No Groomsmen!

soulkimmy

I'm having a small wedding of about 60 people. I asked my sister to be my MOH and my aunt to be my bridesmaid. My fiance unfortunately does not have any male role models in his life and he doesnt have anyone to be his best man or his groomsmen. Sould I just not have a MOH or birdes maids at me wedding since he will not have amyone standing with him? I think it might look strange with people only standing on one side.

It doesn't matter if it looks strange...your WP is about those that love and support you.

If you are concerned about looks THAT much has one girl stand on each side. Problem solved. OR have your man make some guy friends. I sure he could use a guys night out!

If you have already asked them to be BM's, don't ask anyone to step down now. And besides, your FI should be happy that you have two great people to stand up for you.

If your FI's father is an option as a GM, then maybe he could ask him. I have seen many father's also be GM or a best man. He doesn't have any uncles, cousins or friends from college he is close with?

That's fine. If he has a sister or female friend he could ask her, too.

I think that it is perfectly fine for him not to have any groomsmen. He should be able to pick whomever he likes to stand with him. If he doesn't have anyone that he feels is right, then he can go it alone. Many WPs are uneven now-- it shouldn't be an issue.

My FI was a bridesman at a wedding of his friends a few years ago.  They had more men than women in the ceremony and he'd been friends with both since college so he stood on the bride's side.  No reason the opposite couldn't work here.
