If he likes his cat so much, why can't it be the best man instead? Can't he compromise? lol! You know I'm kidding OP. Best of luck trying to stir some maturity and reasoning into your future husband.

Actually you can veto somethings like for instance the Bride picks her own Bridal party and maid of honour while the groom picks his own Groomsmen and best man.

Its not a terrible idea cats are the best

There exists a reply button.

Because he said the cat was going to be OP's maid of honor. OP probably wants to pick her own maid of honor.

I know!

i can think of a thousand way a dog can ruin your marriage. A cat on the other hand... it's purrfect.

TymeTo not try so hard.

It's 2016; we could have the mentally unstable fem demiboy for all we care.

And what if he is being serious? Sure maybe he shouldnt choose her maid of honor but he may be willing to compromise as it being his best man. Id have my puppy be my maid of honor when I get married.

A ring bearer is a better suited role for a pet, but a maid of honor has responsibilities in the wedding. She is supposed to help the bride, sign as a witness, make a toast to the groom, and make sure the bride doesn't go bridezilla if something goes wrong. Plus the maid of honor should be the brides choice. So you are right that pets can be a part of the wedding party (my pup was ring bearer), but his request is ridiculous.

I actually didn't think over a lot of that truthfully, the only weddings I participated in so far was when I was really young so thank you. But yes, wanting the cat as maid of honor is a bad idea, I just don't understand why some people in the comments think wanting an animal to be part of the wedding is ridiculous or immature.
