2 Bridesmaids no Groomsmen?

roquewedding

My fiance doesn't know who to pick or if he even wants anyone. He said he doesn't feel that close to any of his male friends. I'd like to have my 2 bffs that I've known since the 5th grade in my wedding. One as MOH and the other as a bridesmaid.

It's a destination wedding so I'd like to tell everyone that I'd like to be in the wedding party asap so they can plan accordingly but my fiance is kind of holding me up. What should I do? I don't want him to feel forced to have groomsmen but he does have really great friends that he's known for years even though he doesn't ask any of them for advice. And I'd like him to have a group plan his bachelor party etc.

Having uneven sides are fine, even drastically uneven sides. Have your two girls and he can have none. If he doesn't want anyone on his side, he doesn't have to. Don't worry about his Bach party. His friends might still throw him one and if they don't then that's his issue and has NOTHING to do with you.

My husband had his brother and best friend as groomsmen and I chose to have no bridesmaids, not even any of my siblings.  Not a big deal.

Even if he has groomsmen, it's no guarantee that he'll have a bachelor party, because they're not required to plan one.  You pick your side, and he picks (or doesn't pick) his.  You can sort out the details like processional and where to stand at the ceremony later, those ultimately aren't important.

It's totally fine to have uneven sides, 8 groomsmen, no groomsmen, etc! I'm having my best friend as my MOH, my sister as my bridesmaid and my two younger brothers as bridesmen and my FI is having 6 groomsmen. He shouldn't pick anyone just for evenness' sake. If he doesn't feel close enough to have anyone in the wedding, he shouldn't feel he has to! It will be a beautiful wedding regardless!
