Groomsman dropped out

So one of the groomsmen dropped out of the bridal party(and I think wedding) because my husband got a promotion (they work together) and he's been working there longer so there's some jealousy issues.. long story short he wants nothing to do with us, which leaves my bridesmaid without a groomsman.

I really don't see anything wrong with her walking down alone but the other bridesmaids have groomsmen, would it be rude to ask her if she's ok walking alone? It's too late to ask anyone else

    Like everyone has said - uneven sides are totally fine!! You can have that bridesmaid walk alone or double up so one groomsman walks with two bridesmaids.

    One of DH's groomsmen dropped out a month before the wedding (he was concerned about his sobriety), but we already had uneven sides before that!

    We have uneven BP's all the time. Generally, the GM are up at the front, then the BM process down alone, and then one guy has two women to walk back with. Easy peasy!

    It's fine for one to walk individually.

    What about having another gentleman walk her to her place and then he continue to his seat nonchalantly?!?

    One of my bridesmaids just got a new job, so she unfortunately won't be able to make it to the wedding at all. She is going to try her best...but who knows.

    My plan is to have all the guys come in from the side with FH and the officiant,, and then have the girls go alone 1 by 1 down the aisle .

    You definitely don't replace. That would be rude af.

    Some options ..... Have the moh walk down alone, or have just her walk alone, or have 1 groomsmen walk to 2 girls, or guys already at alter with groom and bridesmaids all walk alone

    Is she seeing anyone , I know it's hard finding a last minute guy but maybe she's seeing Somone long term.
