Sister of the groom doesn’t like procession

Haley, on July 31, 2019 at 10:59 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 20
So, I’ve been trying to pair my bridesmaids and groomsmen for the procession. I put everyone together based on their looks and builds. My fiancé and I agreed on his brother (one of his groomsmen) walking his sister (who is one of my bridesmaids) down the aisle. Well his sister is now mad because she doesn’t want her brother to walk her and claims it isn’t...proper? Is it not ok for me to do that?

    I don't know how that's not proper, I mean I didnt know there were specifics in who walks with who.

    The only improper thing about this is that you’re classifying your bridal party by looks and body type. I see nothing wrong with her brother escorting her and it’s not her decision to make.

    Not gonna lie, other than the Maid of Honor and Best Man, we paired everyone randomly.

    Nothing wrong with pairing them together. I had my husband's niece & nephew (they are brother & sister) paired together.

    I think she's being a bit ridiculous. It's your wedding and she should respect your choice. Also, it's perfectly fine for her to walk with him.

    Nothing wrong with this at all! Sounds like sister is just being difficult and trying to make the wedding about her. Not going to happen!

    I don’t know, maybe I’m over thinking it. But I thought everyone I paired up would look really nice together! It wasn’t because I was judging their looks. I just wanted to pair people that would get along really well and look nice down the aisle. And she hasn’t liked anything I’ve chosen. Hates my colors and is very vocal about it so I was just trying to make her happy so that day can go well

    She's making a fuss over something silly, HOWEVER... I also think you shouldn't worry about this so much. Just switch people around and have her walk with someone else. Simple solution.

    Thank you so much. That makes me feel better that there isn’t some unwritten rule about this!

    I'd have FH tell her to get over it and then I'd stop wedding talk around her so she couldn't rain on the parade anymore than she already has

    Honestly, it seems she will always find something to complain about. Brother walking with sister is totally okay!

    We are pairing people based on their order in the wedding party. Doing it based on looks and build seems kind of superficial but to each their own. I don't see how it is improper to pair them together. It's not like you're asking them to be romantic or something.

    What do you mean by their order in the wedding party?

    I have my MOH and he has his BM. Then my sister and his brother, then our friends down the line in order of how close we are to that person. It didn't matter who was actually paired with who. We just did it based on length of friendship or do we see this person a bit more often or whatever.

    If you have someone who can swap where you think the heights and personalities work well together, I would swap her. But if not she can suck it up! It's only for a few minutes anyways

    I dont think there are 'rules' to pairing people. Personally I plan on pairing them by height, not 'looks or build'. My advice is avoid pairing by looks or build because frankly it can be offensive and make your party insecure, height is usually the way to go. However, do whatever you prefer on your day!

    My thoughts exactly!!! Just pair them how you want to pair them and tell her to shut her Dorito hole, lol. (You are probably nicer than me, lolol!!!!)
