What do you call the pairing of a bridesmaid/groomsman?

Question

Does the pairing itself have a name? Is there a specific term for this in any culture? "Wedding party couple" didn't sound right...it sounds as if the two are actually a couple.

Answer 1

if you are asking about how to list them in the program  I  usually see them like this

                                  Jessica Smith

               Brides college roommate and best friend

                                   Escorted by

                                   Kurt Thomas

                          Grooms childhood Friend

If they he/she is the MOH or Best man , like this

                                  Becca Gale

                    Maid of Honour, Brides best friend

                                 Escorted by

                                  John Doe

                   Best Man ,  Brother of the groom

You would do the same for flower girls and others    Be sure to list them in the order that they will go down the aisle.

Or list them separately   and dont worry about pairing them off.  that is also very common
