Being married or not is unrelated to being a bridesmaid.Its is a personal decision

Technically, there is nothing wrong with that but its always better for a single chic to do.

maryhaam: I think d whole essence of d bridemaid n train is for single to mingle...........my thinkin thou

to the best of my knowledge, I do not think so. If I am having bridesmaids just so they can mingle with other singles then they might as well sit their behinds down in the crowd and mingle all they want. After all, plenty single people full d wedding abi no be so?

From what I know, the BMs and MoH are supposed to tend to the bride on this day and even before playing support roles. They assist in some preparations, help dress the bride, and literally be there for her throughout the whole process. If I wan chop, na my bridesmaid I go ask for food. In fact, they are my errand girls for that time period. It will be duly reciprocated of course. If you know you are not ready to do that, pls find your way and sit in the crowd. They are not called "maids" for nothing. lol. Everything is done out of love anyway. So if they are married, it does not mean cannot function in that role.


Although, traditionally, BMs and MsoH were single, we all know that tradition is always evolving and is never constant.

It is not wrIte and makes it so wrong to use a married person either man or woman. I have some reasons why the intending couples should not allow it but I will only share one point why married person should not accept to be a bridesmaid. It is absoluitely downgrading for a married person and can unknowingly lead to some negative situations like stagnnation or backwardness. As regards the law aspect I want to emphasize it that there is no law prohibiting it. Like other people have said its your choice but it is wrong. Regards

Excuse me, did you say downgrading?? How? Please explain as I am not sure I completely understand your point. How can it also lead to backwardness or "stagnation" (what do you mean by this anyway?)?

What do you call the ladies (women) that accompany the bride during the "traditional" marriage?


Oh, lest I forget, what exactly is this Nigerian culture?

For anything that has to do with coming to a bride's aid, the single ladies has to be called upon. A married woman shouldn't dare be the bride's maid.

I don't think the husband should have a say on that aspect of the ceremony. It is the bride's decision that counts when it comes to bride's maids

The Question Should be What is Even the Need For the Bridal Chain. I thought the essence was for Single Ladies To get Attraction from the Guest(Single Men). The Married ones go Spoil Runs!
Re: Should A Married Woman Be A Bridesmaid? by Xano(m): 11:05pm On Oct 18, 2013
Bridesmaid, married? Why? Bridesmaid is for single(and expectant bride). Its odd to see a married bridesmaid.

Ladies use every opportunity to look for husband these days. Bridesmaid and bridal train to look for husband. My igbo sisters go home christmas and easter to look for husband. Even birthday party to look for husband.
Yet, year in, year out, u still see them single.
