My boyfriend and I got married in Vegas, but we are eventually going to have a big wedding. My question is.....would it be weird if I had men as my bridesmaids? Because I don't really have any close girl friends. All my best friends are guys. Would it be weird if my sister was my maid of honor and I had 4 guys stand next to her in their tuxedos? This is a serious question. Please give me an honest answer.

If people can marry anyone they want, YOU can have as many guys walking down that aisle as you want. IT IS YOUR WEDDING!!! Be unique. If your best friends are all guys, bring on the fellas. (without them holding hands though) :)

I've been to a few weddings like this. I would first and foremost check with your husband that he is okay with it. From there, depending on how involved the parents are (especially if they are paying), then figure out their stance. A big part of me wants to say go for it, but my wedding was paid for by my parents and I know they wouldn't have stood for it. They were even upset that our best man was my father-in-law!
In the end, if it makes you happy, do it, but be cautious. Or start calling your female cousins!

Your wedding is a personal occasion to be carried out in exactly the way that you see fit.
It is a time when you actually don't need to conform to anybody's expectations, but your own and also your hubby.
So if that is what will make you happy, I think you musn't worry about it, everything will be just lovely and just the way you want it to be.
I am sure your guy friends will be honoured to attend the bridal party as well. Good Luck, hope this helps.

My sister in law's sister had a man as her "bridesmaid". It's not about social convention but who YOU and your husband want in your wedding party. I think that you should have those who care for you and your husband in your wedding party, whether they're men, women, children etc; This is the celebration of your committment to each other.
GOOD LUCK

So it be pairs of guys walking down the aisle to greet the groom, as you follow?
Well, I don't think it's weird, just different. How would all the fella's feel walking down the aisle paired up? As long as the whole wedding party is fine with it, then do as you wish. It's your wedding.

Yes, this would be unconventional to say the least.
You better be ready for HUGE amount of flack over this,
you sister will be the center of attention instead of you
becuz she is the only other female...
Nto on your day should anyone else be the attention getter.
You don't have to have a ton of bridesmaids, or consider
people from his family or yours instead of great friends...

this would be great! :) just make sure your male attendants wear something different to the groomsmen! and dont make them carry flowers haha that would look stupid.. im not sure how it would look walking down the aisle.. you could get away with them standing on your side when getting married.. hmmm complicated! have a lovely wedding x

if you don't have a lot of girl friends maybe that could be okay as long as you make up another term to call them and not "bridesmaids". :-) how about bridesmen??? groom's men and bride's men is okay... it';s thumbs for me.. no problem about it.. you cannot push through having girl just bridemaids and have girls that you're not event that much close to. what's important in my opinion i think is that people who you are close to are around. Congratulations.

I don't think it would be weird. It is something different but if they are your closest friends than that is who should be with you on your special day. They may not want to walk arm in arm with the groomsmen :) But it is your day and you should do what you want and not let other people tell you otherwise.

I'm sure it'll have been done before. And isn't there a technical term for them, 'cos they won't exactly be bridesMAIDs. But it's your wedding, do what you want.
