Ex's in the bridal party. Help.

Also, recessionals are much quicker in my experience so if they had to walk next to each other I would think they would be fine. They don't have to link arms to leave the altar

Thank you !

This is what most have been telling me!

You could have the two of them walk separately during the recessional, and then have all the rest of the bridal party partner up. That would be rather cute and not mess with the flow.

I would hope that the two of them can act like adults, and not make a scene or start any drama, since they are there for your wedding!

It's a really short time period when they walk back up the aisle, so shouldn't be any big deal.

I wouldn't worry much about it. Minimize close contact and you should be good!

I like this! You could even have the best man already up there with the groom. I have seen that done before. And then the MOH walks in last by herself before you. And then same thing for the recessional, have them walk separately so it looks like you are just distinguishing the MOH and BM. Or what someone else said, she will have her bouquet, they don't need to link arms.

Point is, this is your day and they need to put their drama aside. Do what you can to accommodate, but also let them know they need to just be adults about it.

yes thank you!

I will have the guys up there. So it's just the leaving, but you're right they will have bouquets!

I've definitely seen the maid of honor and best man walk alone before shouldn't be a big deal I truly doubt anyone would notice.

One of the groomsmen dated my MOH and my cousin who is a BM too. Also my MOH hooked up with the Best Man a few times. This IS what happens when best friends think it's cool to date best friends haha. It's frustrating but what can ya do? They all get along and are nice enough now so its not a problem. But I'm making them all walk together no matter what. Now if it was a really bad break up, I probably wouldn't. But they all seem fine with it.

WOW! lol thanks haley!

Haha. At least you know you're not the only one!

I wouldn't stress it, to be honest. I'm curious as to why you think it throws off the recessional though. In my mind they would exit the way they entered: solo. Worst case scenario, they walk together but not touching. I promise you it will not be a big deal At least, not big enough to stress over.

Personally, my ex-boyfriend is a groomsman (kill me, right?) and my friend that he's walking with...well, I'm a little concerned that there will be bloodshed. Lol. But again, I think as long as everyone is an adult and is able to set their personal feelings aside for like 10 minutes...all should be well for your wedding and for mine

Well, I said that because I had thought I fixed the problem by having all the groomsmen on stage. Then later realized I needed to plan for their exit which is usually them coming down linking arms. But I think it's settled, I'll either one see if she can keep it together for when they leave out or just have the girls dismiss first and then the guys follow.
