On Etiquette
Sunday, February 20th, 2005 02:28 amOut of curiosity, in planning a wedding:
The groom's best friend is a woman, the bride's best friend is a man. Who gets to be the best man and who gets to be the maid of honor? And if the woman is on the groom's side and the man on the bride's side, what are the proper titles? Best woman and lad of honor?
A drag queen is a mutual friend of the couple. On which side does he stand, and what's the proper attire?
It's not that I'm concerned about following etiquette (or that I'm planning a wedding). It's just that I like to know when I'm violating social norms.
