Both my MOHs are married and they did not like "matron" either, and neither did I. So they will be referred to my MAIDS of Honor.
God I hate that word. I makes me thinks of fat old women. Not just old women, but fat ones. My cousin is my MOH and I will be her MOH in her wedding too- and I will still be a MOH not MatronOH. She'll be fine with that. She likes to break the rules. ahaha
I think that's a pretty old fashioned rule and I don't know of too many people who use the term matron of honor. Unless it's a much older woman (like an aunt or something). So I think you'll be ok being Maid of Honor!
It doesn't bother me being called a matron. Nah. I'm just having a maid and matron of honor and one bridesmaid and one junior bridesmaid.
I'm having both too - my "matron" doesn't mind the title. My "maid" is divorced so I was unsure about her title but when I heard her tell someone else she was my maid of honor - that's what I went with. ;)
@DCbride.... you know I live by my own rules, so if its Maid of Honor you want, then it's Maid of Honor you shall get!
:)
I completely agreed! When my best friend gets married, I'll technically be a "matron" although I'll still be in my twenties! Eek...will anyone notice that a married girl is a "maid?"
I thought matron meant married, usually a 'married sister' and maid was a single sister, am i wrong?
I would think it's an honor to have the matron title. Just like Mrs. The definition of matron is "a married woman usually marked by dignified maturity or social distinction".
I agree, I was a Matron of Honor for my friend and I much rather wouldve preferred Maid of Honor. Same duties and everything but I felt so old!

Gee Thanks Meganrose!!! (A.K.A. My sister who is getting married!!)
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't love the word! I guess I wouldn't mind it...it would let everyone know I'm married but everyone that will be there was already at our wedding practically anyways!:)
I'm going to have a bridesmaid that will be married before my big day...does that make her a bridesmatron? lol It sounds silly.
I don't mind Matron of Honor...I guess I'll never be a MAID of Honor (officially..anyways, maybe I'll use the term! hehe) because I'm the youngest of my besties to get married.
If it bugs you tho, see if she minds...I bet she won't...refering to you as her MAID of honor
LOL, I am such an old soul because I love the fact that I am a 'matron' now. Maid sounds like I have to clean!! Matron to me sounds respectable and what not, haha.

So, my older sister just recently got engaged and they have a tentative date set for May 28, 2011. I recently told my husband that I'm a little said because, thought I have 2 sisters, I will never have a chance to be a maid of honor. I know have to be a matron of honor.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being married:) even though it has barely sunk in yet, but the word "matron" seems so old fashioned and just old in general. What do you girls think?
