Wedding Party pairings?

[Deleted User] · April 2011

My MOH and Best Man are not dating. The thing of it is, we have another GM in the wedding who is dating my MOH. Do the MOH and her boyfriend walk together or does she walk with the Best Man? (Her and her boyfriend have been dating 3 years now)

IMO. usually the best man and MOH walk tog!!! No matter what!!! But u could just have ur moh walk by herself and meet the best man at the front so she doesn't feel awkward!!!

The MOH and best man usually walk together. I don't think it's a big deal at all. Both our honor attendants will have SO's (and the MOH will be married!) and no one thinks anything of it. Escorting someone down the aisle usually just means she takes his arm. It's not like they have to hold hands or anything. So I would just pair them up together.

Best Man and MOH usually walk together. You don't HAVE to do it this way if you don't want to, but that's traditionally the way it goes.

Now if you have a groomsman and a bridesmaid who are a couple, it's pretty silly to pair them with other people just for the sake of height or something like that.

For the reception, let everyone sit with their own date, and don't do a bridal party dance (or if you really want one, have everyone dance with their own date, not with their walking partner).

Thank you for all the awesome responses

!! I was just curious because I know I'm having my FSIL and her husband walk together but I wasn't sure if it would matter if my MOH and her bf walked together instead of her and the Best Man

I feel relieved now

Thank you!!

My MOH is dating a GM and the Best Man is dating one of my BM. They walk with whom we put them with. No biggie! We are doing a fast song for the bridal party so that no one has to slow dance with someone else. Makes it more fun anyway!

As PPs said, BM and MOH traditionally walk together. But if she wants to walk with her BF, I'd let her. It's not a big deal.

I've tried to pair our wedding party with people that they will know or get along with, but I doubt any of them care.

I think walking down the aisle is fine, but is your MUST have a WP dance. (Which is a whole other issue, DON"T DO IT.) I would let the couples at least dance with each other. Nobody is going to notice that they switched partners.

My MOH is actually engaged to our officiant. At this point we think that we will have uneven sides (one GM may not be able to come.) So we were thinking that maybe during the recessional the officiant could escort the MOH out. Cause who really cares when we are leaving.

My point is, it doesn't matter either way. Its okay to pair the MOH and BM for walking and its okay to mix it up and put the couples together.

My MOH and Best Man sort of have a love-hate relationship, if that makes sense? They love to pick on each other. When I mentioned the dancing, the Best man freaked out. haha. Anyway to destress him about it?

Yes. Don't make them dance.

I was the MOH in a wedding. My FI (at the time boyfriend) was in the wedding to. We didn't walk together.

Yes, Don't make them dance. Please.

I am the same "problem" right now. My brother his a groomsmen and his girlfriend is a Bridesmaid. However, I think I'm going to make her my MOH but still let them walk together and just have the BM walk with a bridesmaid and then have them line up correctly at the alter.

Also, I'm skipping the bridal party dance. I think it's corny (just my opinion)... instead, about half way through our 1st dance, we're thinking of inviting all married couples to the dance floor. Not sure yet.... but I just think bridal party slow dances are silly and awkward for some!

Its only a 30second walk down the aisle... it wont kill them to not be matched up with their date

Its normal for the WP to not be paired up with their date, as most of the time the other is not in the WP. if they feel uncomfortable, skip the bridal party dance.. or let them dance with someone of their choosing and not the person they walked with.
