Bridesmaid/groomsman drama..... two weeks out!

I would just keep the uneven numbers and do nothing if the groomsman backs out. If they break up, pair them with other people.

Our numbers are already uneven - I have 8 and he has 6! So it would be definitely more uneven than before lol.

Yeah that's the plan I think.

It shouldn't be too big of a deal then. I hate that for your friends though. I hope everything works out.

You're right, if the groomsman bails, he's not a good friend anyway. If they breakup, just pair them with different people or have her be one of the ones not paired. She seems to be very mature about it, so they shouldn't let it hinder your day!

Don't ever replace someone because it'll feel like they're being a filler. Your numbers are already uneven anyway it's ok to keep it that way if he does bail

Continue being a good friend and be there for her. And keep your uneven numbers, it's not that big of a deal, just double up on pairs if you need to .

Can you just change the processional so the guys all walk in one by one, then the girls? Then the only time they have to be with each other is for the reception entrance (if you’re doing that).

I feel like your friends will be on their best behavior for your wedding. If they care about you, they can slap a smile on their faces for a day.

If it was me I would have a couple of back-up plans and I would also talk to FH about what he thinks about the different plans b options.

Well curious if your numbers are very uneven do you have two girls walking together at the end anyways? Because if he backs out I don't think it would be a hug deal if you are already uneven but the walking out might get a little difficult and you may need to just bring them all out individually instead of walking out together. Personally The best man in our wedding is my FH best friend and when we got engaged he was dating one of my best friends. Obviously they were both asked to be in the wedding but a few months later they split. Both agreed to not let it get between the wedding. Well she ended up dealing with some things (losing her job serious health issues of her child) so she backed down. By this point he was dating another girl (still 6-7 months out from our wedding at this point) and things were moving pretty quickly. They started living together and her and I got pretty close. She kept hinting of wanting to be in the wedding knowing my other bridesmaid backed down... I contemplated it but ultimately decided no... Thank goodness! She went nuts and they broke up, she was invited as a plus one and not even invited on her own because we only knew her through him and she was pissed when she no longer had a spot coming to the wedding. If your guy is truly good friends with your FH then he won't back down if he does then honestly he probably doesn't deserve to be standing up there next to you guys. I think you should just let everything unfold and happen how its going to happen and just have a back up plan on how everyone walks in.

If the groomsman doesn't show, you could have the groomsmen follow the groom to the altar at entrance, (when this is done they usually come in from the side all together, not do a one by one entrance like the bridesmaids) and the bridesmaids walk up alone, and have the three girls exit the ceremony alone. For reception entrances, the three of them could walk in together, or you could do two of them together if theyre close friends maybe, and have one of them walk in with the ring bearer and do something cute?
