I am a very non traditional bride, and the thought of having a big formal ceremony gives me anxiety. Long story short, I originally wanted no one at the altar besides me and my fiance, but I still wanted to give my best friend the chance to be my MOH because I knew it was important to her, and I wanted her by side. My fiance is very into tradition, and ended up asking not one, but two guys to be on his side... so we ended up agreeing to have them stand up there with us, despite the odd number (one on my side, two on his).
However, now I'm thinking about it and am going back on my decision, especially with the odd number. I'm wondering if it would be strange to have them all walk down the aisle then take a seat in the front row during the ceremony? I have seen a few weddings online do this, and loved the simplicity/intimacy of it. Have any of you seen this before?
