Two groomsmen can't attend

I think it's rude to in a sense kick them out, I'd just leave it uneven..

I don't get people's obsession with sides being even. It is what it is, have uneven sides no one will care.

ETA it would be so rude and inconsiderate to kick 2 of your bridesmaids out and assign them as ushers because you're more worried about even sides than your friendships.

It will be fine to be uneven. Your photographer will find creative ways for the photos.

6 days before? This has taken the concept of rude to a new level.

Uneven is more than fine!!!

It will be fine uneven, but wow I'd be furious about the groomsmen decided they can't attend so close to the wedding. I'm sorry you and your FH are going through that!

Let it be uneven. Honestly nobody is going to remember that at your wedding there were more BM's than GM's. Don't punish your BM's just because the GM's are rude.

It's okay to have uneven sides. Did they say why they can't come?

Why not just have the last two walk together and go stand at the front. Why kick them out because two of the guys bailed?

Agreed with PP - just leave it uneven. You can have them walk down together if you want, but they should be standing by your side. Think of it this way: the people standing by your side are the ones you want standing next to you as your marriage goes forward. Do you really want to ask them to sit down instead?

Uneven is fine, if your worried about people walking down the aisle perhaps try a different format. Here it's tradition that the men are already standing up at the top, the groom and his best man and groomsmen. They are normally there chatting with guests prior to ceremony. Then walking up the aisle we have whatever little people are involved (ring bearer, flower girl) then bridesmaids one at a time, MOH and then bride and who ever is giving her away (if your doing that). No one would notice uneveness if you do it that way. Being honest though it makes no difference.

PP has it ever occurred maybe there was a good reason the couldn't attend? You sound like you'd be a great friend *rolls eyes*

I'd leave it uneven. I'd be upset if I was a BM and bought my dress and was told 6 days before I wasn't in the wedding anymore. Uneven parties are fine.

Let your BMs stand up with you. Geez. It's not their fault that the GM backed out. That would be so rude to tell them they have to be ushers and no longer "allow" them to stand up with you. Uneven sides don't matter.

The GM situation is unfortunate but that doesn't mean you have to treat your BMs horribly in return!

Leave it. Your wedding party isn't recreating the Last Supper. It doesn't have to be even, and you don't insult the people who have supported you by accommodating those who bails.

Most of my BP's are uneven. It's not a big deal.

My matron of honor backed out so now I'm having two bridesmaids walk down with one groomsmen. Good luck!
