How many people were in your wedding party? If you were to do it all over again would you have the same people?

mrshall1027 · October 2014

I had 4 bridesmaids and H had 5 groomsmen. I would not have the same people, unfortunately.

There was major drama with my MOH throughout the whole planning process and she managed to taint every prewedding event and ended up going back to my house the night of our wedding and sleeping with one of the groomsmen (I find it very disrespectful to have a one night stand in someone else's home). We are no longer friends because of the things she did.

I would hope that H wouldn't have one of his groomsmen (the one my MOH slept with) because he is now in jail. He was a childhood friend and I think H felt obligated to have him in the wedding party because they were so close in the past. He lived with us for about 8 months up until the wedding and he was such a mooch. But, that's a whole other story!

We had 5 BMs and 5 GMs...I wish we had 4 and 4. That's all I can say about that.

We had 5 on each side. I would keep all ten of them the same. I would change an usher though. He was late and missed pictures. He is a stereo typical meat head.

I'd keep ours the same.

But I'd go back and tell my past self that don't be upset when DH's mom and sisters act like a pain all weekend, skip going to the salon with me to get their hair done (which they asked me to set an appointment for all 4 of them) but don't tell me until I'm already in the chair getting my hair done, yell at the waitress at the rehearsal dinner, tell me the food is gross at the reception, sit in the corner and scowl, and leave the wedding early.

I had 9 girls and 5 guys.

If i could do it all over again I would just have my sister and 3 cousins. The other girls (H's sister and cousins drove me crazy with their dresses, took forever to get ready and then missed a couple pics)

H's sister said she may or may not be pregnant and ordering her dress turned into a big deal and I just kept saying to her talk to the dress shop and see what they recommend, she ordered her dress in the largest size and then when she wasnt pregnant I got crap bc she had to get her dress taken in so much, umm i didnt tell you what size to order your dress in.

H's cousin ordered her dress and then when it came in, she had gained weight and you could totally tell, they blamed it on the store that they ordered the wrong size...it was just a hassle i didnt need.

We had 12 total - 6 on each side. I would not trade my wedding party for the world. They were and still are awesome!

catwine · October 2014

We each had 3 for our sides. I wouldn't change any of them! I had my best friend in the whole world, my best friend from high school and my future SIL.

LDubHawksFan · October 2014

3 on each side, and one of my BM didn't make it. We would change a thing. They were our best friends.

sjs1013 · October 2014

I have 5, H had 3. I would have taken 1 friend out. We are still very close and she was a great bridesmaid. We're at different life milestones and at times it was hard to coordinate with wedding events, like trying on dresses.

mana8503 · October 2014

4 girls, 3 guys. The only one I would change would be my sister. My mom told her she was moh, so I had 2 - her and my bff. My sister forgot H's name in her moh speech. We'd been together for 3 years before the wedding. Really?!

snuff9861 · October 2014

We had 4 each. I would have added a friend and I wish H wouldn't have had one of his groomsman. Maybe added my brother in, but he was the MC.

islandmonkey8 · October 2014

We had 5 and 5. Redo it'd be 3 and 4. We'd take out all 3 of my siblings since my brother refused to do pictures or anything really at all. And my sisters both caused issues with the other girls. We have never been close but I had felt obligated to include them. Now, I know there was no reason for me to feel that they HAD to be included.

consciousdear88 · October 2014

We had four bridesmaids, three groomsmen and a grooms woman. The number was fine, but I'd definitely change who was who.

The two bridesmaids who were not related to me did SO much more than my two sisters did. I probably would have bumped one of them up to maid of honor status (only reason I didn't was because of pressure from my mom)

We had so many issues with his side as well. We didn't know his brother would be a groomsman until the night before the wedding. One of his other guys had to work, so we had to find a filler person at the last minute.

PattySmith101 · October 2014

We had 4 on my side and 2 on his - would keep it the same on both sides!

xxjen015 · October 2014

We each had 5. If the wedding was still 2 years ago, absolutely would have kept the same people. If it were today, I have a bridesmaid I'd change out, not because she wasn't a good BM or we aren't friends now, we are, but we aren't as close as we used to be. We were drifting a little bit then, but I still love her dearly. I don't know about H's groomsmen. We have gotten close to 2 other guys and grown apart from 2 of his GMs, but we're still friends with them.

minionlover · October 2014

We had one on each side - his brother and my brother. I wouldn't change who we had. It was perfect for us.
