  Nope, you don't need a MOH.  You can easily split the ceremony responsbilities:  one holds your flowers during the ceremony, and one (if your state requires it) signs the license.
  
  Having said that, your wedding is over a year away.  I'd recommend waiting until around the holidays to choose your WP.  There's nothing for them to do now anyway and you might just avoid a lot of drama by waiting.

  In a word, no.

  I have two best friends and they are my only bridesmaids.  One is married and one isn't so it was easy for me to call one the Matron of Honor and one the Maid of Honor.  This is one solution.  Or just let them now they are both so special they will both be your MOH.  Or if you are more comfotable with calling them bridesmaids you can do that.  The world is yoru oyster - if you can have a Man of Honor you can have two MOH!  Enjoy!

  The wedding party on my side consisted of my 2 sisters and my friend.  I would have wanted both of my sisters to be my MsOH, but that seemed silly when I only had 3 BMs.  Therefore, I didn't ask anyone to be my MOH.  My husband did the same thing on his side.  His GM were his brothers.  He couldn't pick just one to a best man, so he didn't pick any to be a BM.

  While I understand what speechie is saying....that you CAN have two MOH in a two person wedding party, I think it's sort of silly to call them "honor attendants" when there aren't any other attendants.  Do you know what I mean?
  
  I'd call both of your cousins Bridesmaids or Bride's Attendants.
