Am I supposed to have both a Matron of Honor and Maid of Honor.  I already have a Matron and I would love to name my other friend the Maid of Honor but I'm afraid of hurting the Matron's feelings.  I don't know, what do you think?

    Matron = married MOH
    Maid = unmarried MOH

    They are not two separate roles to be filled.

    If you think it would hurt her feelings, then don't do it.  If you don't think it would hurt her feelings and are just asking people to be in your WP still, go for it.

    Okay, I thought you could have both.  I'll probably just stick with Matron of Honor alone.

    You can totally have both if you want.  Your OP made it sound like you felt you had to find someone to fill each role for the sake of having one of each (or I misread it to get that impression).  If you want two, have two.  If you want one, have one.

    You can have both.  You can have one or the other.  You can have NO honor attendant.  Your choice.

    Just re-read what Brooke said about the titles:  the different names indicate the marital status of the person.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    You CAN have both.

    You don't HAVE to have both.

    Totally your call.

    Ok, so I was in the MOH's spot a couple years ago. My best friend from high school always said I would be her maid of honor. I was thrilled when she got engaged and asked me. (This was a while ago and I have since grown up) Then I found out that she also asked another girl to be her matron of honor. I was a little upset because she split the "duties" (again, no duties). I felt like I wasn't important. So if you think they may take it this way, don't ask. But I have since matured and would not care.

    You can do both, it's really just your call.  I was torn between my aunt and my closest friend for the role, and chose my aunt as Matron of Honor.  I considered having my friend be the Maid of Honor as well, but honestly I didn't like the idea of it.  It does give special honors to 2 people, but what about the duties the MOH has that day, such as signing the license as a witness, straightening your dress, and things like that?  That's when I realized I was going to have to pick one of them to do that anyways, so I just had one.
