So my fiancee and I have decided that I am going to have a maid of honor and one bridesmaid, and he is just having one best man. This is not the dilemma....
We know this is the way it will be, but I am looking for someone with experience on how to handle the logistics of it all.
Also, to make is a little more complicated, the best man is in a serious relationship with my bridesmaid. I don't want to have them walk together, because I want my maid of honor to have her correct place.
If you have experience with this, please tell me how you handled it! Thanks!!

There are a couple of ways to do this...and you can choose different options for walking up the aisle and walking down the aisle.
My only real experience with it involved a wedding with more groomsmen than bridesmaids, but they had the groomsmen up with the groom from the beginning and the bridesmaids walked in alone. You could also have the best man walk in with a girl on each arm, or just have him walk in with the maid of honor, while the bridesmaid walks alone.
On the way out, you could have the bridesmaid walk out last with maybe the officiant. Or the groomsman with both women. Or again, alone. You could also have them all walk alone, single file with the maid of honor, best man, and then the bridesmaid.
As for them being in a serious relationship, I wouldn't worry about it. A groomsman and bridesmaid in my wedding were a married couple and the way it worked out they walked with different people and I don't think they could have cared less. It's just the walk and for the rest of the reception the best man can hang out with his girlfriend.
Good luck and I hope you don't stress out too much over it. Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will look great.

The Best man could enter with the groom and stand in the front while both girls walk down the aisle seperately. But just because the best man & your bridesmaid would walk down the aisle together would not take away from your MOH walking in, alone, paving the way for you.
Are you concerned about the standing arrangement at the altar? Draw some different configurations to see what you like best. Remember none of this is written in stone.

I don't see what the problem is. Have the maid of honor and best man walk together and the bridesmaid on her own. Even though they're in a relationship, it's your wedding, they'll understand.
And, maybe when the cermony is over he can escort them both UP the aisle, at the same time.
Either way ... it's YOUR wedding ... do what YOU want.

Usually the bridesmaids and the MOH walk down the aisle alone and the men are all ready standing there waiting. Then when it's time to leave, the bride and groom leave together and the MOH and best man leave together. I would have the best man walk arm in arm with both girls. I've seen a lot of people do this when they have uneven amounts of people and it looks cute. Even if you were to have the girls walk down with the guys, the MOH is supposed to walk alone anyway, and the best man is supposed to stand up there with the groom and not walk down the ailse. My MOH was married to one of the groomsmen, but not the best man. So, they had to leave the ceremony with others that weren't their spouse. And she walked down the aisle alone. She is one of the people that had an uneven number of attendant's (one of hers broke her foot...ouch!), so one of the girls left the ceremony with a guy on each arm, it was cute.

Quite simple actually, many weddings have the men already standing at the altar and don't walk down. The brides maids come in one by one so the MOH will walk alone. They dont have to walk together. Only in very large weddings with several people in the wedding party are they paired to save time. My wedding coordinator told me this.

Just have the maid of honor go down by herself and the bridesmaid be escorted.

You could always have them each exit one at a time, since there is not that many of them it will not take that much longer for them to exit. Plus this will keep from any hard feelings or anything. It would look nice and still get the job done.
Good luck!
