To not have a maid of honour?

Is it wrong/odd to have bridesmaids, but no maid/matron of honour for your wedding?

I've asked five of my friends to be bridesmaids (I know, that's probably a lot): best friend since we were at school, best friend from uni, flat mate from uni, "corridor buddy" from work, and the best man's wife who I've grown close with since we both started dating our other halves years ago. I'm close with all of these women, although have different relationships with all of them based on how we know each other.

Would it be wrong of me to not choose one of them to be a maid of honour, though? I don't have a desperate need for one, as I'm not having a hen do, and there's no obligation for them to do anything besides turn up on the day, and to choose a dress which roughly matches the colour scheme. I just don't think I like the idea of choosing one of them "over the others" in some way, as I think they're all brilliant, and I know them all so differently. It's not like we're all part of the same big friendship group, IYSWIM?

Will it be weird if I don't choose a maid of honour?

Nope! I had 3 adult bridesmaids and they split the roles up between them, I didn't want to have to pick!

I'm just having my sister and my DD as bridesmaid and flower girl :) friends as witnesses.
