Man-Maid
Whatever works, I say.
Nearly one in 10 modern wedding parties showcase unconventional gender choices, according to popular wedding site Theknot.com.NaughtyBoyfriend's ex just got remarried. How bitchy would you think me if I secretly wished this guy was standing next to her? In other news, how many guys do you know that would tolerate being called a "man-maid"? Bitch Plz tag explodes.
But most incongruous of all may be the guy directly to the bride's left: the dude of honour.
And he's finding himself picking out dresses, holding the bride's train and making bachelorette party arrangements - phallic cakes and all.
"It was more work than my own wedding," says Brampton, Ont.-born engineer Paul Thistle, 39, maid of honour and brother of the bride.
"When I got married, it was more like tell me what to wear and where to show up."
He and his kind have become popular enough to garner many titles: man-maid, man of honour, bridesman, patron of honour.
"We actually call them honour attendants," says Anna Post, wedding expert and great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, the etiquette matron.
The practice has even spawned a feature movie: Patrick Dempsey, Dr. McDreamy on television's Grey's Anatomy, is set to star in Made of Honor, about a man whose female love interest asks him to be her maid of honour.
It wasn't so long ago that tastemakers would have scoffed at such role reversals. "People would have had fainting spells," Ms. Post says. "Mixing it up would have pulled too much attention away from the couple."
Today, however, some wedding planners actually encourage brides to choose a dude of honour. They say that the bride's joy, and not honouring stolid traditions, should be paramount on the big day. (Source)
