mine had 2 'bridesgays', they wore suits but were different from the groomsmen.

    Do what you want

    Thank you all for your help!

    I am planning on asking him next weekend when I am with my other friend who I am asking too so thought it would be nice to ask them together! I know he will be pleased to be asked!
