“Do I look matronly to you?” asked a Matron of Honour at a wedding a few years ago. This was the scene in my head when I responded to an e-mail from a bride this morning. Her sister was unhappy about the name Matron of Honour and she wondered whether there was another way to say this in the wedding programs.
I can see the sister’s point. I don’t know any woman who wants to be referred to as matronly. My favourite option has always been Best Woman. I think it’s great for any woman, married or not, and it seems to be the natural partner to Best Man.
Some other options:
Woman of Honour
Lady of Honour
Honour Attendant
Attendant of Honour
And, from one internet bride who truly loved her MOH: Goddess of Honour!
That’s definitely not matronly!
