I was just wondering b-cuz my boyfriend asked me, if we were to get married who would my maid of honor be, and I said that I was not going to have one because I don't feel close enough to anyone to trust them with that responsiblity. I know who his best man would be though. Is it wrong to not have a maid of honor, I no that is kind of traditional but this is where I stand on the situation.

I didn't, we only had 2 guests and it was the most perfect day of our lives and if we were doing it all again there isn't anything we would change.

I'm thinking along the same lines of "it's your wedding do what you want" If you don't want a maid of honor don't have one, it's your day and no one can tell you that you have to have someone and you wouldn't want to pick someone just for the sake of having her stand there. Just keep in mind that for your marriage license/certificate you will need to have witnesses so you will have to ask someone close to you to witness it for you, perhaps your mother or a sibling?! Either way just do what you feel is right, not what everyone else is telling you to do.

I did have a MOH but no bridesmaids. I think if you have one friend whom you could offer the title to, do so. I think you should just understand to not expect much from some people. I think a lot of brides get caught up in the "I'm the bride" mode and forget that some people just don't know how to coordinate or deligate things on their own. Now, if you decide not to have one at all, then you should not have a Best man either.

You need to have at least a maid or matron of honor (it could be your sister, cousin or mother or aunt). The reason for the custom is that you have to have at least two witnesses to sign that they know you are getting married willingly. You don't have to have a maid or matron of honor, but you would need to check with your state to find out if you need the two witness signatures or not (you could be different and have a male of honor).
