Totally for it. I am considering it myself...only I'm going to call him my "Dude of Honour" if I go with him for the job! Some of the older guests at your wedding might find it strange, but at least something at the wedding should be about your wants, right?
And don't listen to "nanny" up there. Any legitimate wedding website or book has "man of honor" or "bridesman" listed as a true wedding party position. I don't see how this will hurt a thing.

I think it's a great idea! Weddings these days are all about personalization, and making it unique to the couple. Traditionally, the woman is given the role because a maid of honor is supposed to help the bride out in any way, and a woman is usually more suited to going to dress shops, cake tastings, and throwing the bridal shower. Also, when the big day comes, the maid of honor is responsible for helping the bride get dressed, and make sure she looks her best before she walks out. If you think the best friend can accomplish these tasks, then go for it! Even if you don't, be sure to assign someone to help you with all of the necessities, like your mother or some other close female relative.

If your best friend is a male and you want him to be your "master of honor", then go ahead. It's your wedding so it's your decision. It's not the most common thing in North American weddings but it is an "up and coming" trend.

Do it! It's you special day and you need someone who really cares about you in that position whether it be a maid of honor or a master of honor!

There is no such position, and that is a very bad idea. What does your fiance think about you not getting married to your best friend - which should be him? You need to grow up. If your fiance is also good friends with him, he can have him as a groomsman. If you get married, back off the male "best" friends! Your marriage should be more important.

I think you should do whatever it is you want to do. If he is your best friend and you want him to be your Master of Honor, then I say thats great. It is your big day, do what is going to make you happy. There will also be people who will disapprove, let them, who cares.

I think anything that will add a unique spin on your wedding is always a good idea. My best friend was walked down the aisle by her father and half way he handed her off to her step-dad. It brought tears to everyone's eyes.

My daughter had her best male friend from childhood as one of her "bridesmen" and the groom had his sister as a "groomswoman". It worked out fine.

i was married in april and my husband and i have best friends that are the opposite sex. my male friend was my "brides man" i called him and my husband had a "best woman." everyone loved it! it was simple and we didn't have all that hassle with matching bridesmaids dresses, flowers, shoes etc.
