Question on pairing Maid of honor at reception

in Wedding Party

Hi all,

 

My maid of honor and her husband are both in our wedding party but her husband is not the best man. Is it okay to match them up when entering the reception even though he isn't the best man (someone else is)?

 

Thanks!

    Yes, but does it really matter?  It's 2 seconds walking into a room. 




    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

    It's fine to have them walk in with their matching counterpart. DH and I were both in BIL and SIL's wedding. He was co-BM and I was a BM. He walked out of the ceremony and entered the reception with one if the MOH and I did with a GM. NBD.

    Retread, it's very common for the WP to be part of the grand entrance into the reception.

    You can either let them walk in together, or just skip he intro. I skipped so my bridal party could just relax and have fun.

    Ditto Banana's scenario. I mean, I love my DH and of course I'd love to have walked with him. But when we've been in wedding parties, between the church and the reception entrance, we were paired up separately for a total of a minute. Holy cow, I might die.

    @RetreadBride Every wedding I have been at, they are announced into the reception.  It's a way to show that they are also honoured guests at the reception.  I suppose it is possible to introduce the wedding party one at a time and have them enter with their SO, but from what I have seen it is easier to just have them come in together and be announced in pairs. So for example, the DJ says "Now give a round of applause for the Best Man and the Maid of Honour, X and Y!"  And then they come in together and take their seats.

    Ditto kerbohl.      You don't "have" to do this but it's not bad to do it either.

    Even when I wasn't paired with DH, I walked into the reception with the GM and then took my seat next to my husband for the meal.
