What would the title be for a man if he stood up with the bride instead of a a woman ie. Matron of Honor ????

Question

a friend of mine wants her best friend...a Guy, to stand up for her at her wedding. What would you call him. Would he be considered the bestman or what? If it was a woman she is named the Maid or Matron of Honor. He wouldn't be a groomsman because that would complement the Groom not the Bride. If anyone knows please get back with me ASAP

Answer 1

Honor Attendant is what most folks would call him and Man of Honor is also used

He would wear the same clothing as the other men in the wedding party with some distinction such a slightly different vest, boutonniere, or tie. If the other bridesmaids are being escorted, your man of honor could escort an unescorted female family member (aunt, grandmother). Or, the bridesmaids and he could walk the aisle alone.

Obviously, he would not help you dress or attend an all female shower, that would be way too awkward. During the first dance, he would dance with all of the other attendants.

Make sure the photographer knows that he is your honor attendant and not an usher, so your pictures will reflect that.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Answer 2

Matron of Honor is the title given to a woman who is married and is standing up for the bride as opposed to a Maid of Honor who is not married. I believe the term used would be the Man of Honor. Don't quote me on that, but I believe that is the proper term to use. I would suggest doing a Google search or wedding websites to see if this topic is addressed just to make sure.

Answer 3

Man of Honor seems to be the prefered term, as does Best Woman if the situation was reversed. I've also heard of a man being called the Honor Attendant. He wouldn't likely be called the Best Man, because that's generally reserved for the groom's side.

Answer 4

You are wrong, he would stand on the groom's side. It doesn't matter to whom he is closest, the girls and guys are on opposite sides. In total, they are the attendants, the wedding party, there for the couple, not just the bride or the groom. So the guy would be a groomsman, or a best man if the groom doesn't have one.
And you had better tell your friend to straighten her priorities - she should be marrying her best friend, not have her best friend dude be in the wedding party.

Answer 5

It is man of honor. At my brother-in-law's wedding the bride called her male friend, the bride's butler. He was not the maid of honor position though, he was a bridesmaid position.

Answer 6

You could call him the Man of Honor or the Bride's Best Man (though, techincally, that's the groom, lol)

Answer 7

A friend who did this called her attendant the "Dude of Honor", which was pretty cute, but if you're doing a more formal thing it might be better to call him the "Gentleman of Honor" or call the "head person" on both sides "Honor Attendant".

Answer 8

Man of Honor.

Answer 9

In 1st international international locations, the two men an females face equivalent hardships. men would face dropping their toddlers after divorce and are in lots of cases positioned down via society without society determining they're doing it. on the different hand, females in 1st international international locations nevertheless face subject concerns like rape, low earnings, issues having toddlers whilst working, no maternity pass away, or perhaps discrimination in the placement of work. nonetheless, females do have advantages that men do not. In 0.33 international international locations or something in between, there's no query who has it worse.
