I have two Maids of Honor in my wedding. My twin and our best friend since we were 11 will both be standing by my side helping me celebrate this momentous occasion.

However, my twin is divorced and our best friend is a wife and mother. And both of them HATE the term “matron” and have asked me to find another way to refer to them. (I’m not even sure if we would refer to my twin as a “matron” though. GAH!)

Now, I’m a pretty easy-going bride, and have a serious sense of humor, as do most of our friends and family. My twin and our friend have suggested that I refer to them as the “Chicks of Honor” that day, as I commonly throw the term “chick” around on a regular basis when talking about women (not meaning it in any kind of derogatory way, mind you…just a habit for some reason), and they think it’d be a fine way to refer to them in the program, and when the DJ refers to them for the speech, etc, etc…

I don’t know, though…I have a feeling we might inadvertantly offend some, since the term “chick” can be seen as derogatory by some.

So I’m basically looking for creative and fun terms to refer to my sister and our friend by in the programs and throughout the wedding day. I considered putting them down as “Best Friends of the Bride,” but I don’t want my other bridesmaids, who I feel particularly close to, to feel like they aren’t also considered to be very good friends when, in fact, they are.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
