I suppose this is my fault for asking friends to stand up in the wedding so soon. The FI only wants 5 groomsmen and his son (who will only be 10 when we get married, so I wasn't sure about having him walk down the aisle with one of my girls) standing up in the wedding. I told him I have 6 girls that I MUST have stand up. I didn't think having one odd girl out would be that big of an issue for the ceremony because I've seen it before. Here's where the issue lies. I have a cousin who I've been pretty close with my entire life. I wasn't going to ask her to stand up at first because she has 3 kids ages 3 and under, and I felt like at some point standing up in a wedding would be more of an inconvenience than anything, especially because I was going to have her son & daughter be the ring bearer and flower girl. The more I think about it the more I want to ask her. The FI is dead set on only having 5 guys and I wouldn't make him ask two more just for the sake of asking them. Would it be odd to have two girls walk down the aisle without groomsmen? Or would it be ok to have my 10-year-old future step son walk down the aisle with one of my girls & then only have one girl walk alone?? I know that I have a lot of time to figure this out but it's been eating at my all day, I need some knottie support =(

    We have odd numbers too!  Its not a big deal.  You can have them do whatever you want.  My girls are walking down by themselves.  The GM are walking in and will be standing up front with FI and the deacon.

    Apparently odd numbers in WP are not weird.  I'm thinking of having TWO MOH's and he may not have anyone!

    I had 9 and he had 7.  I just had 2 girls walk with 1 guy, so two of the "couples" were realy triples.  No big deal at all.

    the sides don't have to match.  It's about who you want up there with you.

    Uneven sides are no big deal.  You should ask who you want, he should ask who he wants, and those that are able to will be the ones standing up with you.  It's nice and simple :)

    Also, just a suggestion but you may want to re-consider having a RB and FG under the age of 3 in your wedding.  At that age they aren't even able to form a memory out of the day.  It also can be very overwhelming for even the most outgoing toddler to have all of those people staring at them, plus photographers taking pictures.  It just can be very stressful for young children.
