Bridesmaid and groomsman are married- is it okay to separate them?

Aimee, on December 4, 2016 at 7:54 PM Posted in Planning 0 29

Hey all,

So I have 5 bridesmaid and my FH has 5 groomsmen. His sister is one of my bridesmaids and her husband (his brother in law) he has as a groomsman, although they aren't very close. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother, and he has 2 brothers and a sister, so the order in our lining up actually works out very cute in my mind. My sister is my MOH, his brother is his best man, then my other sister lines up with his other brother, and my brother would line up with his sister. However, I want to make sure it isn't weird or rude to line my brother with his sister for pictures and stuff when her husband will be there as well.

    I don't see what would be weird about it.

    I'd keep the couple together, personally.

    I wouldn't find that rude at all. I think it is expected that the MOH and BM would be lined up together.

    I think that is fine if it works out best for your lineup. I would seat them together at the reception though.

    I wouldn't find it rude but if your worried about it, you can always have them come in individually so then they only walk out or dance out paired up

    We had several married people in our bridal party. We lined them up by how long we knew each person. Only one couple ended up walking together. As far as I know everyone was cool with it. The only thing anyone said was, "I wish I would have got a few photos with my husband" from our photographer and they weren't even talking about walking down the aisle. Which I thought was kind of weird since I'm the one who paid thousands of dollars for our photographer to shoot our wedding and not their personal photo shoot.

    I was separated from my FH at my SIL wedding and I didn't have any problem with it.

    However you want to line them up is up to you and FH. I have a married couple and they are going to be spilt up for my wedding. It's just how it lines up. And they are fine with it.

    The wedding FH and I went to in September had their siblings in the bridal party and one was a couple (best man (groom's brother) and a bridesmaid (best man's girlfriend)). They were lined up by how close they were to the bride and groom. They walked into the reception with the person they left the church aisle with, and danced with them too for the bridal party dance (I dread that btw). They also had dinner seated at their respective bridal party side. So yea they were separated for the wedding. It wasn't a big deal and that's the way I would have done it if I had a couple in the bridal party. You go by whose closest to you, not other's relationships.

    I don't think it's rude, but we kept our married bridesmaid and groomsmen together.

    I don't think it's a big deal Smiley smile my sister had that happen at a wedding and they just switched when they walked down after so her and her husband were together, but for pictures it was whatever the bride wanted. Smiley smile

    It's really only rude to separate them for dinner. I'd probably let them be together though honestly.

    Personally I wouldn't mind being separated from my husband in a wedding party, especially if it allows the siblings of the bride and groom to walk together. And it's really just for walking and maybe a few pictures, so I think it is fine. Just make sure to seat them together at dinner, and maybe just check with them that they're ok with it just to be safe.

    I wouldn't care if you separated me from FH. People expect the MOH and BM to walk together, so I doubt it will cause a problem. Why don't you ask them how they feel about it?

    I would talk to them. It's not uncommon to split up a married couple if one is the BM or MOH. You could always split them for the ceremony, then have them walk as couples for the reception entrance (or vice versa). That way, you can do the cute sibling match up and couples still get a good pro photo of them all dressed up and pretty!

    Eh, they'll live. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

    I don't think that's rude at all. The last wedding I went to I had friends in the wedding who are married and they didn't walk together. It's not a big deal.

    I peronally dont think it is rude to seperate them during the ceremony, itss not like they have to be with that person the whole time.

    It is for a 30 second (give or take) walk..which will be much faster on the way back up. You aren't asking them to hug, kiss, or hang out together all night. Grown ups (even married ones) can handle walking with someone other than their spouse for 30 seconds. Let them stand together in photos whenever possible and make sure they get to sit together at the reception.

    If someone loses their shit because their husband or wife is walking for 30 seconds with someone else, the problem really isn't about the wedding or ceremony order.
