    No one, anywhere, ever, should stress about WP symmetry. Period. We had uneven sides--I had 4, DH had 3. No one noticed or cared, especially usually-anal-about-these-things DH and MIL. Retreadbride always asks: Do you really think in 10 years you'll look at your wedding photos and count heads? Or will you look back and be thankful that you had the closest people up there with you, regardless of numbers?

    :) Wedding planning is supposed to be fun, not stressful. Keep in mind that you won't notice 99% of the details and neither will your guests. What makes a wedding perfect is the people who come and the fun you have with them. That was my experience, anyway.

    Jr. bridesmaid=bridesmaid. She does everything the other BMs do: wear a dress, walk down the aisle, stand respectfully during the ceremony, smile for the photos. WPs are NEVER about symmetry. They are about having the people you care most about stand with you during your wedding ceremony. I'm so glad that people are becoming so much smarter about thinking about people and not numbers. Why one earth would having an asymmetrical WP be tacky?

    Tacky would be having or excluding people from the WP just to make numbers even. A Jr BM is still a BM. BM duties: get dress, show up, look pretty, walk down the aisle, smile for pics. If your Jr BM can handle that, spare her the title of junior. If she's a teenager, she's well aware that she is not quite an adult yet, and doesn't need another reminder and she doesn't need a title that makes her feel lower than the rest of the WP.

    for future reference: it's Aisle, not isle.
