If you know deep within your heart that you wouldn't feel offended if your bride shows up with a man (tall handsome muscled guy) as her Chief bridesmaid, then go ahead.

This question is similiar to asking ''can i wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on some converse sneakers (in place of a standard well fitted suit n tie & nice shoes) to my wedding?''
Nobody will slap you if you do this, but u'll likely offend those that matter, & its not just 'right'.

Except in an unexpected situation like Siena's case, i dont think using a woman is really a good idea.

Does it really matter

dangerzone: Does that really happen or its just a fab??

I'm not into telling porkies. My Best man didn't turn up, there was no time to get anyone else, so a female friend of my wife's stepped into the role. And that's all it is, a role.

Its amazin hw myopic, naïve and ignorant nigerians can be in their thinkin and reasoning...there is absolutely nothin wrong if u decide to av a woman as ur bestman or bestwoman as it is alternatively termed or if a woman decides to have a matron-of-honour as opposed to the usual maid-of-honour commonly used. @op dnt listen to anyone who trys to make u feel like its abnormal...its rare but definitly nt abnormal.

Siena: My best man decided to air a personal grudge on our wedding day, and didn't show up. When we kept calling, he wouldn't respond, in the end, he turned his phone off.

It was left for a female to step into the role of my Best Man, and a brilliant job she did too.

So no, I don't see any big deal using a lady as best man.
jst tell us the title of the movie.

KINGwax: i finally have to admit dt one can never, i repeat, never outshine one's brain. When u try, u only end up being foolish.
When we try to appear western, we eventually disgrace our skin. How is a best man a lady? How is a best lady a man? Is it english or what? That's how we see nothin wrong with homos, nothing special in divorce, nothin bad in marryin an animal.
U, mrs chima tends to support every poo that makes u feel unafrican. Mrs chima is not intelligent. She is a fool. A matured one too!
This is realy funny.

Toyota car dat one don comot for bestman na,na bestwoman abi na bestlady I go call am sef.
Re: Using A Woman As Your Best Man by ayobase(m): 11:27pm On Oct 03, 2012
Its now so official for a ''Madam'' to answer ''Sir''. We would surely debate against this before it was implemented, but here we are today.
.
It will be more demeaning for a ''Man'' to stand in a ''position'' of a ''Woman'', but the reverse is okay!
.
I might not be supporting this though, but let her be dressed up in feminine suit (trouser) if u must insist!

At least, try being a bit more original with your comment, this has been done to death, unless you can't think for yourself, and have to echo what you've read elsewhere. Sometimes, you need to realise not everyone's like you, or reasons like you. You spend too much time attaching importance to things that aren't a big deal, that you fail to see the wood for the trees.
Re: Using A Woman As Your Best Man by Tolaaaaannni(f): 12:49am On Oct 04, 2012
I think the title will be "Best Woman" then. simple.
Re: Using A Woman As Your Best Man by Nobody: 12:56am On Oct 04, 2012
Tolaaaaannni: I think the title will be "Best Woman" then. simple.

If a woman has to step into the role of Best man, she can. Naturally, you wouldn't be oblighed to address her as such. But she's still performing the duties a male would under the same circumstances. My wife's friend stood in for me when it mattered most, and did a great job. It didn't ruin our day in anyway, and it hasn't affected myself and my wife's married life either. It was pretty much a last minute decision, rather than a coordinated plan.

Things are only a big deal, when you choose to let them be.

So why did he not show up?just can't imagine how u felt that day.

Of course, but she wouldn't be called a "best man" though, but a "best woman".

Sure, I agree. But the title says "Using A Woman As Your Best Man." Not how you would address the said woman. Which is exactly what I did, a female played the role of Best Man. I can't make it any clearer.

Oh I was just trying to answer the ops question when he asked;



And what would the title then become?
I wasnt really addressing the topic of the thread. People already helped

him with that part. But If you want my honest opinion, I say a woman can do whatever she wants, she can become the

bestman/bestwoman or simply a bestlady. It doesn't really matter. It's not like it would have any effect on the wedding

process.
