numbers never really mattered to me. :) if that is what you want to do, then do it. i am glad you are not trying to add into another girl just to make the numbers add up, just have the people you want in the wedding.

I think it's TOTALLY great! I'm getting married in October and I have three bridesmaids. My fiance has six groomsmen (his 2 brothers, my 3 brothers, and his best friend). I wasn't about to just start adding people into the wedding just so that it would "look" better. I think it ends up being less meaningful when people are added just to make things uniform.
Also, I think it's fine for each member of the bridal party to walk down the aisle alone. Start with a groomsmen then alternate boy, girl, etc. and I don't think it will be as noticeable as one guy being alone, or one trio.
Whatever you do, pick the people that are important to YOU and that for years to come you will be thrilled you had each of them by your side. :)

Don't fret, Barbara and Groom. All that is "needed" at A STANDARD WEDDING are (1) The Best Man, maybe 2 Groomsmen, and an Usher, along with the Bridesmaids (undetermined number) and the Ring-bearer. If all comes down to the Nitty-gritty, you could opt to have a FLASH-Wedding; where each participant is *picked* from the audience at random.

Have whoever you want. Don't worry about numbers. My cousins are from a family of 9 - 6 boys, 3 girls. All of their weddings have had 2 to 3 times as many boys. They've handled it in many ways: 2 guys walking 1 girl down the aisle; 2 or 3 guys walk in, followed by a girl alone; all the guys walk in in pairs and line up in front, all of the women follow, walking alone.
Have your brother in your wedding and don't worry about anyone else.
Congratulations and good luck.

tSure it's okay! You can have them walk separately down the aisle, or let 2 of the groomsmen escort your maid of Honor (one on each side) and one for the bridesmaids. If your father is unable to walk you down the aisle, have your brother do that instead of walking with the bridesmaids. Or just have everyone walk alone, but alternating...Boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl, boy....
It's your wedding, and more important to have the people who are close to you than To have the numbers balance.

Being odd is fine as long as you balance where everyone stands and how they come down the aisle for pictures...have all of the guys at the alter already for the entrance and the girls walk down alone then when pairing up to leave, have your brother go out right before the maid of honor and best man and escort your mother out also to balance the head table, do a short 6' table just for the 2 of you and your witnesses and do another table (round) next to it or right in front of it for all of the attendants that way nothing looks off balance in pictures

Of course it's okay! I've been to weddings with different numbers of bridesmaids and groomsmen... One lucky bridesmaid will just have to walk away with a groomsman on either side :)

It's your wedding, anything is ok! But it might be a little sad if one groomsmen has to walk alone down the aisle. Actually that's really not a big deal!

You can do whatever you want at your wedding. But to be perfectly honest, I've never liked the look of uneven attendants. Do you have any girl family members that you're close to who could fill that little void? Such as a cousin, niece, etc.?

First of all, you have 3 bridesmaids, including your maid of honor. He has 4 groomsmen. You don't have groomsmen -- it is his choice but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't ask him if your brother could be included as an usher (especially to walk your mother down the aisle).

I don't think it is a big deal! IF you can find another girl then great if not no biggie. I like the idea of them walking seperately down the aisle boy, girl, boy etc. It is your wedding day have whoever you want!!! Enjoy!
