Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if my situation is going to seem strange to some of you. I am Mexican and I am having a traditional Catholic wedding for the church. My dilemma is that I need a married couple to be my "padrinos de velacion" which essentially means these two people would sit with my husband-to-be in the altar. My friends have used their maid of honor and husband to play this role, but I will not.
I want to have a maid of honor and a matron of honor. My sister and my best friend of 17 years. My best friend is married, but since her husband and my fiance are not great friends, he is not in the wedding.
This would imply that I would have the first couple sit in the altar with me in the church, and on top of that I essentially have 2 maids of honor. Do you think that it is too confusing? Is it too many people?
The first couple's only role would be in the church, nothing else. They would wear whatever they want. My maid and matron of honor would do the traditional duties and wear the dresses with the wedding colors. I also have more bridesmaids, but those I'm not worried about.
On one hand I'm thinking it's my wedding and nothing is set in stone. But does this sound strange to anyone else?
I hope someone can provide me some input, because I'm not sure if this is too much. I don't know what to do.
