    Well I guess I'll start lol...

    We had 6 all together - 2 on my side, 2 on his side, and 2 flower girls.

    My MOH was my best friend from undergrad. She introduced DH and me (we were both in her BP).

    My BM was a good friend from our church choir, of which DH and I are both members. She was also friends with both of us before we met each other.

    DH's BM was his best friend from undergrad.

    His GM was a good friend from high school who happened to be the husband of my MOH, and also my very good friend from undergrad.

    Our FGs were the daughters of DH's cousins.

    We had 8 altogether - 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen.

    3 of the bridesmaids were my university roommates (with one being my MOH), and the fourth was DH's younger sister.  

    2 of the groomsmen were DH's roommates (all of us knew each other at school too), my brother was another, and his younger brother was his BM.

    we're having 4 total. one maid of honor, a bridesmaid, a best man and groomsman. 

    my MOH is my cousin. I grew up with her and she's more like a sister, she's also my roomate, and my best friend. 

    My bridesmaid is a really close friend of mine, and she's awesome. 

    the best man was FI's roomate in college, and like a brother to him

    His groomsman was also a friend from college.

    Our wedding is a very small old fashioned 1800's church wedding and thats really all there is room for up front LOL. :)

    Hi All!
    We had 14 in our party, the groom's sister and 2 brothers, nephew, friend from high school and friend from work. We had thr bride's friend since elementary, roomie, friend from uni and goddaughter, and friend from work, and friend from nursing school, and godson. Seems like a lot, but when you wait 'til 40 to marry, you have amassed a lot of important people who have helped you along the way. I wouldn't have changed a thing about the large WP. They were all gorgeous!

    I'm a little late to this one, but here's my answer anyway.

    We'll have three on each side.
    My MOH is my sister-in-law, and my BMs are my best friend, and my cousin. His BM is his best friend, and his other two GM are another good friend from school, and my brother.

    We have 10 bm/gm and 4 rb/fg...

    My MOH is my absolute best friend since grade 10.

    BM's are my sister, one of my other grade 10 best friends, an old roommate (we lived together for 3 years and became lifelong friends!), and someone who I've always kinda known but became awesome friends with in the last 5ish years, and is now dating my FI's best friend! (also his BM!)

    FI's side is pretty much the same story, his BM is his best friend, his others are friends he's always had, and his brother.

    2 FG's and one RB are my cousins, and one RB is a couple's who we're both close with son

    Same for me! And what makes it extra special, my MOH and his BM were married 4 years ago, which is where we met, so it was kind of a given that they would HAVE to be in our wedding!

    21...Yeah, it's big, I know, but that's because we have a lot of close family.

    My sister is my MOH, I'm having my brother and BIL as bridesmen, and then my BMs are my cousin and 4 of my closest friends.  For FI, he's having his brother as his BM, his two SILs as groomswomen, and then as GMs he's having his brother and 3 of his closest friends.

    And then we're having his 2 nephews as RBs and our 4 nieces as FGs.
