somebody said that no matter what if one of the bridesmaids or groomsmen are married to somebody, that somebody must be their partner. Is this true?

No absolutely not. People usually walk in their order of importance to the bride or groom and sometimes, it doesnt work out that spouses will walk with each other. BUT, sometimes at the reception if you have the bridal party dance, it might be nice to let the married couples dance together.
Good luck!

i think that they don't have to be because sometimes the brides friends are not married to the groomsmen so you should be able to have who ever you want in your wedding party. if both the groomsman and his wife are in the wedding then it would make sense to have them together unless 1 is the best man and the wife is just a brides maid not maid of honor.

Absolutely not. The bridesmaids and groomsmen are lined up according to the wishes of the bride and groom. Whoever told you this is completely off base (as in not even in the same ball park).

Nope, not at all. My husband has been a groomsman in 2 weddings and I have NEVER been a bridesmaid.
Edit - For Debbie who posted below me....you are so right. It would have been nice. My husband and I eloped and haven't ever walked down the aisle together. It would have been a very quiet and private renewal of vows along with celebrating the joining of our friends. Ah well.....

No. it is often the case that one of the couple might be friends of the bride or groom, but not the other. It would however, be polite to include his wife in some way since he is a part of the wedding....like have her take in wedding gifts...or some other smaller task at the wedding so she feels included.
It is not however, required. She should be included with him in all the wedding activities...like the rehearsal (she can come watch), the rehearsal dinner, etc.....she is included...but does not need to be part of the wedding party itself.

No it is not true you do not have to pair up couples, you do not have to have both of them in the wedding party either say if your groom chooses a best man the mans wife does not even have to be in the wedding party at all. It is up to the two of you.

NOT true at all BUT......they may enjoy it alot if they are!! Think how romantic it is for them to be that dressed up, having to walk down the isle all over again, dancing and being in pictures as a couple, rekindling their emotions from their own wedding........you'd be giving them an extra gift that will only mean something to them.....

No the bride picks the order of whom she wants on her side and the groom picks the order of who's on his side....there are cases when one or the other of a married couple isn't even in the wedding.

Nope. Your wedding - your rules.
But, it does look kinda awkward to those in attendance. But hey, they might both enjoy the dance more.....

Not necessarily, but it does make more sense, just because weddings hold *couple/romantic* auras in the air, that it would seem more sensible to pair spouses together, otherwise, there may be some jealousies and/or hurt feelings.
