Weddings are as unique as the couples tying the knot, but some go beyond personal touches—they challenge tradition in the best way possible.
Meet Raymond and Bella, a couple whose wedding is taking the internet by storm for all the right reasons. Instead of sticking to the usual “maid of honor” and “best man” titles, they flipped the script—and people can’t get enough.
Their story blew up after Raymond’s cousin, Carla Wehbe, shared a now-viral TikTok video. In the clip, the couple’s siblings stand proudly by their sides, not just as family but as their closest friends.

Raymond’s sister rocked a sleek black dress, perfectly complementing the groomsmen’s tuxedos. Her title? “Maid of Best Man.” Meanwhile, Bella’s brother stunned in a pink suit that matched the bridesmaids’ dresses, taking on the role of “Man of Honor.”
The reason? Simple. “Their siblings were their best friends, and they wanted them by their side on their special day,” Carla explained in an interview with Newsweek. “I loved the idea and thought it made the day really special.”
Turns out, millions of people agree. The video has racked up a jaw-dropping 65 million views since its October 4 upload, sparking waves of admiration and stories from others who’ve broken wedding norms.
“This needs to be done more often!” one user gushed. Others shared personal anecdotes, like one person who reminisced, “My dad did something similar—his best friend was his ‘best woman,’ and my big brother was his and his wife’s ‘man of honor.’ I loved it!”
Of course, not everyone was on board. Some critics grumbled about straying from tradition, but the overwhelming response was pure love and support.
Carla summed it up perfectly: “Weddings should be about what makes the couple happy.”
And as more couples like Raymond and Bella follow their hearts instead of outdated rules, one thing is clear—love should always take center stage, no matter how you choose to celebrate it.
