Maid Of Honor
My fieonce is freaking out because I want my best friend who happens to be a guy to be my maid of honor. I have known him since I was 5 yrs old and we have stood by each other since. How do I do this in a tasteful manor? He wants it to be tradtional.

Thats a tough one to tackle. Although it is out of tradition to have a male as a MOH, you can have him as a part of your wedding party however you would like to. Its your wedding. If its that big of a deal to have him as your MOH, ask your fiance if he can be the best man, or have him officate your ceremony. Obviously you can`t call him you MOH, but you can call him YOUR best man or Man of honor, wearing a tux that the groomsmen are wearing but with accessories (like the tie and stuff) the colors of the dresses. If your fiance can`t see eye to eye, maybe there are some deeper issues you should tackle. Nothing should stand in the way of making you happy on your wedding day, and if this guy friend means that much, he should know this by now and stand by and support your decision to have him as you Man of Honor.
