I'm always curious about a bride knows her MOH... you can tell if someone moved around a lot, or is closer to their friends than to their family (or vice versa)... just endlessly fascinating!
Who did you pick as your MOH? If I'm missing a category, let me know and we'll add it to the poll. :-)
ps If more than one applies to your bridesmaid, you can select multiple options! Same goes if you have multiple MOH's!
I was really torn between my best friend (from college) and my SIL (who is like a sister). I went with my best friend, but then felt bad because my SIL was the one who threw my shower, asked me about planning, etc. My BF is OOT and doesn't know anything about weddings, so she didn't really know what to do or what to ask. She took her duties really seriously the day-of, though. They were both great. I should have made them both MOH.
I've known my MOH since middle school, and we've always been fairly close, but she's been especially there for me the last few years when I was deciding to change career directions and move out to CA. I really felt like has been a true friend, not that my other friends aren't great, but knew I wanted her as my MOH as soon as we got engaged.
Ahaha. I like this one.
My MOH is a man, you chauvanist pig
No one could compete for my MOH... it was an easy decision. She has been my best friend (dare I say... BFF) for 19 years! We have never fought once! We're like sisters, minus the fighting. I always felt like if neither of us found husbands, we'd just move in together and live together forever. I was pretty content with that. Unfortunately, we both found male-mates.
My MOH and I have been friends for 23 years... since the age of 4. I can't remember a time that I didn't know her, and I can't imagine anyone else as my Maid of Honor.
My maid of honor is my sister. We've planned to be each others' MOHs our entire lives.
my moh is my younger sister. she remains my closest girlfriend :)
My MOH is my "little" sister - there was no questions who to pick :) She is my closest friend.
My MOH is my cousin, who is the closest thing I have to a sister.
This is a good question! We're not having a maid of honor or best man, primarily because the Mr. can't pick! :)

My MOH is my mom, and as I expected, I'm the only vote for that so far. She's my best friend and I can't imagine having anyone else by my side.
My maid of awesome is my best friend from college. It was initially a really close call between her and my acutal sister, but when my sister acted like a horses-ass about the whole engagement she got demoted.
My MOH is my sister. There was no question about who I would pick for that spot. She is my best friend!
My MOH was my best friend from age 3...but I sort of wished I could have had 2 as to include my best friend from college. She was a BM, but I still felt a bit like I wanted both!
I have a maid of honor (my best friend from college) and a man of honor, one of my brothers. My other brother is walking me down the aisle, so I needed something equally special for the other!
I have a matron of honor (sister) and maid of honor (BFF from college). It's funny, b/c my sister did not ask me to be her MOH and she really regrets it (she wishes she had co-MOH's). She made a big deal of explaining why to me at the time, basically her BFF from forever lived int he same area and also she knew it would be a really big deal to the BFF who is an only child. My sister has felt bad about it since pretty much the day after her wedding, but it's never really bothered me. I was pretty involved in her wedding planning, but I'm her *sister* for goodness sake. I don't need the title to know I'm important to her or to recognize my involvement in officially welcoming my BIL to our family. But, the title does matter to her, so she asked me really soon after we got engaged. She said she didn't want to pressure me, she just really wanted to know. Since she's a Mom already it was pretty easy for me to figure it out (I had already decided at this point). I think it'd have been hard to choose if it meant soemthing to me, but the title really doesn't and I got lucky that it worked out in a way to make everyone else happy.
I met my MOH on the internet, so none of those options applied. We met on an internet newsgroup and have been friends for almost nine years.
My two younger sisters are definitely my closest girlfriends...so it was a no-brainer to have both a matron and maid of honor (one is married, the other is not). I wouldn't dream of having to pick one over the other...absolutely impossible.
Sisters have been the best part of life. =)

My 2 fav cuz are my MOH who said that there only has to be one.
my moh is a college friend. i don't have any sisters or childhood best friends, so it was an easy choice.
I have a lot of best friends but growing up I always had this agreement with my gf s that we'll be each other's MOH. WELL... she couldnt make it to my wedding *sniff sniff* because of various reasons so I had to look for another girl. I wanted to ask my cousin that I'm really close to but everytime I try to ask, something comes up and I just couldn't ask anymore. So I finally asked my best friend from work whom I've got close to over the past 7 years.
My MOH is my sister, because although I love my other family and friends, there is no one else I would want right by my side :)
I had a Matron of Honor (my sister) and a Maid of Honor (my friend of 14 years, since elementary school). Great question, sometimes it's hard to think of them for this topic.
I asked my sister, she is my best friends. :)

