One of the most stressful parts of the wedding planning process - picking the bridesmaids and groomsmen- might be on the way out. Oftentimes, the selection of the wedding party ends up with hurt feelings and someone getting left out. Now, couples are bucking the bridesmaids and groomsmen trend for a more modern twist which involves "bridesmen", "groomswomen", "males of honour" and "best women". Where traditionally a bride will select a handful of females and a groom will select a handful of men to stand beside them on the altar, now the wedding party is being chosen regardless of gender. One couple who championed the trend recently are Alex and Sara Mazzoni who married in Brisbane in March 2015. Mr. Mazzoni chose to include a groomswoman in his wedding party and explained to the Daily Mail why he made the decision. He said: "It was a pretty easy decision...my best man and two groomsmen were my best mates since high school and my 'groomswoman' would be my sister. "My sister and I are pretty close. I was actually her 'man of honour' a couple of years before and my sister had also grown up knowing my best man and groomsmen very well, so it was the perfect team!" He added that the only "slight" issue arose with the stag party or "buck's night" but that it was solved with a pre-drink beforehand. His wife Sara added: "I love when couples break the rules and find fun and authentic ways to celebrate the start of their marriage. I think it's definitely the new normal for weddings - you should be able to share the day with your nearest and dearest by your side, no matter if they're a man or a woman." They are certainly not the only ones, as many others are following suit.

Yesterday, I was hypothetically asked if I would stand as a groomswoman at one of my best guy friend's wedding. I said HELL YES.

When your oldest friends are 4 guys, you occasionally get to fill the unique role of pregnant groomswoman. #MyBoys #WeddingDay #NoTuxForMe

What do you think? Do you like the idea of a mixed bridal party or would you stick to tradition?
