Okay, I am getting my brother to be my best man. My fiancé wants to have 2 bridesmaids and one maid of honor as they are all very close to her. Well I am worried on the idea of having such a difference of numbers, and how to plan that. Also, I am unable to equal out the numbers due to having my friends being in the military or different state. Kind of short on real close friends that I would want to have as a groomsman. How would I go about asking my fiancé to choose one or two (as I have seen 2 and 1 work)? Or, is there some way 3 and 1 can work?

What difference does it make how many people are standing up there with you.. she has her best friends with her . and you have your brother only because your friends are in the military.. this is the happiest day of your lives.. leave it as it is.. Don't start your marriage out with telling her she already has to give something up such as a special friend of hers.
The people will be watching the two of you not who you have standing beside you.. If you are worried about numbers does she have brothers that will stand on your side.. other wise don't worry about it.. have a wonderful and beautiful day with what you have there.
don't know why anyone would look for problems on this day. there are plenty to come later on..
Just get married and worry about keeping her happy

Daughter can also be your flower woman. Depending to your sisters' age (12 or more youthful) can also be Jr. Bridesmaids or (thirteen or older) a Bridesmaid. If you are almost your sister in regulation possibly have her as your MOH or a bridesmaid The a million near buddy could be a MOH or bridesmaid. If you are rather almost your niece, a bridesmaid too. The moms will simply be the moms. They can mild every of your unmarried candles that you simply 2 will mild the middle cohesion candle (when you decide upon to do this) Other than that, they simply sit down and smile. Brothers (step bro too) can also be groomsmen. His dad must be the excellent guy if he is almost him. At least wherein I'm from, that is right etiquette. Siblings must regularly be your attendants, without reference to age. A marriage ceremony rite is not just bringing you and your fiance in combination as one, however additionally it is becoming a member of 2 households. Congrats at the engagement!

The other dudes, who aren't the best man, are usually just ushers anyway. Pick 2 guys who you are comfortable with, and they will be the ushers in the back of the church. Your best man will stand next to you, and the MOH will stand next to the bride. the other two will be off to the side anyway, as will be the ushers.
BTW, do NOT in any way shape or form ask the bride to choose between her friends!!!! She has been planning this wedding since she was 5 years old!! She will resent you for making her choose, and feelings will be hurt and friendships lost!!! If she loses a freind she's known longer than you, then YOU are doomed as well!! You might as well start saving up for alimony NOW!

well first..do not ask your fiance to cut her numbers down...this is very special for her and she wants her closest friends up there to share in the experience.
your best may escort all three women, or have all of them walk line-abreast when leaving. you and your fiance will have tomake an arrangement where everyone is included. Not having a one o one groomsman-bridesmaid ratio will not taint your ceremony in any way. You and your fiance will have to make some kind of an arrangement.
Have you and your fiance received an feedback from your bestman, her maid of honor or her maids? Get some insight from them.

Have the best man walk the maid of honor down the aisle then the two other brides maids escort eachother. I do not think that you need to excuse someone if your fiancee wants them to stand with her on her wedding day.
Who cares about tradition, the important thing is that you two are happy and sharing the day with people that you love and care about. CONGRATS!

i would have the best man standing at the front with you in the beginning. then have the best man exit the church with the maid of honor and the two bridesmaids exit by themselves. when introducing at the reception intoduce everyone seperately or rather don't announce them at all... i've seen a lot of varitions on this but it's possible for it to still look nice... don't worry.

Have only the girls walk down the isle. Have the best man standing up there from the begining. Then when it comes to the reception and you have to introduce them do it individually. It can be done.

Can you have the wives of the men that cannot be you grooms men stand in for them? Or do you have any close girl friends? Just because they are women doesn't mean that they have to stand on you wifes side.

Just have the girls walk by themselves and during the recessional have them walk alone again and have the maid of honor walk with the best man. good luck planning your wedding.

Do you friends that are female or just go with the flow of things. Girls can be part of your group or ask dad, cousins and family that are important to you. congrats to you on this special occasion.
