I have four friends I really wanted to include in my wedding party. I'm an only child so no siblings. My fiance has 4 guys including his brother but he also has a sister that we decided to ask. Now we're 5 girls and 4 guys and he doesn't have another close friend he really wants to invite. If he asked a 5th person it would just be to even out the numbers, not asking someone he's particularly close to to share in our day (not that he doesn't have friends, but we both want to keep the weding party to people who are really special to us and not have a parade of people walking down the aisle). If anything, I have a 5th friend that I'd have asked if I could have, but then we'd be 6 and 4.
Is it OK to have an odd number and pair a guy with 2 girls to exit the church? Or, would we be better off with 2 girls walking out together and then 4 guy/girl partners? OR, should my fiance just ask a random friend...? I lean towards the 2 girls with one guy option, keeping the party small with our original group of closest friends/family, but my future MIL already mentioned that she thinks that's awkward... My mom didn't think twice about it and said do whatever. Does MIL just want her son to get more people?? We are already including the sister!
Thoughts?

<strong>That would be fine too, it's your call.</strong>

<strong>NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!</strong>
