Okay, so I have a matron of honor and a maid of honor both of whom I am
really close to. Which one should be the closest by me and walk down
with the best man? Any help would be appreciated!
If you can't decide, why not select alphabetically? I doubt your friends will actually read anything into the order they walk/stand in though, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Yes, it is! We had a really good talk around New Years, and everything has been great since! He is even helping more with the wedding. We did decided to move it back, but I believe deciding that saved our marriage before it even began!

Alphabetical order by first name. Alphabetical order by last name. By height. Is the best man single, if so, he should walk with the Maid of Honor, if he's married, he should walk with the Matron of Honor. By who you've known longest. By who can run the mile in a faster time. By who traveled to get to your wedding from the furthest distance away. In other words, it doesn't matter.
I also have a Matron of Honor and a Maid of Honor. The Matron is walking with the Best Man and the Maid is walking with a Groomsman. I'm not sure how I chose, that's just how I saw it in my head.

Or if one of them is a clutz maybe you doing want her being the one to hold your bouquet.

Or you'd rather the klutz deal with the bouquet because it means she'll be farther away from the candles. (Go ahead and drop the bouquet, but just don't catch yourself or my venue on fire!)

I think these are all great suggestions, even if they're said a bit in jest. I had three attendants and they walked in order known the longest. My close friend was fretting over her order and I suggested the same for her (8 attendants!) because it really did seem the most objective in her case. I think having any objective logic is helpful so people don't feel ranked. It sounds so silly and petty, I know, but this is something that causes brides stress as they don't want to offend.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter much. I had matron & maid, and one other bm. Order was decided 5-minutes before the wedding by our wedding coordinator that suggest matron go first, then maid, then bm, based on their height.

Eta: Is the wedding back on?
