I'm going to be a bridesmaid...

My future SIL (my husband brothers fiance) and BIL have set their date 5/27/11 and she asked me to be a bridesmaids, she was one of mine. I don't mind being one, then I was thinking and I know this is a little premature and small to be thinking about but if my H is best man and I'm not MOH (which i'm guessing i'm not since she just asked me to be a bm) who will I be walking with and who will H be walking with, since we are married now shouldn't we be paired together, or is this a stupid request. If we are not paired together would it be rude to ask her to change it? (H not be best man) or is that crazy?

Re: I'm going to be a bridesmaid...

  • I've been to weddings were husband and wives are not paired together (husband BM and wife just a reg BM).  I think that's the norm, since your position is based on the couples' choices.  I wouldn't ask her to change, I do think it would be rude.
  • I don't think it matters at all who walks whom down the aisle.  I think it would be very rude to ask her to change it (try and think back about how you would have felt about such a request!).

  • Yea, I get yalls point. When we paired our bm and gm up we paired by couples, because our party DID say they wanted to be with their significant others.

  • I agree, I don't think it matters who you walk down with.  I don't know what type of relationship you might have with her, but if it were me I wouldn't ask her to change because it's her wedding not mine.

    True I might be trying to micro manage! LOL It was just a thought.

  • I wouldn't mind who I walked with, but it would bug me if they made us do a WP dance and I had to dance with someone who wasn't my husband.  I think those dances are dumb, anyway, though.

    I wouldn't say anything.  For all you know, you won't be walking with someone - at a lot of weddings, the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk solo, anyway! I definitely wouldn't request that my husband not be the best man, since it has to do with his relationship to the groom and not someone in the wedding party, and I probably wouldn't bring it up at all because it's such a minor thing.

  • I also don't think it matters who you're paired with, although it would make the most sense to me to keep couples together. But I definitely wouldn't bring it up to the bridge - that's not your place.

    Like Laura said, I highly doubt even if you are "paired" with someone that you'll be going down the aisle together and you won't really be with them the rest of the day anyway - it will mostly be the whole BP.

  • Yea, I don't think they would do one of those dances, but that would be wierd.

  • Our one couple was paired together but that was how they fell in line. They wouldn't have cared either way. I personally would let it be and it's only up and back so 5 min tops? No biggy IMHO.
  • I would definitely not ask them to change. My SIL was a BM and her husband was Best Man, its not a big deal
