Same-sex wedding- bridesmaids and groomsmen??

Of course you can't have whoever you want stand with you! No one will find it odd since it'll be your nearest and dearest regardless of their gender.

You can have whoever you want standing next to you. The last wedding i went to the groom had a best woman instead of best man. Whoever you’re closest to should be up there with you regardless of their gender!

We haven't given them bridesmaids or groomsmen titles. We are having people "stand up for us". We are each having 3. Both genders on each side. It's less confusing for US not to call them bridesman or whatever so we aren't using titles.

Oh it's not odd anymore. Don't worry.

You pick the people who you want in your party and go for it.
We have a female usher.
I'm not here to play up people's expectations of gender roles.

View Quoted Comment Agree with this! I have bridesmaids and bridesmaid, and my FH has groomsmen and groomsgals!

There was a pair of men on here I saw a month ago get married with all genders in the party. Honestly it's your wedding do what makes you two happy.

Your wedding party should be made up of the people you want in it, regardless of genders! Here are a few links to some same-sex weddings from WeddingWire's Real Weddings section so you can see what some weddings with two grooms and both men and women in the wedding party look like:

Sean and Jeremy's Wedding in Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Kevin and Brad's Wedding in Rio Grande, New Jersey

Elliot and Jason's Wedding in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Kyle and Kaylan's Wedding in Washington, District of Columbia

The weddings I have been to, and commitment ceremonies before weddings were legal, always had close friends or family of any gender as attendants to partner 1, the friends or family of any gender as attendants to partner 2. So each groom chooses their own. I see ne reason to necessarily keep all women together, or keep all men together. Not like you insist they be paired off in M-F pairs. I would hope. 😊

You can have whoever you want! Gender doesn't matter.

What kind of wedding do you want? Are you going for something traditional or more unique? I see nothing wrong with having bridesmaids and groomsmen, either way. You can have BM's on one side and GM on the other or you could have them on the side of the groom that they're there for. It's up to you and what you want

We are not gay and I have no grooms man I have 4 bridesmaids he has 2 grooms women. My two matrons of honor will walk down alone. My BM and JR BM will walk down together. The grooms women will just stand with him.

Thank you so much everyone!! Nice to have some affirmation and inspiration!

Have whoever you want! My FH’s group of friends is 95% female and I am totally fine with that and 2 of them will be groomswomen on our day. If you love them, have them at your side.

I was a bridesmaid in one of my friends wedding (2 ladies). They shared the same group of friends so they just evenly split the numbers between suits and dresses... some ladies were more comfortable in a suite. It looked great and we all had a lot of fun!

Even mixing bridesmaids and groomsmen for bridesmen and groombrides or whatever is a think now so I don't think it would come off strange! There would be a lot of men up there then if not haha! It's your wedding, do what you want!

Of course! My fiancée and I are having both. She has groomsmen on here side and I have bridesmaids on my side. I’ve seen same sex guy couples do the same thing I actually adore it. It’s so cute!

We are having bridesmaids and bridesmen! I have a best guy friend who will be on my side and my FH has a brother that she wanted to stand on her side. So it worked out perfectly. So far everyone we have told about it loves the idea! I actually think mix gender wedding parties is becoming quite popular.

I've seen it at straight and gay weddings, and it has never looked odd to me!
