Who is your Matron/Maid of Honor/Best Man and why?

I wanted to post a positive, upbeat question, instead of some of the frustrated, whining or complaining questions we sometimes see on here.

So, for this question: Share who you chose as your right hand person for your wedding..(NO full names, just first name and relationship to you IE: Best friend, brother, cousin) and why did you choose them to stand up by you when you marry?

My Matron of Honor Angela is my best friend of 4 years. She and I have been through breakups, makeups, deaths, divorces, panicked midnight phone calls, drunken arguments and every girl problem imaginable. She moved out of state a few years ago, but we have remained close and talk almost every day, and we see each other about twice a year. There is no other person in this world that I would want as my Matron of Honor. I picked out my wedding dress with her, on my last visit to her home…and flew home with my gown in my luggage. And…she custom made my veil/headpiece.

What about you?

How can one avoid being dumped like this?

I’m trying to gain some insight into the following situation.
Most marriages are based on love and trust. But what if one’s partner loses interest in remaining married and proceeds in a cold and calculating fashion to dissolve the marriage?

I got a call from my best friend. He had a sad tale to tell. He was dumbfounded as to the reason but his wife of 12 years had returned from hospital one day and broken the bad news to him:"I’m leaving you today". The words were like a dagger in his side. "Why?", he asked in total shock and disbelief. "I don’t love you anymore", she told him. Now before u go thinking this is an extract from a Mills and Boone novel, let me assure you this was a real life event. There were 2 children involved and my friends were both under 35 yrs old. All the years I had visited that family I had never seen the cracks forming, never suspected anything was amiss. Surprisingly, I subsequently discovered a few more cases of women, ‘falling out of love’ and then secretly preparing for the opportune moment to drop the bombshell. The husbands had no inkling of their spouses duplicity. Meanwhile the wives visited lawyers in secret for advice on how to leave the marriage with the maximum advantage to themselves! In the case I mentioned the estranged wife left home and hooked up with another man soon after.

The questions I am asking is why does a woman behave in this fashion and how does a man see it coming? Are you aware of a similar case as the one outlined?

How does it work to have 2 maid of honors and a matron of honor?

I have 2 bestfriends who are so dear to me…they would take the clothes off their back for me. 1 is married & 1 is single…& i also have a younger sister who of course is my blood & i love to death. My sistuation is I want 2 maid of honors which would be my single best friend & my sis & then a matron of honor who is my married best friend. How does that work when it comes to the grooms side? Should he have 3 best man? plus the groomsmen with the bridesmaid i am so confused…is this just too much & too silly? I know it sounds ridiculous but has anyone been in this situation? My family sees it right for my sister to be the maid of honor & then just have my married best friend to be the matron of honor…but the truth is my single friend is the one who has really been there through all of it, throught the breakups & makeups of all my relationships. My married best friend lives states away so we just talk by phone here & there but i always know she has my back..she got married in court
I would rather my sister as a bridesmaids rather than my maid of honor..so i am still in a bad situation..because it would upset everyone if my sister was a bridesmaid and i would feel bad
so far i like the way missygold is thinking
