Matron And Maid Of Honor

My wedding is coming up in the future, and i have a perdicament. My sister is very important to me, and i want her as my maid of honor, her two sons are my ring bearers, and it only right that she takes that role. My other sister who was killed in a car accident a year ago cant be there, so im going to need the support of my only remaining sibling. I also have another wonderful woman in my life who is my dearest friends mother. She has been the greatest support as a mother figure due to my natural mothers failing health. She has been such a wonderful impact on the person i am, and i would love her to be a matron of honor. Is there something really wrong with me to want both a maid of honor and a matron of honor? its going to be a fairly large wedding, and i just dont want to be silly and have people think of me as stupid for not picking one or the other cause honestly, they are both equally as important to me, and its impossible to choose. If anyone has feedback, id apreciate it. Thanks...

HI Crystal, I think your idea is fantastic having two very important people in your life as two important roles in your wedding. It is your wedding and you can chose the people you want and the roles you want them to play. In these days everyone is changing their wedding to suit there own needs and wants. I believe that if you want to have both a maid of honour and a matron of honour go ahead and enjoy your day having your two special people standing at your side.

You can have both maid and matron of honor and they can share the tasks. But If that`s not the way you want to go, I think picking your sister alone is fine as your mother is the "mother of the bride" which has it`s own rewards on it`s own. Whatever you decide, make sure it`s what makes you happy. Good luck! Teresa
