Good for you Vav!!! that is the only way to do it!!! YOUR way!! lots of people will always have opinions.. but in the end.. it is all about the bride and groom and what they want!

Thanks! And I see we're getting married around the same time. I'm Feb 20th but in DR, punta cana. We almost chose Ja too.

Wow, those are some tough situations!  I don't think the numbers have to match evenly at all.  We PLANNED to have even numbers but it didn't work out that way (my hubby's cousin got sick and another cousin had an urgent business trip same weekend).  We had a blast and I would have felt REALLY weird asking someone to fill in last minute just to keep the numbers even.  Nobody likes being 2nd choice.

I agree that numbers don't have to match but I think the first story is not so weird.  Maybe its me but it seems like the person was caught in a bind when his friends couldn't stand for him at his wedding so he had to ask your FI to stand with him.  Although last minute, its still an honor that he would ask.  And it was really generous of your FI to agree to do so.   The second story... well that's just a little weird but maybe the MOH just wanted her bf as her partner and in all the pics.  It seems like your MOH is making it all about her.
