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.


What? Pls tell me this is a joke. I honestly don't understand the logic behind your point. I think Nigerians need a lesson on the purpose of a bridesmaid or groomsman.

Oyinbo people wey teach us no teach well. This is the result.

Irenenoble: I think since the word 'maid' is present,married women shuld stay clear.The fact that the person would be a bride's maid makes the position unsuitable for a married woman

And there aren't married women who do housemaid duties for families So because someone is married, being a maid is taboo?

I think the silliest comments so far on this topic are the ones where some folks are saying a married bridesmaid is preventing singles from getting husbands? ( or some such blah).




The purpose of having a bridal train is to find husbands for people? Or so people can hook up?

Sorry, i didnt know that, maybe i'm out of touch.

when throwing the bouquet, whoever needs husband are the ones who should line up, the most desperate among them can push the other ones out of the way so she will be the one to catch the flowers.

and since divorce is also expected by most of today's generation, whoever needs a new husband can also struggle to catch flowers with the other ladies.

Nobody said its compulsory for everyone on the bridal train to catch bouquet on that day. I don't remember bothering to even catch it even wen I was single.
Who cares bout the bouquet?

You are free to make your choice but a married woman being a bridesmaid doesn't look proper if you ask me. It looks like a married man in a bachelor's eve. Madam, please leave the unmarried ones to enjoy themselves. You don do your own pass. Wetin you dey find? Please step aside.

^its the bride's day, dear.

you're supposed to be celebrating the lady getting married, not fighting over male attention and begrudging those who you imagine are diverting the men's attention away from you?

do you think your attitude is attractive?
Re: Should A Married Woman Be A Bridesmaid? by Bluvs2rock(f): 4:30am On Oct 20, 2013
The train is for the people dearest to you wether married or single, afterall, there's a provision for a matron of honour. In the end, it's about what makes you happy.

millenni: Is it okay or wrong for a married woman to be a bride's maid?? pls kindly state ur reasons.

There are no rights or wrongs here, neither are there any hard and fast rules that must be strictly adhered to.

It all boils down to personal choice. Do what you're most comfortable with - it's your big day afterall! smiley

davdandam: Dagrin:ki lo kan eni tati gbe ni iyawo kan weddin gown grin

Do you know the meaning of that line? Some people dont even know why Dagrin said it.

Remember he started with ''Emi ni Best but e fe fun mi ni Crown''?

Hence he meant ''I am the best. I dont need your crown to make me the best''
