Processional order?

Brooke, on June 11, 2020 at 11:47 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 11
Hi everyone!
I would like some opinions Smiley smile my maid of honor is married to one of my FH’s groomsmen. The problem is that said groomsmen is not the best man. Should my MOH and the best man still walk down the aisle together? Is it appropriate for her to not walk with her husband or is that weird?
Thank you!💕

    I think In this case it makes sense to have them walk together

    It's not weird unless they think it's weird. Smiley smile If they're ok with walking with other people it's fine!


    Context: I was in a situation with my friend's wedding where she wanted two of her bridal party (groomsman and Bridesmaid who were in a relationship) to walk down the aisle with other people because she was organizing the procession by height. The Bridesmaid in question was extremely uncomfortable walking down with anyone but her boyfriend and in the end things had to be rearranged. It worked out in the end and nobody thought anything of it.

    We have 2 couples in our wedding party that won’t match up! My sister is my MOH and my fiancé’s brother is best man. My sister is married to one of his groomsmen. And another bridesmaid is married to another groomsmen but they won’t match up either. I didn’t even think of it being weird that they aren’t walking together 🤷🏼‍♀️ We all know each other and are friends. Your bridal party will probably all be comfortable with each other by the time the wedding comes with all the fun festivities 😊 I wouldn’t stress

    I think it won't be that big of a deal either way. It's a 1 minute walk down the aisle, so not walking with her husband isn't a huge deal for 1 minute. I'd have her walk with the best man, but if she's/they're upset by it, then you can do whatever works for everyone. Either way, it'll be okay!

    I really think you can do it either way... Either the MOH & BM walk together OR have the couple walk together and they just go to their designated "space" by the alter. Maybe ask their preference?

    Just because they are married doesn’t mean they have to walk together. If you are having bridesmaids & groomsmen walk together, then your MOH should walk with the best man. We eliminated this issue all together and had everyone walk individually.

    I'm lining them up according to where they will be standing with us at the altar, not for who they are married to.

    So, BMs and GMs walk together, then MOH and Best Man.

    I'd just line them up in the order they'll be standing. I couldn't imagine them caring if they walk with their spouse or not, it's like a 10 second walk lol.

    At my friend’s wedding, we had this issue. I was the maid of honor and my FH was a groomsman. Her husband had his best woman stand in the front with him and I walked down by myself. When we recessed, my FH walked someone else down and I walked down with the best woman. But when we were introduced at the reception, my FH was my escort and the best woman had someone else walk her in. So it really depends on what works for everyone, I know couples who separate other couples because they want people to process in a certain order, like for how many years the person has known the bride or groom, etc.

    I'm sure they can both handle 30 seconds of walking with someone else.
