Dear Queenie,
I’ve been asked to be maid of honor at a friend’s wedding but my husband doesn’t want me to do it because he says it’s wrong for a married woman to be a maid of honor and besides it would mean I would be walked down the aisle by the best man and have my picture taken with him.
Queenie, should I listen to him or do it anyway?—Undecided
Dear Undecided,
Your husband is totally mistaken about it being wrong for a married woman to be a maid of honour at a wedding, although the term for such a situation probably should be “matron” of honour.
As for your walking down the aisle and being photographed with the best man, so what? The whole event will be so public that no one could possibly think any hanky-panky was going on and anyway, he will be right there to see everything
