    Amazon! It’s one of those convertible wrap dresses, so the tops can all be different.

    That's really cool! I like the idea of having all walk down and one stand with you. Was it hard deciding who will be the one with you?

    Daughter 1 had 2 - one on each side, both females

    Daughter 2 had 25 - 10 BM's and 10 GM's, 2 ring bears, 1 flower girl and 2 ushers (they considered their ushers to be part of the WP for photos and tuxes)

    Daughter 3 will have 9 - 4 BM's and 5 GM's (they are not considering their ushers/escorts to be part of the WP)

    Two. My daughter was MOH, my son was "dude of honor." And we never quite figured out who was supposed to be on which side.
