Ceremony order

I’m puzzled how to match up the bridesmaids and groomsmen. On my side, I have a Matron of honor who is my best friend, a maid of honor, my sister and my fiancé’s sister and sister in law are bridesmaids. On his side the best man is his brother, then his brother in law, my brother, and a friend. Do we ignore the “titles” and pair people up based on husband/wife and family or match up by titles? Do people normally care about these things? I just don’t want it to be weird that his brother walks down with my friend.

The maid of honor and the best man usually walk together. The rest don’t really matter. You’ll have them walk out in the order that you want them to stand at the ceremony, with MOH being last and closest to you.

Pair the way you feel is right.

We have my best friend, my daughter, future sister in law and future cousin in law on my side.
His side is his best man, a good friend, my son and my best friends husband.
We are planning on pairing cousin in law with best man, sister in law with good friend, my children together (this shall be fun), and my best friend and her husband together. Everyone will split and walk to their places.

I agree with what PPs said but I think in your case maybe pairing them as husband and wife also make sense since they're already in your party anyway

It doesn’t matter. We set our sides individually by height and then they walked with whoever was there on the opposite side.

Best man and MOH walk together always.

Like others have said, it doesnt matter who walks with who. Im making my type 1 diabetic kid sister walk with FH's buddy thats a pediatric nurse, for peace of mind.

Do it however you want to! We're kinda going by height. But I wouldn't worry about whether they walk down the aisle with their significant other. When ya'll take pictures you can then put them together.

It doesn't really matter. We didn't do the traditional MOH/BM match up since my FIL was my husband's best man. The groomsmen came in from the side, my FIL escorted his mom (dad has passed,) and my husband escorted my MIL. For the recessional, my FIL stopped at the front row and walked out with my MIL. They were followed by my son (groomsman) with my two nieces (bridemaids), then my MOH with the next groomsman, and so on.

I'm just pairing them up by their positions at the altar. Example: my daughter (maid of honor), will walk with FHs best man, my sister will walk with the next groomsman in line, and my cousin with the last groomsman in line. Simple. It's a very small portion of the overall wedding, and nobody will care or remember anyway (except for you), so do it however you want! I just didn't want a bunch of shuffling bodies into position at the altar. This way, they walk, separate, and stand. Done.

Personally, I don't think it matters but I have been told by my party that it appears that the general consensus is to pair them up by height. IDK, sure, why not.
