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

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...

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 think most of us could survive a short walk without our SO. Don't overthink it.

    I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe during the reception they can walk in & get introduced with their real life partners but ceremony they got to be with whoever you partner them with.

    My brother and SIL were in our wedding. I had them walk together because my nephew was ring bearer. We had him walk with his parents so he was more comfortable than walking alone

    So it went

    BM 1 and Gm 1

    SIL and Bro and Ring bearer

    Bm 2 and GM 2

    MOH and BM

    I don't think it's rude but some people may have an issue with it. I was in a wedding and walked with someone who wasn't my husband and it wasn't a big deal. We did pictures in all sorts of different orders so it was fine.

    We also let my brother, SIL, and nephew get a good family photo. We had the photographer and were already doing other family photos, so not an issue to let them have one even if we paid for the photographer... made the most sense!

    I have one married couple, one non married couple and one divorced couple. The girls are walking down solo and on the way back couples, including the divorced one, will be together. They will be lined up by height and quickly adjust before heading back. Same thing happened at a wedding I was in recently and it worked out fine.

    I asked the divorced couple what they wanted and they want to be introduced together since they are friends still and have the last name.

    I don't think this is rude whatsoever. We can't have all couples together since we want the Best Man and Maid of Honor to walk together but that takes all of 30 seconds. Couples can be split for the 30 second walks up and down the aisle or into the reception.

    We had multiple couples in our bridal party, both married and dating. We did the line up however made sense for us, and most of the couples did not get paired up. However, for our intros to the reception we switched up the orders so that couples walked in together, and we of course seated them next to each other.

    They're grown adults. I don't think they need to be paired up at all moments of the day.

    It's not rude! It's tradition. You can change it if you want, but it's not rude at all!

    As a married woman, to watch my husband walk down the aisle with anyone else other than his mother, sister or our daughter would be devastating. Like letting someone else wear your wedding ring for a day. Sure, it's just a walk or just a piece of jewelry in some opinions, but maybe the sentiment has more value to someone else than you understand.
