We are thinking about giong ultra simple.
He wants to have his brother has his best man. Sort of a no brainer.
I don't have a sister. I would like to have my brother stand up on my side.
That means no brides"maids".
Do you think people would think this was terrible?
Re: Can I have a guy on my side?
Anyway, people are now realizing that WPs are not about gender or symmetry, and they choose those they care about to stand with them on their side. It's not completely brand new either: 6 years ago my friend had her brother as her honor attendant, and her DH had his sister as his honor attendant.
I say do it. And you can simply call both your Honor Attendants.
This is maybe an unusual perspective, but my fiancee and I, being both girls, have broken it up as follows
Her:
MOH (her best friend)
BM1 (her high school friend)
BM2 (her little sister)

Me:
BMan (my best friend, who's also her MOH's fiance)
GM1 (my high school bff who happens to be male)
GM2 (my little brother)
so my entire party is men. I guess you could say we're lucky in that all her best friends are girls and all my best friends are guys, but really, we wouldn't have minded if hadn't broken down that way. We're going to be pretty non-trad as it is.
[QUOTE]It's absolutely fine. My best guy friend stood up with me. In the programs, I simply listed "Bride's Attendants" and "Groom's Attendants."

This is what I'm doing as well. Technically my brother will be a "bridesman."

I say, do what works for you and your wedding. Every wedding is different, or at least it should be. I think it would be wonderful if you asked your brother to stand with you, and like other posts, I think he would be honored also. GL!
