Having only bridesmaids and no groomsmen! Weird?

View Quoted Comment Thank you SO much for taking the time to respond. I genuinely feel 100000x better about this! I’m glad it all was beautiful.. hoping to have the same outcome! Thank you again!!!

I am having the same situation with my guy. He doesn't want anyone standing up there with him and I have my girls excited and ready to go.

Glad to hear it turned out great! i’m doing the same thing with my bridesmaid and 0 groomsmen! i don’t know if you’ll see this message so many years later, but i am wondering.. did you still have them carry bouquets?

That is an interesting situation. It seems a little sad that he does not have at least someone to honor as a groomsman. It does sort of interrupt our desire for a picture-perfect event. Yet, the event is the marriage, not the pictures. And it seems he would be ready to answer questions why the ceremony was done this way.

I’m late to the discussion too, but I’m in a similar situation. We’re both in our early 40s, his closest friend passed away and another close friend won’t be able to attend the wedding due to his health. He won’t even have a best man. We will have a ring bearer and flower girl for sure. I have 3 very close friends who I know I will rely on leading up to and during the wedding. They would basically be bridesmaids without the title, dress or bouquets. And that doesn’t seem right to me. So I’m thinking of going ahead and having 3 bridesmaids and no BM or groomsmen. Any thoughts?

View Quoted Comment Hey Natalie! Congratulations 🎉I’m sorry about your fiancés passing of his close friend 😞 but yeah I would totally go ahead and your closest friends as bridesmaids. I didn’t regret just only having bridesmaids at our wedding. I just had them walk down the aisle and sit towards the front it was perfect.

View Quoted Comment Hi! Yes I still had them carry their own bouquets coming down the aisle and as they were seated!
