[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So, at a wedding, when the groom chooses a female attendant, which is a better way to refer to her: groomsmaid or groomswoman? Just curious as it came up in another forum, and I can't make up my mind which I like better.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Our wedding had mixed attendants, and IIRC we just called them attendants (except for the matron of honor and best man, and I think we may have called my brother's husband, the only boy on the bride's side, the stud).

But of the choices on offer, I'd prefer groomswoman, as woman is a nice neutral descriptor for a grown-up female person, whereas maid is a little less neutral and has more ick potential.

I was my sister's Best Woman. Which was nice. She also had bridesmaids, though.

Back in the late '80s, I had a coworker who had her best (male) friend as her main attendee; they called him the Dude of Honor.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Wait, what are the male attendants called, traditionally (on the groom's side)? My mind has gone totally blank.

Oh my god, I was drawing a total blank! (Yes, despite the use just a few posts above of "groomsmaid" and "groomswoman.") I need more caffeine.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
