my FI only really wants to have a best man, and MAYBE a cousin as a groomsmen. I have 3 girls on my side as of now- my sister as my MOH and 2 very close friends. I was planning on also asking 2 other friends that I have known  for a long time but I am concerned not with symmetry but that it will look more about like its all about me and not about us- if that makes any sense. I have asked my FI about it and he says he doesn't care how many bridesmaids I have.  If he just has a best man and i have 5 girls is that completely obnoxious?

    Your concern is admirable, but don't worry too much about it.  The only time I've ever given any thought to a number of bridesmaids is when there's like twelve or something.  Five on one side and one or two on the other is totally fine.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Obnoxious?  Not in the least!

    I'm not sure why it would be obnoxious.  You'll have the WP you want, and he'll have the WP he wants.  Isn't that the only thing that matters?

    I think it would be fine.  We had 4/2, but it was almost 4/1 there for a minute.  (My idiot BIL got arrested.) 

    Most of your guests will know who at least some of those people are, and will know the two of you.  It's not like you're having your whole sorority up there with you.

    as long as you are surrounded by people you love, it doesn't matter if the sides are uneven... he's not asking you to turn your back on your friends because he doesn't have 3 others to stand up with him. 

    Much better to have uneven sides then to leave out a dear friend.
