Comments on: When The Best Man Is A Woman http://www.iamstaggered.com/featured/when-the-best-man-is-a-woman Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:52:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Howard Keele http://www.iamstaggered.com/featured/when-the-best-man-is-a-woman#comment-9038 Howard Keele Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:23:44 +0000 http://www.iamstaggered.com/?p=867#comment-9038 Today, it is fine to include a person of the opposite sex among your attendants. Older couples with adult children have been doing this for years. The criteria for choosing attendants remains the same as it has always been – choose people that are relatives or that are close to you and will continue to be a part of your life in the future. If that person is of the opposite sex, that is fine in most instances, unless your wedding will be held in a conservative church or synagogue. Then, you may need to obtain the approval of the pastor/priest/rabbi before asking the person to be in your line. When a person of the opposite sex is chosen to fill the position of maid of honor or best man, he or she should be called "the bride’s honor attendant" or "the groom’s honor attendant." Ultimately, one factor alone does not decide the outcome of the wedding, whether people will remember it for the good things and not the awkwardness that the Best Man was a woman. A perfect location, a perfect theme, a perfect setting, will remain in the memories of all the guests. Wedding venues in Stoke on Trent would be ideal for any couple to have their dream wedding or civil ceremony. Located halfway between Manchester and Birmingham, this Stafford-shire city forms part of the Potteries Urban Area. Stoke lies adjacent to Newcastle Under Lyme and is bordered to the East by the resplendent scenery of the Peak District. Stoke is made up of six towns, each offering perfect locations for wedding ceremonies and receptions from hotels to country houses and town halls to castles. The famous Alton Towers Theme Park and Water world can also be found in this city. Within the Cultural Quarter you will find an abundance of theaters, galleries and museums – many of which are licensed to hold weddings services or offer their magnificent space to couples for their wedding receptions. Stoke also has a vibrant music scene, both in terms of popular and classical music and this is reflected in the nightlife opportunities which are plentiful.

Usually it would sound crazy to say to leave the ladies out (after all if they're an important part of your life, what's the problem), but brides are 9/10ths crazy at all times and this issue might be enough to hit up that final 1/10th. A big hello to all our bride readers, you know it's true.

I never even thought about it or had heard of it happening. I guess it is not too common. I’m all for it, but I agree it could be uncomfortable to have a female best man.
