Can I have my married friend as a bridesmaid in the wedding?

Maid of Honor: Must Married Bridesmaid Be Matron of Honor? More

I have a maid of honor (my sister) and six bridesmaids. I want my sister to be the maid of honor, but one of my bridesmaids came up to me and said that she was surprised that I didn't ask her to be my matron of honor. She told me that a matron of honor was a member of the wedding party that is married. I have learned that it is only *one* person: maid of honor if you're single, matron of honor if you're married. What should I do? I don't want any hurt feelings, but I only want one wedding honor attendant, and that's my sister.

Move over Kristen Wiig. Just like in the movies, professional bridesmaids are available for hiring in real life, minus the drama.
