  It's perfectly fine to have only the moh and the bm up there with you. However, I don't think you can ask the men who aren't up there to rent tuxes or wear them if they don't want to.

  Yeah, that was the part that I thought about after responses on P&E.  FI talked to some of his friends about it.  Some already have black suits that they can wear.  A few other are in b-school right now and wanted to purchase black suits anyways.  I have to find out about the rest of their situations still.

  They don't have to match everyone to get the "speaking roles" just have them come up to the altar however they're dressed.

  Right, the girls with speaking roles won't match.  The boys are the ones that will be coordinated because that's what FI wants.

  I don't think he can have them all match if they're not going to stand next to him. If they aren't up there with you, then they don't have the responsibility of having to get tuxes if they don't want to.

  In Catholic ceremonies, typically the only ones on the altar with the couple are the Best Man and MOH. The other attendants process down the aisle and then sit in the first pew on either side. So IMO I see no problem with including all the groomsmen in the processional and then having them sit up front for the ceremony, and the recessing back down the aisle at the end. Or some of the guys could stand on your side with the MOH, and some could stand on FI's side, just so there's not 9 people jammed on one side.

  Of course it's okay. Why wouldn't it be? I doubt the officiant will hold up his hands after the processional and say "Hold up, we need some more gals on your side or this party ain't gonna happen." This is totally a situation where you say "It's my wedding and I'm going to do what I want!"

  I think it's fine to have them as GM, have them walk in with your FI, and then take a seat in the front row.  You could have your MOH and BM also sit in the front row for the majority of the ceremony, and then have just those two stand during your vows.  The other ceremony participants could be seated in the front row on your side.  Then the GM could walk out with the readers at the end.

  I think they can be groomsmen, rent tuxes and participate in the processional, and sit in the front row. i've also been to Catholic weddings where the bridal party sat in the front row. If they'd rather wear suits though, thats okay too, your Fiance should talk to them all, and figure out what works best for them.
