hi all sorry if this is in the wrong place but not too sure where to put it.
Basically what is the difference between maid of honor and matron of honor?
I want my closest cousin (she is like a sister to me) to be my maid of honor and my family are all up in arms as she is not married yet, but i thought maid of honor was unmarried and matron of honor was married. I am so confused
So can i have a maid/matron of honor if they are not married? and which title would you give them if you were/are in my situation?

i would call my unmarried sister my maid of honor, i guess you could use chief bridesmaid?

The tradition behind it though is that they have been through the process before so can support you with it all.
