hamme Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I was asked to be a late BM and joyfully accepted...NEVER AGAIN! There was resentment from the other BM. I would roll with 2 BM and let the non-MOH have two cute guys! she will love the attention... make it fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochamakes3 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Sell the dress online and just have 2. Now you know who really stands up for you. And be grateful that everyone else has held your hand and heart throughout your wonderful day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82turtles Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Agreed. I think you should keep your 2 rather than just have a 'filler'. It's very likely there would be hurt feelings or resentment from someone if you did that! Having an uneven bridal party isn't a big deal; it's more about having the ones nearest and dearest stand by your side. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilicat Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks so much for the quick replies. Great idea about allowing the 1 BM walk down the isle with 2 GMs. Think I will use that one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tris Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have the same situation, except mine hasn't offically bailed yet, but she's living in Australia and although she said she'd be there she hasn't made a single effort thus far... I know she won't be there. It really sucks... but we're totally have 2-3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinemeuwec Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I am in a similar situation she hasnt booked yet, but still insists shes coming...my thoughts were to keep the same people, not add anyone new but have the guys already standing at the altar and just have the girls walk down the aisle, then no one has to walk alone or be awkward. The other option would be to have the maid of honor walk alone and the rest with a partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGreene Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I was in a wedding last year where there was an extra groomsman (the groom had an honorary spot in memory of his deceased brother so there was 4 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen) and the groomsmen started out at the altar and on the way back down the aisle and for pictures, the best man and matron of honor were together, and one bridesmaid and groomsman were together, and the third groomsman had the other 2 bridesmaids on each arm. It was cute and he looked like a ladies man! What guy wouldn't like to have a pretty girl on each arm??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1elephant Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 we had 2 groomsmen and 3bms. my sister walked w/ his brother, and his best friend walked w/ my two best friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smille50 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I would just do 2. We were going to have 5 and 5 on each side, but 2 groomsman can't come now so we will have 3 and 5. I wouldn't be too worried about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
