     Is it appropriate  

My brother is my best friend, and I want him to stand up for me in my wedding, is it appropriate for me to have a Man of Honor,

also: Same brother is getting married June of 2005, Our other brothers and my son are in his wedding, his fiancee chose not to include me in the bridal party, against our ethnic and family tradition, ok I am fine with it now, however I am getting married in August of 2007, I feel uneasy about not having her in my bridal party, but part of me feels since I am the only sibling not included in the bridal party/and my brothers best friend we spent alot of time together with our family, and I am not in their wedding that I should not have to include her in mine, not out of spite but lack of desire and closeness, is it wrong of me to not include her in the bridal party.

Dear is it appropriate,

Yes, you may have your brother as your Honor Attendant. There is no gender issues these days. And, just as men are appropriate in traditional woman roles, we now have more choices in other areas. We don't have to follow some of the old rules that just don't make any sense. Some do and are socially acceptable. But, to include someone in your wedding party that you are not close to and don't know well just doesn't make any sense. Yes, it is a nice gesture. But, it really is not necessary. Chose someone you feel close to.

Best wishes,
