Zj, on August 9, 2022 at 6:48 AM Posted in Planning 2 10
So basically my cousin just got married who ive been close with our whole lives and I wasn’t her maid of honour which is fine but it was something we’ve always talked about so I was just thinking is it weird if she’s my maid of honour when I wasn’t hers

    Nope, not weird. I have bridesmaids in my wedding who I was not in theirs, vice versa. If you feel like she's a good fit to be your MOH, go for it!

    My cousin is my MOH, another cousin is a Bridesmaid.

    I KNOW when my MOH gets married I will not be her MOH, my other cousin who is a bridesmaid just got engaged and has set a date for next October, and I'm 99% sure I will not be a bridesmaid for her.

    There is no weird feeling or animosity about it, my cousins are the closest things I have to sisters as I only have my brother, but they all have their sisters (these two cousins of mine are sisters) there are different dynamics in every bridal party and it doesn't always have to be a tit for tat.

    I don't think it's weird. I was maid of honor in my brother's wedding, but my sister-in-law wasn't my maid of honor. She was a bridesmaid though.

    Pick whoever you want to stand with you. Roles are not tit for tat.

    Not weird. There’s no rule of reciprocity when it comes to wedding roles.


    I have a friend getting married later this year who made this mutual friend of ours from middle school a bridesmaid in her wedding, but that friend did not make her one for her July wedding that just happened. Different people have different feelings about what roles they want to ask people to have in their weddings. Try not to view it as a negative reflection on you. I’m sure she values you very much since you mentioned you’ve been close your whole life.

    Not weird. I was my friend's MOH and she's not mine. She's one of my bridesmaids, but I am closer with another friend at this point in my life.

    That's not weird at all. People have all different relationships in their lives. How nice for you to have someone in your family that you are so close with!

    Not at all. I was my best friend MOH & we talked about it when we were younger. But for my wedding my MOH was my sister and my best friend didn’t have any ill feelings towards it. My sister is also getting married next year and I would not feel bad if she didn’t have me as her MOH. It’s just the nature of the beast.
