How can an odd wedding party walk down the aisle?

Okay this is confusing, but this is what she wants...

1. Her brother to walk her down the aisle.

2. Two flower girls.

3. No ring bearers.

4. Five Bridesmaids - including the matron of honor.

5. Four Grooms men - including the Best Man.

... okay here's id the tricky part

6. the brother that walks her down the aisle, is also one of the five groomsmen that is to stand up throughout the ceremony.



Very, very confusing.....

any suggestions?

How can an odd wedding party walk down the aisle?
After he walks her down the aisle, he calmly walks over and joins the other men up front.



First, the bridesmaids, two, two then the matron of honor by herself.



next, the two flower girls, side by side.



Finally, the bride and her escort/brother.



The groomsmen can either escort the four bridesmaids, still leaving the matron of honor to walk by herself. If she has panache, she can carry this off as a signal honor.

The Bestman comes out with the groom he does not walk down an aisle!

The flower girls can come down together

The brother walking her down is not a big thing once he walks her down and he can move over to the rest of the standing groomsmen!

There still leaves two groomsmen to four bridesmaids!!

Have the groomsmen since its only three plus the best man come out when the groom comes out behind the officiant. The bridesmaid can walk down the asile and when they procession out the groomsmen can lead two bridesmaids out on both arms!!

Make it work!
Reply:After the brother walks her down, he simply joins the line with the other groomsmen.



One of my bridesmaids also did the music. When she walked up the aisle, she just continued up and to the side of the alter, where the organ was. Nobody even noticed. Also, my brother (a groomsman) walked both of my grandmothers (together) then circled around to walk my mother down, then circled again to walk down as a part of the party.



**Actually, my whole wedding party walked down alone. First the guys, then the girls, then the flower girls (two together, no ring bearer), then the MOH. Have her brother be the FIRST guy to walk down, so he has enough time to circle back.



If you have something in mind, you just make it work. Trust me, it will! :-)



Good luck!
Reply:The flower girls go down the aisle,then the maids and groomsmen go side by side as couples, then the maid of honor walks alone, ahead of the brother and the bride. Then Brother stands slightly behind the bride and groom and waits until the question who gives this woman is answered by him, then he takes his place at the alter with the groomsmen.

Or, skip having the groomsmen come down the aisle, and have them come out a side door by the alter. That's we do here in this local. Then the brother can escort the bride, wait for the who gives question, and take his place at the alter with the groomsmen.

I like the side door answer, less confusing.

If these do not work, the brother can take maid of honor down after the others, and walk back for the bride. If it is a very long aisle, forget this option.
Reply:The walker/groomsman walks down the aisle with his bridesmaid partner. Then when it's time to escort the bride, which comes last anyway, he can either walk back down the main aisle to walk the bride up, or slip down the side aisle and claim her at the back of the church.
Reply:i have seen this done all she has to have done is once he gives her away step to the side with the rest of the groomsmen and it will be fine.
Reply:Often the groomsmen do not come up the aisle. They hang out with the groom in a room to the front of the church and all come out together before the bridesmaids come up the aisle.



This is very tidy and avoids the whole pairing up issue.





Even if you DO want the groomsmen to come up the aisle, it isn't a big issue. Coming up the aisle in this order:

- flower girl 1, then flower girl 2 or both together

- bridesmaid 4 and groomsman 4

- bridesmaid 3 and groomsman 3

- bridesmaid 2 and best man

- MOH

- bride and brother

- when bride and brother get to the front of the church, brother takes his place in with the groomsmen. They shuffle a wee bit but everyone will be looking at the bride, not the shuffling.



OR If you don't want the best man coming up the aisle, have one of the ushers come up the aisle with one of the bridesmaids.



OR Have 2 of the groomsmen come up with 2 of the bridesmaids, have the 3rd and 4th bridesmaids come up together followed by the MOH alone.



LOTS and lots of choices, all of which are perfectly acceptable.
Reply:Let the matron of honor walk by herself.
Reply:The MOH can walk alone right before the bride walks down the aisle with her brother.



That way the rest of the groomsmen and bridesmaids can partner up.
Reply:The groomsmen come in with the groom from the side.



The two flower girls, the bridesmaids, the maid of honor, then the bride and brother.



Then the brother discreatly moves to his groomsman position by the groom so he can escort a bridesmaid back up the isle.



Easy.
