When you got married...

Did you have all the grooms men standing with the groom, or did they walk up with the bridesmaids? We are having uneven sides, and I've seen both ways.

Re: When you got married...

  • Ours stood with Mr. P and they walked down with Mr. P.  The BMs walked by themselves.
  • We had just an MOH and best man.  They walked up together (they are married, so I thought it would be cute).
  • My husband, Best man, his sister, GM, and officiant walked down some stairs from the front of the room. My MOH, and BM walked from the back of the room in single file.Then the ring bearer, and my 3 flower girls in single file.Then me and my dad.
  • They walked down together.

  • We had uneven sides, and had the groomsmen standing at the front and the bridesmaids walking down alone.

  • Our bridal party all came in single file, and then they left together. It was boy/girl. My FIL (the Best Man) stood with my husband, and escorted my MOH out.
  • The groomsmen filed in from the back with the groom and the Priest. The girls walked in by themselves. We were extremely uneven... 8 on the girls side and 4 on the guys side...
  • I'm pretty sure ours are going to walk together.  Two of my BM's are married to two of his GM's and we planned for them to walk together.  If it ends up being uneven (because one of my BM's may not be able to come), then someone will just walk alone.
  • Ours stood up the front with Mike while he waited for me to walk down the aisle. That was the way the church did things so we didn't have much of a choice. Looking back on it I am really glad they did it that way. I love the idea of all his guys standing up there with him and supporting him. The pics are great too.
  • Oh another question- did you have the groom already up there, or was he walked up, I've also seen both.

  • Groomsmen walked in with the bridesmaids.At one point, we were going to have the BM stand with the groom, so it would have been uneven. We were going to have one GM escort two bridesmaids down. He thinks he's a lady's man (he's not) so we would have found it to be funny.

  • Our GM were also our ushers. The Pastor, DH and BM walked up to the alter, and then the GM walked up and joined them. Once they were in place we started the processional. HTH

  • Groom up front.  GMs walked up with the BMs (BMs had to walk on grass, so they wanted someone to hold onto, and they didn't want to be the center of attention)
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!

  • They stood up there with J and the ladies walked out individually. We had 2 dudes (aside from J) and 3 ladies (aside from me).They way our venue was set up there wasn't really an aisle, but had there been, we would've done MOH & Best Man, then 2 BMs w/1 GM.
  • I'm Jewish and the ex- was Catholic. We could have done it any way we wanted, but chose to walk in "Jewish-style" just because we both thought it was nicer for everyone to be able to walk. We did: groom and his parents BMs and groomsmen in pairs flower girl and ring bearer bride with her parents We had one more male than female, so we had one woman with walk with two men.
  • DH walked his mother down the isle, to her seat. It was really sweet.

  • We had uneven sides, and they walked in separate.
  • Heh. Unintentional rhyme there.

  • We were short one BM so the groom walked down the aisle with the best man (his cousin), MOH walked down with GM2, and BM walked down with GM3.  It worked out for us really well.

  • We just had a MOH and best man. He was up there with my husband the whole time. For the processional, the MOH and best man walked together.
  • The bridesmaids walked singly and the best man did not walk. The bridesmaids waited until I reached the altar and then they sat down. So no one was standing with us during the actual ceremony. But they were close - in the first pews - so it was easy for the best man to bring up the rings and for one of the bridesmaids to fix my train after we moved around, etc. It was a Catholic mass, so the priest had us all over the church ;) In our case, it didn't matter in the least that we had uneven sides since they all sat down. If they had stood with us, however, I still would not have cared about the uneven sides.
