Matron of Honor Question

I'm having a maid of honor, bridesmaid, and matron of honor. Does my Matron get a GM? Does her hubby have to be GM? I don't think there's any regulations but I want to make sure.

    Yes, she gets one of the groomsmen. Is he having to best men? If so, I would just put one with the maid of honor and one with the matron of honor.

    wedding parties don't have to be even.  the maid and matron of honor get escorted by the best men and the bridesmaid is perfectly fine walking by herself or with the FG and/or RB if you're having them

    If he is having 2 guys and you have 3 ladies, then 1 guy either takes 2 ladies or like the other girls said, she can walk by herself or with a RB. I think with the RB would be cute, but that is just my opinion. Her husband shouldn't do it unless he is one of the best men or people are going to think he is in the wedding party.

    All I could think of when I read your post was "Is it a contest where the MOH wins a GM?"

    I think you're asking if MOH needs to be paired up with someone.  Her DH doesn't have to be included in the WP unless your FI wants him there.

    You choose your side, your FI chooses his side.  Symmetry and/or gender don't play into the decision.

    After you both have chosen your WP, then on the night of the rehearsal, you can figure out how to get them in and out of your ceremony.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    No, she doesn't "get" a groomsman, and no, her husband shouldn't be a GM (unless he's one of your FI's closest friends.)

    WPs are an opportunity to honor your closest friends, not so that you can have a perfect chorus line.  If he has 2 and you have 3, one guy will walk two ladies, or one lady can walk alone.

    As the other ladies said, have one GM walk two woman or one woman walk alone.  I personally like the idea of having one GM walk two BM's.  For the dances, if the BM has a husband he could dance with her.  If not have the MOH's husband.
