I often hear elders say that people who get married cannot be bridesmaids, but many people don't know the reason. Bridesmaids are important members of a wedding, and accompanying the bride through the entire wedding process can be quite challenging. So why can't married people be bridesmaids? There are two main reasons:
1、 Why can't married people be bridesmaids
1. It's difficult to choose a groomsman
If a married woman is chosen as the bridesmaid, the first person who comes to mind as the best man is her husband, but her husband may not be able to come to the wedding venue due to unforeseen circumstances, which can be somewhat awkward. From this perspective, the selection of groomsmen has been restricted. If you choose other men as groomsmen, as a married woman, you may feel embarrassed.
2. Local customs and regulations
Wedding customs vary in different regions, and the requirements for bridesmaids naturally differ. It is necessary to make choices according to local customs. Especially for the elders in the family, they attach great importance to some traditional concepts. If they mind, they should not choose married women as bridesmaids to avoid making them unhappy, after all, marriage is a happy thing.
2、 Do we have to have groomsmen and bridesmaids for marriage
Whether there must be a groomsman and bridesmaid for marriage depends on the local customs and habits.
The customs for groomsmen and bridesmaids vary in different places. In some places, there must be a bridesmaid and a groomsman, and the presence of groomsmen and bridesmaids is necessary for weddings, wedding ceremonies, and bridal processions. Moreover, groomsmen and bridesmaids are also responsible for some aspects of the wedding; But in some places, there are no regulations for groomsmen and bridesmaids, and they are optional.
Traditional Chinese weddings generally do not require bridesmaids and groomsmen, but in modern and Western weddings, groomsmen and bridesmaids play a very important role. Therefore, whether or not to have groomsmen and bridesmaids for marriage can be determined by local customs and wedding forms.
