My sister ran into a similar scenario for her wedding. Except in her case, she wanted to have an extra bridesmaid. In the end, there was an uneven number of wedding attendants (4 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen), but what she did was have both my other sister and I (who were bridesmaids), be escorded down the aisle by our brother (who was one of the groomsmen). In all of the wedding pictures with the bridal party, the three of us siblings were grouped together. She had a great photographer who chose poses for photos that didn't accentuate the unevenness. I'm not sure if this helps or not...just wanted to give you another option, if you wanted to have him as a groomsman.

Hi All! I'm Kerri Born and raised in Whitby, Ontario (east of Toronto) Lived in Ottawa for 4 years Recently moved to Halifax Nice to meet everyone!

congrats on locking in your plans- you must be excited! I too am a cruise bride.

Great idea for a post! I've been looking for some ideas as to what to get for my Fiance. 1. I have no idea what I want 2. I was thinking either a digital HD video camera or a nice watch

I've been working with the same vendor on etsy to customize some handkerchiefs for my own wedding. Cathy is great to work with!

What an incredible video- it looks like it captures every precious moment! It's so nice that you have that to relive your special day. Congratulations!

I just designed some car door magnets for my brother-in-law's business (he's a landscaper). They came in today and they look great. I always get the cheapest shipping option and usually have the stuff at my door within a week and a half.

Glue the fronts and the backs onto the cardstock squares. Let dry. 4. Punch a hole in the top corner using the 1/8" hole punch. 5. Attach ribbon. If anyone needs help changing the colors of the starfish to your theme colors let me know! Fonts used: -Snidane for around the front square -Scriptina for the bride and groom names on the front square -Angelina for the guest names on the back square Here's the template: These look so great- thanks for sharing! I intend to borrow your template but am having a hard time trying to change the starfish colours...are you able to give me some guidance? Thank you kindly!

Your pics are stunning- congratulations on what looked to be a successful wedding!

I'm going to bring signs with us that say "thank" and "you" and ask our photographer to take a picture of us holding them. We'll be using that pic as the front image on our thank you cards.

What a beautiful dress! I think it would look so cute shortened. You'd get your money's worth for sure- it's so practical!

I am doing OOT bags that will have some favours in them. In my OOT bags, I'm including starfish wine stoppers, luggage tags, beach towels, ocean themed wine charms, etc. I'm also doing small starfish picture frames as placecards for dinner (we have a starfish theme going on). Between all of those things, I think I've got favours and OOT covered.

Thanks for the tip! I loved yours so much, I think I'm going to look into having some seals made for our invitations.

I voted for pork because the chicken has cottage cheese, which in my experience, a fair number of people do not enjoy.

What a great tip- thanks so much for sharing!

Both look great on you but I think you made the right choice with #1.

I was 8 and my sister was 7 when we were both junior bridesmaids in a wedding- I think 8 is okay!

Beautiful! I love the neckline- you look stunning.

Welcome from a fellow St. Thomas Bride!

Great Post! I was curious about this too! For the ladies who have done this- has your coordinator provided all of the supplies or will I have to look to bring sand and a container? Thanks!
