By now I hope everyone has had a chance to visit our Wedding Party page and read all about our fabulous attendants. I’m sure some of you in scanning that list you saw Tyler Hanberg under Mary’s attendants and thought…wah? A male attendant in the bridal party? This can’t be! Well believe it.While this might not be the most common way of doing things, it is common enough that ehow.com wrote and article about it. They go step-by-step on how to involve the male attendant.One thing that is a little disappointing about the article, is that it is written in a manner that have a male attendant is crazy or something. It seems to me that at your wedding you should be able to do whatever you want. And if having a male attendant in the bridal party makes some people uncomfortable, well that’s just stupid. Beyond asking the attendant if he is comfortable being on the bride’s side – who else do you really need to involve? Nobody.

Hi, I found your website randomly and saw this entry so I thought I would comment. I did it at my wedding, and people seemed to think it was funny.. but, they also understood as the guy was a very good friend of mine. We called him the ‘bridesman.”
I say go for it, it’s not that big of a deal!
Do what makes you happy.
