You can call me whatever you want on your wedding.

YOUR WEDDING...YOUR WAY

My cousin was my matron of honor, but I kept calling her my maid of honor because that's the terminology I was used to and she didn't mind at all. In fact she preferred that I called her my maid of honor instead of matron because she thought matron made her sound like she was old.

And even though she was not married when you had asked her, the minute she became married she became your matron of honor instead of your maid of honor. Silly I know, but that's how it is.

If you want to be technically correct, then it's matron. If you all don't give a flying crap about being correct about titles, then call her your maid of honor. There are bigger things to worry about!!

I agree, Thank You!

Can I be honest? If people know your Maid of Honor is married and really should be called a Matron of Honor they are going to drive you NUTS correcting you!

And the fact that she wasn't married when you asked her doesn't really matter.

Like I said, you can call her whatever you want, BUT like I also said, people are going to say (imagine a nagging voice) 'Shouldn't it be a matron of honor since Kelly is married?'
