Could a woman be a best man at a wedding?

Question

Could a female be one of the best men in the wedding. I have a lot of guy friends but not many I could call real or close but I do have a lot of close chick friends and I would love it if they were my best men? Any Advices or ideas maybe?

Answer 1

Yeah why not.  It would be just Best Women.  Start a trend

Answer 2

My wedding had groomswomen and bridesmen. It worked out great. We had fun. I say do what you want.

Answer 3

Why not? You don't always have to go by tradition!

I would say yes as long as your soon to be wife is fine with it?

Answer 4

if they are just friends and your bride is OK with it. why not...

Answer 5

My fiance has been a " Matt of honor" at well technically three weddings now. One was the same friend at her second wedding. His name is Matthew. So while maybe not typical I see no issues if that's what you want to do.

Answer 6

I have seen this a lot in g*y or L*****n weddings, seriously.  Most of the time in regular (boy/girl) weddings, the women that are friends of the groom are still bridesmaids.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 7

it is against the creation woman &woman or man & man. It must be WOMAN & MAN.

I hate the same s*x marriage. I call all the internauts to discourage this kind of practice: same s*x marriage.

For a good day,  there will be a price to pay  for this affair.

we must say no to it.

Answer 8

I'll go against most of the other responses and say that it's a little weird. Maybe some of your women friends could be bridesmaids. Does your fiancee have some close guy friends or family who could be groomsmen? There's nothing wrong with crossing over like this, and it won't get as many comments from your guests.

Answer 9

Of course!!  Lots of people these days have a male friend be the maid of honor and a female be the best man.

If that's how you want it, go for it!

Answer 10

My aunty's best guy mate had her as his best WOman..  It looked weird, but they have a very strong friendship and it was overlooked..

So yea, why the h3ll not..  Its your wedding, so you should have who you want in your line..

They're both straight by the way..

Answer 11

maybe if your g*y lol

Answer 12

Yes- I've been to two weddings where this one done. One wedding the best woman was the groom's twin sister, the other wedding the woman was the groom's best friend. Both times they wore a black dress and stood with the other groomsmen who were wearing black suits.

Otherwise they could wear the same as the bridesmaids or a different colour of the bridesmaid's dresses.

I've also been to a wedding where the bridesmaids were more friends of the groom or the groomsmen were more friends of the bride.

Answer 13

ya man! I was gonna do it before. It ended up falling through, but ya if ya dont have a brother and a girl is your closest friend...go for it! who cares what other people think...its your wedding bro

Answer 14

why not? a best man or maid of honor is suposed to be that person's best friend and if shes that then she can be the best man

ps congrats!

Answer 15

Of course - 3 of my bridesmaids were guys.  All of my husband's groomsmen were guys though - so we really didn't have them doing any of the traditional walking down the aisle together or wedding party dances at the reception.

Answer 16

of course!! It's your wedding, do it your way and enjoy having your friends as best woman or groom's maids.!

Answer 17

I have seen weddings with best women and men of honor and it was great! If I had it to do over again I would have had a man of honor at mine instead of my drama queen maid of honor. Go for it. She can either wear a similar dress to the women in the wedding party or a black dress to match your tux.  If it is really all grrrls on your side they probably should be in black so as not to match the women actually.

Have fun!

Answer 18

sure, but she'd be "best woman", not "best man".  They don't have any official or religious roles (unless you're Eastern Orthodox). My parents did that- my dad's closest friend was female, and my mom's closest friend was her male cousin. If you have groomsmen and a woman in your party, don't make her wear a tux. Ask the girl to help you coordinate the outfits so that she can wear an outfit she likes.
