Having Best Man and Moh walk alone

Jennifer, on August 23, 2021 at 8:43 AM Posted in Planning 0 22
For our ceremony I didn’t consider the fact that my maid of honor is strict in following rules with COVID 19 and our best man is not vaccinated and has no intention to get vaccinated. It’s really frustrating but there’s not much we are able to do about it. So we thought maybe we could have the two of them walk alone instead of together. I know my maid of honor would feel a lot more comfortable with it. Would it be weird to have the best man enter right after the groom and then the maid of honor enter alone right before I (the bride) enters? All other bridesmaids and groomsmen would still walk in pairs though.


Thank you

    I don't think it's an issue to do it this way. That might even be the traditional order. But if she's not willing to be near him, you can't sit them at the same table, so you will need something different than the usual head table.

    Okay thank you and for the tables we plan to have everyone organized by family so that shouldn’t be an issue! ☺️

    Absolutely. I'm having my whole party walk alone, although that's only 3 on each side. I don't think there's any formation that will look weird because I've seen it done many different ways. I'm sure your MOH would appreciate it.

    That sounds perfectly fine! We had everyone in our party walk alone.

    This is actually a fairly common processional arrangement.

    I also would make sure not to do any dances that require people to dance with people they're not comfortable with (and tell your DJ!)

    We had everyone in our bridal party walk alone, and that was before Covid. I prefer that over escorting, so I don't think it is weird at all.

    Not an issue at all. My husband's best man was already on stage with him and then my moh ended up walking alone.

    Perfectly normal! Smiley smile As long as they don't mind it and you guys don't mind it then go with it.

    Walking separate isn’t weird at all! I’ve seen people paired and walking in alone. My MOH is walking in alone and the best man will walk after the groom.

    You can do whatever works for you. Every wedding I have attended, the groomsmen enter from stage left with the groom while the bridesmaids walk ahead of you down the aisle.

    I don't think it weird at all.

    However, consider how they will leave. I have seen many variations of the bridal party & groom party walk in, but usually everyone walks next to each other when it's over. Perhaps, have them walk one after the other, or something.

    It was kinda odd cus for the reception i walked with him. but again, you can do the same type of procession for the grand entrance as you did for the ceremony

    The reception entrance was just my husband and I because my girls dressed down almost immediately after the wedding party photos lol. I didn't want to bother them with getting folled up again. If you want to have them enter together even if they didn't enter together in the ceremony, that's totally fine. It's up to you. I don't think anything would be strange about it.
