Uneven wedding parties walking down the aisle

Hi all,

I used to have even sides, but one of my bridesmaids opted out because she is out of state and pregnant and thinks she won't be comfortable. I am totally fine with that as I wouldn't want her to be uncomfortable. My future husband however, is worried about the unevenness of the party now...I am not sure what to do..he doesn't want to do single file..so I am trying to think of other options....I was thinking that the 1 groomsman could walk with my future husband's grandmother, but we are not even sure she is coming as she tried to back out of her granddaughter's wedding but ended up going at the last minute. What is your opinion of one of my maids being escorted by 2 guys? Thoughts?

No one cares about uneven sides, so you and FH shouldn't either.

Two men escorting one lady is totally fine. It seriously won't matter.

Ditto PDKH. It's perfectly fine for someone to be escorted by 2 people. To be perfectly honest, the only wedding I even remember how the bridal party walked was my own and one that I was in. All the others, frankly, as a guest, I don't even notice that sort of thing.

yeah my moh dropped out and I don't have even sides either I thinking of asking somebody else but I didn't want to have just anybody fill that spot so I am either going to have  two guys walk back up the aisle one girl or just have one guy walk up the aisle or even have somebody walk back up with the ring bear. The focus is going to be on you and your fiancé not anything else so who really cares

I just wanted to add that I will have even sides.  My brother will be on my FI side and we are going to have him escort my mother if she wants. If she doesn't he will probably walk by himself.

Uneven sides is fine.  Some options include:

- The single GM walking in with another honored family member (grnadma, your mom if dad is walking you down the aisle, etc)

- The single GM doubling up with another GM and one BM.

- The single GM just walking in alone.  (sorry to your FI, but it doesn't really matter)

You can also do a combination of these things, as in he escorts a family member in and then leaves on his own.

We have uneven sides (I have one extra BM) and I will probably have them all walk in one at a time. BM, GM, BM, GM etc. Walking out they will walk as pairs and the last guy will escort 2 ladies. 

No biggie!
