Hi all,
As I'm sure many of us have, my wedding coming up is not the original wedding I had planned, but something we sort of pieced together last minute after everything else fell through. My problem is, the wedding is now very small (about 28 guests), but our bridal party is still the same size it was for our original, big wedding (5 on each side). But now that we are at this small venue, we don't really have the room for the bridal party all stand up front with us during the ceremony, so only the BM and MOH will stand, the others are going to walk down the aisle and be seated. But my problem is, where do I seat them? I have heard that they should be seated in the front row, but then I would have to put my immediate family in the second row (and as I understand, immediate family is also *supposed* to sit in the first row). Because we are only having 28ish guests, each row is only 4-5 chairs long, so basically, my family and bridal party can't all sit in the front row, so who should go in the second row? I'm thinking my family, because the bridesmaids should sit in front, so that after walking down the aisle, they don't have to climb or squeeze over anyone to get to their chairs.
