2 MOH

emilynicole06

Here is another one. What are your opioions of having 2 MOH? I have been friends with a girl from my hometown since we were like 12; but I have become really close with my fiance's sister in the past 4 years that we have lived together, and would like them both to stand up next to me as my MOH.

Totally fine and eminently appropriate if you can't choose between two people.  Alternatively, you can have no MOH and all BMs instead.  My BFF is doing that--she didn't want to choose between the three of us so we're all BMs.  No one's feelings were hurt.

My fiance is having two best men, so I think it is totally fine to have two MOH's. If one is married, you can have a matron AND a maid of honor, but even if neither is, just have two maids of honor and it's no biggie.

Completely acceptable. I was going to do this...until my childhood friend and I hit a very huge rough spot so that's just not going to happen...

I am having two MOH's.  I think it's perfectly acceptable and I am a fan of not having to choose between two special people.

Best of luck.

I don't see a problem with it. It's your wedding. You can do whatever you want. You can have 2 MOHs or non and all bridesmaids. They all stand up there anyway, right? :P

completely acceptable.  And has been for a long time.  My mom had basically 2 MOH back in 1975 and that side of the family prays at the alter of emily post.  Technically my aunt was the Matron of Honor and my godmother was her Maid of Honor since only my aunt was married at the time.

Remember, it's your wedding and for stuff like this whatever works for you is perfectly fine.  Any one who thinks otherwise, tell them to go jump in the lake

I think it's fine! You can totally "break" certain "rules" to make them work for your wedding :-)

It's totally fine! 

I was once one of two MOH's.  The bride had her sister stand closest to her during the ceremony and hand her the ring for her husband.  I got to sign the marriage license and sit next to her at the head table and deliver the toast. 

It didn't hurt my feelings at all....in fact it really took some of the pressure off.

I definitely have the unpopular opinion of not liking it.  Its fine if you do it, but to me it says you couldn't decide and didn't want to hurt feelings, and its more of a slap in the face to the other BMs, mostly if you have a very small WP.  Like its saying I'm willing to break tradition to have more than one MOH, but I don't think enough of you to make you another MOH.  I don't know if that makes sense, but thats just how I see it.  Perfect example is the poster on moms and maids who had 3 women in her BP and wanted 2 MOH's and 1 BM.  Again, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but thats just how I feel about it.

Im having 2 in mine. My sister and my childhood bff (our moms were childhood bff too) AND she just so happens to be my FSIL. FI is also having 2 Best men, So it works out perfect. Theres absolutely no problem. It lets the girls know that you love them both and couldnt decide. They'll both be honored!

I have 2 MOHs.  My sister (whose birthright was to be MOH, lol) and my college roommate who has become like a sister to me over the past 8 years.  Coincidentally, FI also has two BM (his two brothers).

Ok I'm going to throw a wrench in this conversation...please let me know what I should do. I plan on having 2 MOH but I don't know which two...I have two best friends and a sister to pick from.  One friend I've known since high school and the other I've known for 7 years (she does not care either way she just wants to be a part of it) Should I pick my sister and my best friend....or my two bestfriends? Needless to say I was not chosen as my sister's MOH....oh by the way she is no longer married. Also I too want to include my FI sister....but she's married does this automatically make her my Matron of Honor? Now since I've explained the details how would you go about titles...I don't think it will look good if my sister is a bridesmaid, my FI sister is the Matron OH, and I have two MOH when neither one is my sister. Plus do you think my FI sister will be affended to be a bridesmaid? I'm thinking to forget the titles and just put their relation to me in the programs.... any thoughts
