Who does my bridesman walk with?

Taylor, on August 8, 2018 at 07:45 Posted in Wedding ceremony 0 8
Ok,

So I have 4 bridesmaids and 1 bridesman. My fiancé had 4 groomsmen but recently added another. So now the numbers are even. At first I didn’t want any of the groomsmen to have to walk with my bridesman because I mean of course the guys want to be paired with a girl. But even so, I don’t think it’s weird by any means for two guys to walk beside each other leaving the ceremony, but I’m wondering how I should work it for reception grand entry and paired dances?

Adding more girls on my side isn’t an option. I’m not going to be that person with “fillers” lol.

    I have 2 girls and a guy on my side and he has 2 guys on his. My plan is for my bridesmaid, bridesman and groomsman to leave as a threesome with the the girl in the middle. Grand entrance I’m doing one at a time so everyone gets their turn in the spotlight. For the dancing, i’ll Probably just tell them to pick whoever they want out of the crowd!

    I haven't seen people do paired dances with their bridal party... At that point they usually dance with their significant others or pair up with remaining boy/girls...

    I think doing a faster paced dance with your bridal party would work better for the boy/girl imbalance. The grand entry can be totally funny with two dudes coming in acting too cool for school (oh jeez, can you tell how lame I am?! haha)

    Walking down the aisle you can totally have 2 guys too. Maybe even make them the last pair, have them do something funny, or act like bridal security... haha.

    I have one bridesman, and my fiancé has a best ma'am. However, the best ma'am will be walking with my maid of honour, and my bridesman will be walking with one of the groomsman - they are good friends and plan to make it funny. We have no problem with this - but that's us - we're silly and fun as a couple, so it suits us.

    We aren't doing paired dances, however - just a couple's first dance, that way we don't have to worry about that.

    Thanks for the insight everyone! I like the idea of a couple girls walking with 2 guys! The dancing I’ll still have to figure something out. Like I said if two guys walked together down the isle it wouldn’t be a problem but the dancing was where I’m really hung up! Thanks again!

    I don't think there is anything wrong with having 2 guys walk together. They don't have to link arms or anything, just walk beside each other.

    Option a) you could ask if any of his groomsmen are outgoing enough to walk down with the bridesman? I know that if we asked our two best men to walk down the aisle together that they would and they would do it in style Smiley sexy

    option b) have everyone walk down separate? I am thinking of doing this myself. First the groomsmen make their way down one by one then the bridesmaids one by one and then you at the end. I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of people did back in the day anyway

    Maybe you could do more of a fast pace dance rather than a slow dance. That way you don’t have to worry about pairing people up and they could all just dance as a group!

    So you have 4 pairs and then one groomsmen that is extra and your bridesgroom that is also extra. I would just add them to one of the pairs, so 2 brideamaids would have 2 partners. Depending how wide your isle you could have them walk down the isle like that as well.

    Im sort of in the same position that I have 4 bridesmaids and possibly one bridesman. My fiancé has 3 groomsmen and one groomsmaid. If my bridesman makes it then my two maids of honour will walk down with the best man. If my bridesman isn’t able to make it then we will still have the two maids of honour walk down with the best man and then the last pair would have a bridesmaid, groomsmen and groomsmaid. I mean I’m sure for the dances you could just get them to change half way through songs or do 2 somgs.
