Spouses in bridal party

Alexa, on March 9, 2017 at 10:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 23

Hi!

We have married friends who will be in our wedding. The husband is the best man and his wife is a bridesmaid. Is it weird for them not to walk together? I have 5 girls and my FH has three guys; so two of the guys would be escorted by two girls anyway. How would you do the processional? Could the best man, his wife, and my MOH all three walk together followed by another group of three?

    I don't think it's weird for them to not walk together. Do they seem like they care if they are walking together or not?

    I don't think it's weird. My bestfriend was my MOH and her husband was one of DH's groomsman. They didn't walk together. Same for her wedding. It's only for a few minutes so I don't think it matters too much.

    I don't think that should matter.

    I have uneven sides and plan to have everyone enter alone and pair them up on the way out.

    Or

    Thanks ladies! None of them are the type who would seem to care about that. I just didn't know what the proper etiquette was.

    To be honest they probably won't care! They know how weddings work. And I think your idea is fine!

    I have 2 couples in our wedding party and the couples are not matched because of MOH/BM.

    They are totally fine not walking together.

    They can walk apart from each other on this one. We have spouses in the bridal party and they're walking together but our best man is married to a bridesmaid and they aren't walking the ceremony together. They are walking into the reception together though.

    That's ironic the best man is married to one of my bridesmaids too! They are both walking with other people. We have even sides so he is walking with the MOH and she us walking with another groomsman. In our wedding all the groomsmen will be up front with FH already and the girls will walk solo, and then they are paired only to come back down the aisle.

    I have 3 married couples in my bridal party! I'm doing the same as Bee--they are not walking together in the church because one is best man/bridesmaid, MOH/groomsman, etc. but they will walk in together to the reception.

    Not weird. My sister is MOH and her husband is a GM so they won't be walking together either. It's fine. It's only a few minutes of the day anyway.

    We have uneven sides and the best man is FH's brother, his girlfriend is a bridesmaid. We're having our groomsmen process first and then the bridesmaids.

    FH and I were in a wedding last summer, he was the best man and I was the last bridesmaid to walk. Wasn't weird at all. The same couple will be in our wedding this year and the arrangement will be the same with the husband being the BM and his wife being the last bridesmaid.

    I don't think it's weird. I have a couple in my bridal party, a bridesmaid and bridesman. The bridesmaid will be walking with her ex! It just worked out that way, but nobody cares. Our whole wedding party is close friends.

    Not weird at all.

    We have 6 in our wedding party; 3 guys and 3 girls.

    2 married couples, 1 single gal and 1 married guy whose spouse is not part of the wedding party.

    I have 2 girls, 1 guy and my fiance has 2 guys and 1 girl.

    We plan to have them walk in based on where they will stand next to us. The couples will all be mixed up. I doubt anyone cares.

    Yea I wouldn't worry too much about it. To quote my sister, it's 2 minutes out of the whole evening, we can handle it, just do whatever feels right"

    It shouldn't be a big deal that they aren't walking together. They probably already expect to walk with different people since the best man and mid of honor are paired together. You should be fine having the 2 groomsmen each walk with 2 bridesmaids.

    I'd have them walk together, but wouldn't see anything wrong if they didn't
