No best man

Definitely not a requirement to have a best man or man of honor! I’ve been to weddings that had neither, and I’ve been to weddings that have had multiple people hold the title. His reasonings for not wanting one are sound, and I would suggest he just not choose one- all of his friends can stand next to him equally

*maid of honor

He can have all groomsmen, it's not a requirement to have a best man!

LOL we were in that situation too! I had a maid of honor and a matron of honor, but hubby didn’t want to choose a best man from his groomsmen. All of them were labeled groomsmen on our wedding website and I just paired them with my bridesmaids according to height to determine walking order for ceremony. I asked him to select a couple groomsmen that would be more comfortable with public speaking to give a short joint speech during the reception.

Definitely cool not to have a best man but is someone going to have to sign the marriage license like as a witness? He might want to pick one person to do that.

All of them can be a best man!

I have 8 bridesmaids and no MOH

I didn't pick a maid/matron of honor. I just had a bridal party.

Having a Best Man is entirely optional. Heck, the entire wedding party is optional, Lol.

I think it’s best not to have a best man for MOH. Those simple titles create an unnecessary ranking in a role that is not really necessary anyway. I think your FH is wise.

We don't have a best man or MOH either. We have each chosen a friend to give a speech but they don't have to stand during the ceremony or wear anything specific.

I'm probably going to be in the minority, but I'd find it a bit bizarre that he had no best man, but you have not one but two matrons of honor. If he doesn't want to choose from his friends, does he have brothers or male cousins that he loves just as much, if not more so? My sister and BIL opted not to have a bridal party at all, as she also had a large number of close friends from whom she couldn't just pick out a few. (Sixteen years later, I might still be just a little miffed that she didn't at least ask our other sister and I.) I'm just trying to see things from your FH's point of view. I know mismatched bridal parties are kind of a thing, but I like the symmetry. If he can't possibly pick two from what he has, then maybe your better option might be no party at all. Just my opinion, and again, probably not a popular one, but that's my two cents.

View Quoted Comment Same here. FH couldn't pick just one as a best man and so I didn't pick a maid/matron of honor. We only have groomsmen and bridesmaids.

View Quoted Comment That’s why my husband did — he had six best men!

View Quoted Comment Awesome!!!

He doesn’t need. To have a beat man.

I don't have a maid of honor. I invited my four closest friends and my sister to be in the bridal party. I love my sister but for several reasons has opted out of any involvement beyond the ceremony. She will lead the processional. One of my friends is an event rockstar and offered to throw me a bridal shower with the help of my two other local friends. The fourth friend lives out of state. She was the only one of the group who wanted to give a toast. In my situation, it felt weird to give just one of them the title.

I'm so incredibly grateful to have friends to share in my joy the morning of my wedding. Everything else has just been icing on top.

My FH is having a best man and best woman--he chose his childhood best friend and his sister. I have 3 matrons of honor and no bridesmaids. Couldn't choose. It's up to you guys what you do and how you make it work for yourselves Give out the titles you want and don't worry about 'tradition'.
