Wedding Party

Bridesmaids but no groomsmen

I asked my best friend to be my MOH, my sister and friend to be a bridesmaid for our wedding in August. FI had said he was going to ask a few of his friends to be BM and GM.

It's now 4 months before our wedding and he has decided he doesn't want anyone to stand up there with him. He hasn't really seen his friends in a while so I think that's part of it. I do have a 7 year old son who I was going to have walk my 5 year old daughter (flowergirl) down the aisle and have stand next to him.

So withtout GM--do all of the girls stand on my side? Should I have them sit down instead of standing? Should I have my son walk the maid of honor down and stand on FI's side? Or should I jsut leave him as the ring bearer and walk his sister down?

We are now scratching the WP table at the reception because it would be an odd number of seating- and just doing a WP table and sweetheart table for us. I guess we can scratch the bridal party entrance since they won't be escorted by anyone.

  • Whomever was asked to be in the wedding party by YOU stands on YOUR side, yes. Does your fiance want your son to stand with him? If so, then he should. If not, then he shouldn't.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • He's definitely ok with my son standing on his side, but because he's only 7- I'm not sure if it's really appropriate?

     I've also considered just having the girls sit in the front row and then have my kids sit with my mom (someone to wrangle them- LOL). So it would be just FI and I standing.
  • You can either have your girls sit, or you can have them stand, depending on personal preference.  Either way is equally valid.  Uneven sites are totes a nonissue.

    On a side note:  My sister had me standing up with her at her wedding, and her husband had nobody.  The pictures were beautiful, and nobody batted an eye.
