Coupling the wedding party

bubblegumlipgloss · April 2011

When you have a bridemaid and groomsman in your wedding party that are married to each other is it proper etiquette to pair them with each other rather than with other party attendants?

It's a nice guesture, but it's not required. If you're planning on having a bridal party dance at the reception, though, I would let them dance together.

I don't think it would matter at all. I was in a wedding with a married couple and was paired with the husband in the recessional because his wife was the maid of honor, so she walked with the best man.

It really doesn't matter at all. They're walking down an aisle, not having sex

We had two married couples in our WP, I never thought to separate them. I just don't get why you would? Unless one is the MOH or BM. I would think it was strange if H and I were in a wedding together and we weren't paired up.

We paired our married WP together for the recessional. I don't think it's necessary, but it worked out well for us, and it was great for pictures.

Unless there was a REALLY good reason to, I wouldn't separate married/engaged/dating members of the WP.

EDIT: ESPECIALLY if you're separating them for height reasons.

I don't know why you would separate them either. Unless, like KJB said, one was the MOH or BM.

I have a couple in my wedding party (not married, but long-term couple), and I originally planned on having them not walk together just because the guy is actually the best man, but the girl is just a bridesmaid. Per tradition, I thought the best man should walk down the aisle with the maid of honor, so that’s how I originally planned it. Then, I found out that my bridesmaid was actually PISSED that she couldn’t walk down the aisle with her boyfriend, so after a bunch of passive-aggressive conversations, I said that was fine (it was obviously more important to her than it was to me). So, in short, I would couple them together so no one is upset.

Unless one of them is the BM or MOH, then I don't see a reason why you couldn't pair them together.

Ditto KJB that unless one is a MOH/BM I don't know why you wouldn't have them walk together. I know it's just a walk down an aisle, but on a day celebrating marriage, why would you split a married couple?

H and I are both in his brothers wedding this summer and I really hope they are having us walk together. I know it makes no difference who you walk with, but why wouldn't you just pair us together?
