Re: Is there another name

I've only heard of Best Man used most often. I've also heard them referred to as "honor Attendant" when a man ask a woman to be his "best man". It's referred to as an "honor Attendant", but otherwise, it's just "best man". Sorry Turiya.

Re: Is there another name

:) Thanks ladies!

I came up with something after a few mins of posting ...FH's dad has past, and FH is walking out w/a white rose as representation to place on his chair ..that will be decorated just for him, he already has best men listed ...but I wanted to name his dad as a "part of the bridal party" on the program ...soooo

It will be list as such...

Honored Best Man
Late ~
Best Man
~
Best Man
~
Groomsman
~

Sometimes I need to talk or type it out in ordering to get my wheels spinning ... :)

Thanks again!

Dag I hate my brain sometimes, just thought of something else ..

Which do you like best?

Honored Best Man
Graced Best Man
Adorned Best Man
Embellished Best Man

Re: Is there another name

Not sure, but it's your wedding create your own tradition.

I created my own tradition, I wanted my daughter to stand out so I created a title for her. She was too old (16 at the time) to be a junior bride and I didn't want her to be a junior brides maid. The title I created was "Princess Bride's Maid". It worked for us -- LOL!!!

Honored Best Man sounds best IMO. Rhony, that was a great title for your daughter.

Born Blessed!

Re: Is there another name

Child please you need to just call him best man. By calling him Honored best man people will start to think you two was fooling around ad you was honored. lol Just joking. However when you say honor best man that makes groom seem so boring.

I don't think anyone will think me and his deceased father were fooling around, especially since he was already deceased before me and FH got together. Thanks for your thought though.

Re: Is there another name

Honestly I didnt read all of the post and thought you was refering to a living person( which people usually refer to as best men). If I offended you, I apologize, but like I said I was just joking.

No apology neccessary babe ...NOW tell me what you think of the title Honored Best Man, so his dad can be a part of the ceremony ...btw his dad means alot to him, he raised him from birth, after his mother left him in the hospital at 2 days old ...

Re: Is there another name

Are you planning on placing a explanation in your program about the placing of the white rose? Including a brief message about his dad would be nice.

That is very touching and I know that there won't be a dry eye in sight. Now will you have someone to read that during your ceremony?

Haven't decided on that yet, that one will be framed in his chair, and there's going to be another one on the candle table, for our other passed loved ones ...

And now as I type this post, I'm thinking it won't be a bad idea to have FH walk out with it, read it, and put both the frame and the rose down together ....thinking thinking thinking ...

I would say have it read as FH enters. he may be too emotional to read it himself.

You're right ...he will be walking in to a song though ...so I'm leaning more towards inserting it in the program, since I am doing the layered style ..:)

Turiya the poem is beautiful. I would just insert it in the program. Although reading it would be beautiful, it might stir up many unexpected emotions on what is already an emotional day. You don't want to chance altering the mood of the your ceremony.