I'm having two MOH. My oldest friend from high school and my oldest friend from college!
I have two bridesmaids, but I'm not designating either one as my maid of honor. I didn't want to have to 'rank' them. Our mothers are the marriage license witnesses, I'll hand my bouquet to whoever is closest and they can both do toasts if they want to. I can't think of any other reason that I would need to pick one of them as the maid of honor.
On this topic "My MOH is a man, you chauvanist pig", I've seen people use the term "Man of Honor". If your brother or male friend would be the best person to support you on your wedding day, why not?
My MOH is someone I met at my previous job. We've been through so much together in the last 6/7 years. Even though we don't work together anymore and with live almost an hour apart, she's still my best bud.
I do have a MOH... a MAN of Honor! He is one of my best friends from High School who is extremely organized, kind, thoughtful, dependable, and able to calm my mother down as well (key point!)! He offered to help in any way he could before I chose my bridal party and offered to be there either way on the big day.
I was originally going to ask another person as I was not sure how comfortable my FH or family would be with the gender bender. After stating the pros of the situation, they all could see he was the obvious choice.
Being the sweetheart that he is, he offered to wear a dress, but I'm sure he'll be more comfortable in his tux next month.
I have absolutely no regrets in my choice and wouldn't have it any other way!
PS- Don't worry, Mr. Bee - it's not too chauvanistic, just not something heard of too often!
I had a hard choice-- I don't have any sisters to make it easy! I have a friend from high school who I will always be close with- she even introduced me and my FI. My friend from college is someone who has really stood by me through thick and thin, and I feel almost as close to her as I do to my friend from high school. In the end, I chose the college friend because she is so much more reliable- my high school friend is notoriously flaky.
It's just both of my sisters ( my sister and his sister , I hate using sister in law !) and i'm not really having a Maid of Honor . I really wanted my best friend up there but my FH is only having one groomsman and it would just look strange. So I've told her she's my Honorary Maid of Honor, kinda like Big Fat Greek Wedding!
I am close in different ways to my friends and sister, so I didn't want to single one out as the MOH. Therefore, I'm just having a bunch of bridesmaids.
I have two MOHs. My sister is my maid of honor, but she is really too busy to help with wedding tasks since she's in grad school. My Matron of Honor is my best friend from college and ever since, and she's very organized and can help a lot. She is actually our MOH/officiant.
I am having co-MOH: my best friend & sister. Then three bridesmaids. I think that it makes it hard for the co-mohs to figure out where their responsibilities lie with regards to showers/bachelorette parties, etc.. I'll have to figure it out I guess- my sister is sort of a symbolic bridesmaid I think...

Am having 4 women stand next to me.. 2 college friends, one friend from HS and the other my cousin. I will most likely choose my cousin (even though in the past 2 years we have had a huge fight that almost broke our friendship) and my friend. My cousin and I are trying to repair our friendship and are both making a huge effort. My HS friend has been my friend since I was 14. She is true and loyal and like my sister!!
My MOH is my best friend, who i've known since the 2nd grade.... and my second MOH is my sister...

I have two sisters, and when the first one of us got married, we made a deal that to avoid any squabbles we would always have each other as co-MOHs. I'm the last one of us to get married, and I'm sticking to the deal and having my two sisters (who are also my best friends) as MOHs!
I asked both my sister and my best friend. I love my sister but we are very different people in a lot of ways, I am thrilled she will be standing right next to me on the big day. I picked my BF because she introduced us and she has been my life long friend. I couldn't pick just one.
My sister is my lifelong best friend. She's matron of honor and since it's the second time for her and she's gracious enough to want to do that role again, she picked out the dresses! And I wholeheartedly agree with her choices b/c it's the same thing I wanted too!
She has been there for me and my son, thru thick and thru thin. I am so blessed to have her in my life.
