A friend of mine has asked me to be a bridesmaid for her. I have already een married myself for 2 years and was just wondering if you keep the title of bridesmaid if you are already married. I thought you were called a matron of honor but this only goes if you are chief bridesmaid as such. As I will just be one of the other bridesmaids can somebody please tell me the correct title? Thanks for the help!!!

not unless you are still a maid, you can as you said be a matron of honour,
which is virtually the same thing. this goes back to when brides were expected to be virgins and so still a maiden. Her attendants were expected to be the same, thus a married attendant ( no longer a maid) would be a matron of honour .

Yes. You don't want to disappoint your friend by saying no because I am married. There is no set requirements to be a bridesmaid. Only the bride can set requirements, but if she asked you, then you meet all the requirements to become a bridesmaid.

You can be a bridesmaid if you are married or not. If it is just a regular bridesmaid, that is your title. If you are the principal bridesmaid and married you are called the matron of honor, if you are unwed it is the maid of honor. Hope your friend has a wonderful wedding!

It doesn't matter if you are married to be a bridesmaid. A Maid of Honor is someone who isn't married, and a Matron of Honor is some who is married. But a bridesmaid is a bridesmaid no matter what the marital status is.

Yes you will still be called a bridesmaid. Matron of honor just refers to a Maid of Honor that is married.

You can keep the title of bridesmaid or you can take the title of matron. But not matron of honor.

Yes, you can still be a bridesmaid as a married woman. Maid of honor goes to the chief bridesmaid who is unmarried; matron of honor goes to the chief bridesmaid who is married. All other women in the bridal party (except the mother of the bride, of course) are simply bridesmaids.

Yes you keep the title of bridesmaid. The title of maid of honor changes to matron of honor if the woman is married.

Of course you can be a bridesmaid wether your married or not, young or older it doesn't matter, matron of honour is usually a very good friend who is given alot of responsibility. Hope this helps

You can be a bridesmaid.You can also be a matron of honor but that title is usually held by the best friend or the sister of the bride.So you can be the brides maid just not a bride:).
