Hi
It's a while before the wedding and we are still in the very early planning stages but I just wanted to get some advice/second opinions on what you thought about having bridesmen instead of bridesmaids?
I don't have any sisters or close cousins and neither does my other half, and I certainly wouldn't consider myself to have any female best friends or anyone suitably close that I would want to call bridesmaids.
The first friend I told about our engagement was a guy who I would consider to be a very close friend and I would certainly like him to be a part of the wedding. However, I know that it isn't traditional to have men in bridal parties or possibly as a "Man of Honour" and I know my other half is still on the fence about the idea as we both want it to be quite traditional. He has already chosen his BM who he has known since the age of 2 and has ideas of who he wants as groomsmen which does make me sad that I don't have many options to be Team Bride.
This is something that has been on my mind even before we got engaged, I would hate to have no bridal party on my side and don't just want to pick girls for the sake of picking girls to please the family.
Let me know your thoughts! :-)
