    Having un-even sides is really common.  What does your FI want to do?  Just go with whatever he wants to do and don't worry about an un-even number.

    Ours is uneven tool.  It's not a big deal.  Have your MOH walk alone, or Just have one groomsman walk two BM down the isle and be done with it. :)

    Uneven sides are more common than not.
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    I thought the follow up was going to be one groomsman tall.....

    Really, WPs are not about symmetry.  They are about having those you care most about stand with you on your wedding day. You'll be just as married with uneven sides as you will with even sides. 

    The upside is one lucky guy escorts two beautiful women.

    Or you could advertise for another GM on Craig's list.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    Totally fine, we have 7 bridesmaids but 8 groomsmen (yeah it's huge, omg). I'm just going to have the last girl escorted by two guys. Or possible the MOH. =-)

    Our sides are uneven, and I don't care one bit - as pp said, your wedding party should be made up of those closest to you, regarless of number.

    All of my ladies are walking by themselves down the aisle, so number is completely irrelevant.

    Uneven is fine! I am only having 1 attendant and my FI has 2 best men and 2 ring bearers on his side.

    I'm glad to hear of so many others having uneven WP's to. We're planning to have 2 bridesmaids and 1 groomsman... the other's are right, it's most important to have the ppl you want standing with you...

    Our wedding party is SO uneven as well!  I have had a lot of people ask...oh what are you going to do??  I don't care.  It was either that, or I was going to cut some people who I really want to stand next to me as I take my vows.  We have 1 maid of honor, 5 bridesmaids, 1 jr bm, 2 flower girls, 1 best man, 2 groomsmen, 2 ringbearers.  We are having the girls walk down by themselves and then the party will walk out 2 guys to one girl.  It worked for us, but most importantly everyone we want to be there will be!

    Another in agreement about uneven sides. Not a problem at all! All that really matters is that you've chosen people you care about and want to stand up for you.
