Could I have a best woman instead of a best man at a wedding?

What if one of my friends is female and I want her at my side for my wedding? Is that a thing?

It's definitely a thing! I've seen it multiple times both ways. There was a Best Woman at a Jewish wedding I went to a few years ago, and I was in a bridal party with a Dude of Honor (his choice of title). Nothing wrong with it at all.

@FaeLuna Oh, in case anyone is wondering, yes the Best Woman wore a tux, and no, the Dude of Honor did not wear a dress. He wore a light colored tuxedo with tie and vest that matched the dresses.

{@jimfarris16] it seems an unusual request but not unreasonable . may be best to ask the vicar who is marrying you what the churches stance on this

It's been done. Legally, all you need are two witnesses to sign the marriage certificate. It does not matter what gender they are.

Make sure that your fiance is ok with it. That's all that really matters.

You probably could.. but I wouldn’t

I don't think your bride would like being the second best woman.

@SW-User seems like a nitpick

@JimFarris16 Okay, run it by your fiance and then call her a nitpicker if she seems queasy.

@SW-User She said that would be great lol.

Churches probably have their own sets of rules for this kind of thing but civil ceremonies won't mind

@Picklebobble2 It really depends on the church, I guess. One of the weddings I was in was held at a Catholic church, and they didn't mind that the maid of honor was a man.

Your wife has to seriously trust you i would think. Thats something you would ask her specifically.

Of course. There's nothing wrong with it...
If you haven't banged her I'll allow it
Stop playing with fire.
