Only 1 best man

You can have the best man walk the maid of honor and one other bridesmaid (one on each arm) and then two bridesmaids walk together

I would have the BM enter with the groom and have the bridesmaids enter individually. I don't understand how the walk is any longer or shorter whether you're alone or have an escort.

I agree with Caytlyn. They don’t have to be spaced far apart either, the only time you want to wait until everyone is down the aisle and settled is before you walk.

Typically groomsmen enter with the groom, and bridesmaids enter individually. It’s during the processional that they’re escorted. I would either have the BM escort your MOH or have them walk individually.

I would have them walk individually. Unless it's in an unsafe area, I don't think there's a problem with them walking alone. They're adults; they should be fine.

Until recently, more often than not, the best man and the groom entered from the side and took their places, as did the officiant. And only flower girl or ring bearer, Bridesmaids and MOH
and Bride with escort, came down the aisle. It has been a recent fad to have everyone come down the aisle, and many do that. But more people still have the men wait with groom at the altar, than not. And as FOB is now seated, Groom returns with Bride, Best Man with MOH or 1st BM, then other BM walk behind, singly or in pairs as you prefer. Bridal party need not be paired off with someone of the opposite sex, or anyone. They are not couples, just friends and family.

View Quoted Comment Agreed. The groomsmen enter with the groom anyway.

My fiancé is having only one Best man. I have his sister as my maid of honor. I’m not really close with many people, so my fiancé only has the one even though he could have had 4.

View Quoted Comment Its not literally longer, Its just lonely and slightly awkward by yourself. Our ceremony is in the woods so the aisle is probably 200 yards or so..

I should have clarified, walking down the aisle for the processional, not before the ceremony.

View Quoted Comment That is a long ways. Are you going to a clearing in the woods?
How narrow is the path? A cleared truck width, like an old farm path with salt plowed under, that winds around obstacles and is at least a wagon wide?

View Quoted Comment The walk down the aisle between seats, to the front Altar, once guests are seated, and the last guests, Mothers are seated with an escort, is the processional. You are going forth to get married. The exit parade down the aisle after you are pronounced husband and wife, is the recessional.
Think of proceeding to the ceremony, and receding from it.
Now, are you talking about the walk from the road or parking, to an area behind the seats, or area of guests standing in a clearing,where you will start the actual processional? Living in a rural mountainous area where much land is Federal Forrest or State Park, I have worked at and been guest at many where everyone goes off road, sometimes from a trail head or farm lane, sometimes a Forrest fire road. To gather in a clearing , near a mountain overlook, pretty waterfall and view, or a meadow in an apple or cherry orchard in bloom, with a mountain backdrop. If there is a 8-12 foot wide grassy or groundcover path, sometimes the bridal party only, sometimes just groom and one, then bride and one. Or each alone, rides in a horse and open carriage. Or a dog cart pulled by 2 dogs with a person walking alongside. As with limos, a rented service unless the couple knows people.But also not uncommon, because these are usually artsy or woodsy types, or boho, is for them to hire a few musicians or a good amateur dance group, like Morris dancers or a folk group. Just to be along a grassy or pine needle covered lane leading to the clearing. Far enough apart so you can just see or hear the next musician or dancer as you walk by one. If you are coming last, they could be a small procession before and after you, make an entrance and not feel alone walking. One local historic church no longer in use except as a venue is a walk from an old parish hall where people suit and dress up, up to the old building on the hill. This is another shoet walk to an Inn for indoor or outdoor receptions. Most people had a group of children from the family precede them. 200 yards is a long ways alone. Choose some oeople to stand along the way and fall in in front of and behind you as you pass, or go ing company, children or friends or family. There is no need for them to be bridal party. It could be his parents or siblings with him. Then yours with you. And they take their places when groom is at the altar, and you approach the clearing. Don't feel you need imitate a church.

Same situation, although our aisle doesn’t go into/come from the woods. I kinda wish it did, but my groom told me I was crazy to want to come from the trail (it doesn’t make sense and it would be a lot of walking through the woods to get to the amphitheater. But it’s still a long walk down from the community center. My FH’s BM will be with him at the altar. I have three girls and they will walk in solo. For exiting though, my MOH will walk dolor, because the BM is married to my next bridesmaid, so I’ll have them walk together as a couple, and then my last bridesmaid who’s my cousin and almost like a junior bridesmaid, but she just turned 18, so I gave her full honors, she’ll walk last and by herself.

My fiancé is the same as you. He asked one of my best friend’s husband to be his Best Man. He asked me about another of my friend’s husband being a groomsman, but I told him I didn’t feel right about it not just because they hadn’t been friends long (he hasn’t known his Best Man super long either), but I felt like it would put me in an awkward spot because I’ve been friends with the wife for years through running but chose not to ask her to be a bridesmaid.
