REALLY Uneven Bridal Party

This is literally your photographer's job. It is your photographer's job to pose you all for pictures, and then take the pictures. Let your photographer do their job.

Hahaha I just have to say Brian, I really enjoy your responses here. You're taking these ladies in stride.

My bridal party is pretty uneven, too. 5 girls and 3 guys, but possibly 2 as the 3rd one is out of town and in the military, so he's unsure yet if he can make it.

My input is, even though you've updated us, is that sides don't have to be even and they don't even have to be close to even. Any group of people will make for a good photo opportunity; and as everyone else has mentioned, the photographer will make it work. ETA: spelling

JustSayNguyen, you can't call people names, and calling him a pretentious jerk is certainly offensive and most definitely "name calling". I genuinely believe Brian has 7 close friends, my FH has 7 best friends, which include my brother, two of his cousins, 2 buddies from college, and 2 from high school. None of which I could imagine not being a part of our wedding as his groomsmen. Sometimes, the wife or husband, may just not have many close friends. Sometimes, people just have more close friends than others.

@Seth'sGirl Yes, my comment was hidden for this reason and I don't believe you are a moderator on here so you telling me is unnecessary, but thank you for your input. I said what I said because plenty of people on here were genuinely trying to help and OP really has been rather dismissive and rude. I never said I don't believe he has any friends, I am sure he does. I simply don't think he needs to talk to people the way he does when they are honestly just trying to help.

ETA: I don't need you defining what name calling is, I am not a child. I really just wasn't thinking about the rules on here when I posted, so it got hidden. I'll hold my tongue next time.

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding recently with 7 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen. The photos turned out lovely. The photographer handled it setting up shots and I'm sure yours will as well. I wouldn't stress about it, as long as you guys are happy it's going to be fine.

My 9 year old daughter from a previous marriage will be walking down the aisle with my FH's brother. That's my "bridal party" oh and I'm walking myself down the aisle. I think people lose sight of what matters on your special day. Even if the wedding party is "perfect" and even something else can go wrong. Lol just be happy people love you enough to participate in your day.
