Vintage Budget Eco Bride

There is nothing that says you can't have a person of the opposite sex stand up with you. My fiance's “best man” is a woman he refers to as his cousin. Just make sure that the person you are asking is okay with it (and not just saying yes because he or she feels like saying no isn't an option) and make sure that the person he or she will be paired up with for the walk down the aisle after the wedding is okay with it too, and if not, do some rearranging so he or she is paired up with someone who doesn't mind (much the way you would make sure to not pair up two people who can't stand each other). In my case, my sixteen (who will be seventeen for the wedding) year old sister is going to be my maid of honor, and I asked her if she would be comfortable with it, as opposed to being escorted out by a man in his twenties that she probably will not have met (aside from a quick introduction) before the wedding. She was much more comfortable with the idea of being escorted out by a woman she will probably meet before we get married.
