    No. You should choose the person you are closest to. If it's not your sister, then don't ask her to be MOH.

    I agree.  This is one decision that is ENTIRELY up to you.  Don't feel pressured by "traditions" and what family thinks you should do.  Traditions are changing.  Nowadays, it's common to have more than one MOH, or even a Man of Honor.  In the end, you will be much happier to have your closest friend right there by your side.  Good luck!

    Nope. You really shouldn't use phrasing like "use ____ for," though. Don't use anybody for anything.

    [QUOTE]That's never been a tradition.  A Maid of Honor isn't required at all.  It's simply a title that is sometimes given to show that this person is especially close to the bride. You can choose anyone you wish, or no one at all.  "I love you all too much to pick and choose from among you, so I won't select an honor attendant." "Thanks for the suggestion, but I've asked Susie to be my Maid of Honor," if anyone asks why you didn't choose your sister Jill.  If a parent complains:  "Mom, you know Jill and I are far apart and age, and live across the country from each other.  She hasn't said anything about being disappointed.  YOU are the one who is upset."

    No way! Choose your best friend. If that's not your sister, then so be it. I have one sister in the wedding and one sister not in the wedding. They're both totally fine with that.
