No bridesmaids nor groomsmen

Marriage is compromise, and this is a great way to practice. I think you both need to compromise in order to meet in the middle. Your FH wants to have groomsman, and you want it to be just the two of you at the altar. So I would allow him to have his groomsmen and you can have your sister and cousin as bridesmaids (sides, do not need to be even). The BMs and GM’s can walk down the aisle and sit in the front row. This way you both get to experience your wedding the way you had hoped – he can have his wedding party and you could have just the two of you at the altar.

I agree with Cece. I think the compromise she suggested would be perfect!

View Quoted Comment Excellent idea!! I will talk

That's a great idea! I will talk to him and convince him. Although he said that he wants the groomsman standing next to him at the altar -_- Thank you Cece &Veronica

I do want to add that he should not be telling you who should be in your bridesmaids group. He got to choose his side, and now yours is up to you and you alone. If you don’t want to add that sister, you don’t have to.

But if you decide you do want to go with a bridal party, I don't see why FSIL would have to be excluded simply on the basis of the language she speaks or because she hasn't met your sister. That's silly. They aren't the ones getting married!

View Quoted Comment Correct CM, they are not getting married, it's me! That's why I want to have a great bridal party and make everyone even me feel comfortable and have plenty of fun. You would not have too much fun if you would have to be translating or even making conversation because they do not know each other. Some people are not social butterflies and I respect that. I don't want her mom all the time checking on us. I have my motives.. Thanks for your input tho

View Quoted Comment He didn't tell me. I think they just assumed. All of them. The mom too! Like in little conversations just comes up and they start talking about the sister getting ready with me and I get so confused because I want to say “but I haven't added her to my party” but it's a difficult talk you know.
