My mom is my best friend. I have asked her to stand up with me and be my maid of honor in our wedding.

I was the maid of honor in my childhood best friend's wedding last year.

I have always assumed she would be my maid of honor, too!

Now I will just have them both.

Now that my childhood friend is married, would she be matron of honor and my mom the maid of honor?

Since my mom is divorced, is "maid" still appropriate?

Can I have two matrons of honor?

Thank you in advance to all you wonderful ladies.

You know my old best friend wanted her mom to be her matron of honor and i was going to be the maid of honor.  However, her mom thought it was more of an honor for her to be the mother of the bride...not that she wasn't appreciative to asked to stand up there with her.  What did your mother say about being up there with you?

I would think that she would be a "maid of honor" since she isn't married

@WendyS328, it's funny you asked that, because I began typing the story and figured nah, no one cares :)

I mentioned it to her when we went dress shopping, she acted surprised, but pleased.

We talked about it several times after that and I told her time and time again that she should do what SHE wants to do and made the same point you made.

Just yesterday, we were on the phone and she really insinuated she wanted to with her comments.. oh i'm gonna have to lose weight for the wedding to be standing up next to you!, etc...

So i really think she wants to which is great!

@noritake22, that is a good idea! or "woman of honor"??

Since ours is a pretty laid back event, maybe even "Mother of Honor" to be funny?? :)

We could even just stick with saying Mother of the Bride!

Hey, "Mother of Honor" sounds good to me!

That's a good idea.

@noritake22..... Beautiful idea.. Thank you!

Now that I have all these ideas from you ladies, I will let her choose. Problem solved!

THANK YOU Bees!!

She's not married so she can't be a matron, regardless of her age. She will be your maid of honor.
