I didn't know we needed our husbands' permission to choose who will be our chief bride's maid or when we can do same for someone else.

Umu nwanyi a tagbu go onwe ha na afufu!

DailyNews: To the best of my knowledge, it is very wrong for a married man to be a groom's bestman and wrong for a married woman to be a bride's bridesmaid.

Because some people do or did it doesn't make it right.

And if I am getting married, my bride dare not try to bring her married friends to be her bridesmaid or on her bridal train, NEVER! If she doesn't have any single friend or pal, then it should be vacant!

Reasons:
If he/she is having marital issues, he/she would transfer it to the newly married couple (its a myth though), but that's y single people are best choices for those two positions.

And again its main purpose is to encourage the bestman and the bridesmaid to also do same- marry, ask elderly people who have unbiased knowledge.

I can never agree to be a bestman to anyone the moment I am married myself cos its wrong, and its like thinking backward and wishing yourself single again, which is not right.

Some things are not good to practice even though it may not seem bad to us, but follow the norm to avoid any unknown or underlying repercussion.

You have passed that stage, so let it go and watch singles do their thing while u smile in reminiscence.

Chillisauce: @dailynews, all these conditions for your bride. I pity her. That day is supposed to be for her, and the last time I checked she can make her own decision.

Don't be surprised, na she go even give you conditions tire for that day.

Typical Naija man! " my bride dare not....."

Chai. God help us.

You are a twin? interesting!!

Its your personal choice @op
We Africans attach too much sentiment to issues.

I believe it's all a thing of the mind.

ritux: This topic made me remember an incident that happened in one of this new modern churches during solemnization. It is either redeem or winners....can't remember exactly. My sisters husband was the best man to the groom. During the sermon, the pastor started prophesying to him that he sees him getting married very soon before the end of the year.

Menh....you need to see the funny smile and laugh that was on the faces of those that knew he was married.

DailyNews: ^Hi Chilli, I said and I quote: “...to the best of my knowledge, it is very wrong...” I hope u missed that

We all have learned something about life based on our locations, background, upbringing, exposure and belief, and u don't expect me to twist my words or opinion to suit what u and others may want to hear/read just cos I am online...nope dear...so don't murder my opinion just cos it isn't in-line with yours.

I like u!
I gave the threadstarter my own opinion, and I stand by it.

And I also repeat: my bride dare not try or let me say: dare not bring her married friends to be her bridesmaid. If she doesn't have a single friend that suits that position, then bingo! And I won't bring a married friend or relation to be my bestman and will never be one once I am married.

Have a lovely weekend
