maid of honor/matron of honor question? Help please :)

can you be a bridesmaid if you are married....or does that automatically make you a matron of honor? Or is it just that a maid of honor who is married is automatically called a matron of honor?

(and if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it...... )

Re: maid of honor/matron of honor question? Help please :)

I think BM can be married or unmarried. Some people have two maids of honors (one unmarried, one married called a matron of honor.) Or you can just have one and if she is married she is a matron of honor and if not married your maid of honor.

i think maid of honor is the same thing as matron of honor except the matron is the married one..you can be a bridesmaid (even if your married) without being a matron of honor...thats just the term used to whomever you feel closest to

Can I just have a matron of honor...or does that mean that I need a maid of honor too?

you can be a BM if you are married or unmarried

You can have a matron, you can have a maid- any combination or just one of.

BMs can be married as well- they are still just BMs not Matron Maids

Well, my MOH is getting married before my wedding, so she'll be a matron, but I just hate the sound of it, and I know she will too..

You can definitely be a bridesmaid if you are married. Two of mine are married.

I think you can have either or (maid or matron of honor) or BOTH if you like. There is no title that has to be given for the married bridesmaid.

Re: maid of honor/matron of honor question? Help please :)

Yes bonnie you can be a bridesmaid and be married...but if you are a MOH and are married you are considered a matron instead of a maid!

Re: maid of honor/matron of honor question? Help please :)

No. I think you can be a BM regardless. Plus, you don't have to have a Matron of Honor. I originally didn't. But I asked my cousin last weekend if she would be mine because she is getting married the July before me and I thought it would be a nice way to honor her in my wedding.
