Man of Honor

Has anyone had a Man of Honor? I am very close with my brother, who is also gay and more in touch with his feminine side. My fiancé loves him too but not to the point where he would necessarily have him as a groomsman. I would love to have him on my side and he gets along great with the girls I would have as bridesmaids! I just am curious if anyone has done this and how it worked out in terms of the traditional wedding party activities. I don’t want it to be awkward for him but still want him to be included in things! Another option would be to have him participate in more of the “groomsmen activities” but still be on my side as the Man of Honor. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!!

I currently have a MAN OF HONOR. My best friend of 16 years. My brother is also standing up with me along with 5 bridesmaids. I'm a huge fan of having those standing up with you who you feel supported by and will 100% encourage your success and happiness as a couple and as individuals. Whomever that person may be. Yes my brother is close with my fiance but he's my person. My MOH is my person... lol these guys are my closest friends and family (blood or chosen). Be surrounded by your people and have those memories with your brother on that special day.

I don’t have a man of honor but I do have two bridesmen (super good friends from college). Bridal party is about choosing who is closest to you

My brother is my man of honor and my best friend is my bridesman. They both came to my bridal shower and helped with the games. They also put together a bachelorette for me. There has been no awkwardness so far and I don't expect there to be. Day of I plan to hang out with them while getting ready like I would if I had bridesmaids.

There's nothing wrong at all with a Man of Honor! That's a very sweet way to include your brother in the festivities and celebrate your marriage

We have men on both sides of our bridal party. I don’t know why their gender or sexuality really matters, just your relationship with them.

When my MOH got married last year she had a Man of Honor. They joked that if he wasn't gay he would be the one marring her instead of her husband.
He attended the bridal shower along with us (I was one of her BM) and planned and attended the batch party. The day of he was in the bridal suite with us helping us get her and ourselves ready. There was never any awkwardness on either sides during any time or activity. I thing it helped that we all knew each other to begin with.
If you're that close to your Brother, do it!

I have three bridesmaids and one BRIDESMAN. My cousin who I adore and I wouldn’t ever feel right not having him stand by my side. He is coming to the Bach party and bridal shower ( which he is helping plan). It’s so unfair to expect everyone’s closest friends to be the same sex, an for those who aren’t to miss out in sharing that special day with their loved one.

I'm having a teeny wedding party with both of my best friends, one man and one woman. We're all very close. He'll be doing all the bridal activities and I'm definitely buying him a floral 'getting ready' robe, which he'll probably pull off better than us two girls.

I will have both of my brothers standing on my side as "brides men" instead of making my FH narrow down his groomsmen to accommodate my brothers. As far as all of the activities they will be with the groomsmen
