Tall groomsmen, short bridesmaids, help!
We have four of each gender, yet all of the groomsmen are taller than the bridesmaids. For example, two of the men are over 6 foot, the tallest bridesmaid is 5'3 without heels. So here's our question, how should they link arms as they walk down the aisle if the groomsmen's elbow is higher than most of the maids? The bride does want want them to walk down together. Any other suggestions or ideas of how they can walk down? Thanks!

Seriously?
No, seriously?
The bride is freaking nuts, and officially overthinking. The guy puts out his arm, and the girl grabs onto it. They don't link elbows like the Wizard of Oz. Guys are generally taller than girls. No one in the history of the world has felt this was an issue. FI is nearly a foot taller than me, we walk arm in arm all the time.
This may be the most ridiculous question I've seen in the entire time I've been posting on the Knot, and I've seen some doozies. This is the point where the bride needs to take some time off from wedding planning, because she's starting to lose it.
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
Seriously, they can walk down the aisle just fine together. Guy sticks out arm, girl grabs it, and away they go. Our BM is about a foot taller than the MOH and they made it down the aisle just fine - here is a picture:
This post wins.
On a serious note, don't do anything about it. Throw them into the shark tank known as the rehearsal, and see if they're smart enough to figure it out.
lol
I'm still baffled by this question. I still vote this the most ridiculous question I've seen in nearly a year and a half on the boards, unless someone comes by asking us how to walk. "Someone told me I just have to put one foot in front of the other, but if I'm not standing on both feet, won't I fall?"

Maybe they should amputate all the mens' legs below the knee to even things up better.
I agree with aerin that this is probably the most ridiculous question ever on the Knot.
