Okay so my best friend is a guy. I love my big sis and she would be upset if it wasn't her, but I have three sisters and I don't want any of them to feel less important. I know it is different, but do you think it is okay? He is my best friend and has been there for me always.

of course it's okay! My sister in laws hubby had his best female friend as an "honor attendant" when they got married.
while your hubby to be is your best friend too...this make friend is a best friend ina different way. Dont listen to anyone on here saying no. I too have a best male friend of 18 years....hes a grromsman in our wedding and my relationship with him wont change once I am married, or which my hubby to be is aware. It's a different kind of relationship all together...sorta like a brother/sister relationship but better. Good luck!

1. The groom HAS to be okay with it. If he' not, then don't!
2. He should still stand on the guy's side, showing that he is there for the COUPLE.
3. Expect some people to question your relationship if he stands on your side and/or if you refer to him as your best friend. Your best male friend really should be your groom. If he's not, then you are not with the right man.
4. There is a man that I have known for over 15 years. I have referred to him as my "best guy friend" many times. I've been in other relationships where I thought I was with "the one". This year, I am marrying my "best guy friend". Neither of us have ever been married previously.
5. I strongly believe that it's ok for him to be a groomsman if he is friends with BOTH of you, but quesitonable if he is only your friend and stands with the girls.
6. Guy typically won't be hurt if they are not in your wedding.

That would be so great having a best friend guy being your maid of honor...but he would have to be called the "man of honor" .
Go for it.
Change Tradition. After all the sky is the limit in weddings today.
Best Wishes.

There is nothing that says tradition cant be broken the maid of honor is always the best friend, so if your best friend is a guy, go for it, your sisters will be in the wedding party so I dont see a problem

Absolutely! Have your best friend by your side, and have your sisters as bridesmaids.
If your sister is going to be upset, have a heart-to-heart with her about why this is important to you. You do need to be sensitive to the needs of the people around you, after all. But I think your reasons are very good, and chances are your sister will be okay as long as she's assured you still love her. And who knows? She may surprise you by being completely supportive.

I think it's perfectly fine. I'm actually going to have my brother be my "man on honor", and my sister as my maid of honor. And like everyone else has said, it's your wedding. Do what you want to do! If you let others change your mind you'll regret not getting to have your wedding your way. Congrats on the wedding!

Well, I would hope that your best friend is a guy - BUT it should be your husband. If you have a male friend that you want as part of the wedding party, he would be a groomsman. The attendants are for both the bride and groom. Similarly, if your fiance had a sister you wanted in the wedding party, she would be a bridesmaid.

Your best friend is fixing to be replaced with your husband.....because in the scheme of things Your Husband should always be your best friend......
Start letting go now........Your sister should be the maid of honor.
The Bride and the Groom should be the only ones talked about at a wedding......No one should take attention off of them.

It's a totally cool idea. More and more people are doing this. I went to a wedding where the bride had a "Man of Honor" and he stood next to her at the alter. After the wedding he walked by himself down the aisle.

SURE!
We're doing things a bit more "un"traditionally for ours as well.
We are not having a MOH or BM....we're each having a best person. My best friend is mine (essentially the MOH), but my fiance is having his mother stand up for him. And I'm having my daughter walk me down the isle rather than my father...who will be there and is VERY supportive of the marriage...but I just feel that I am more so my daughters to "give away" or have the blessing of for this marriage than what I am my dads. (If that makes any sense?)
I'm sure that your sisters will not be offended, especially if you explain to them that you just couldn't choose between the 3, so you gave them each an equally important role.
