If you were going to have a man as your “matron of honour”…

[CurlewKate]

what would you call him?

His name

Best Man.

“Man of honour”?? Or Best Man and just have two of them, assuming the groom has a best man as well.

Frank.

Man of honour

Dave.

Ron.

Your brother?

Man of honour, best man implies the man's person.

But I think it depends on roles, but either is fine.

Yeah-she thought about best man-but was hoping to think of something different.

Majordomo

Bachelor of the Bride

Man of honour is what seems to be used the most but I’ve seen mate of honour a couple of times too.

We had a best woman.
Man of Honour has a nice ring

Chief Bridesman.

Man of honour is most often used and surely appropriate as he's a man not a woman?

We had a best woman at our wedding and I’ve just remembered when DH was part of her wedding party he was called the homme d’honneur despite none of us being French LOL

Mate of honour

We just leant into it when my best friend got married. I was referred to as her maid of honour throughout.

I did however renege on the drunken promise I once made to wear a very pretty dress.

What about guest of honour, I know someone who had this for a woman, who I think just didn't want to be called a maid or matron.

Surely Patron of Honour if you must use something in this context.

I never refer to anyone as Patron but then I never use Matron unless I’m in a carry on film.

We are watching Carry on Cleo right now

He’s now very keen on being an “homme d’honneur”….
