Getting married soon - I have a bridal party of two and DP has the same, so we have four close friends involved. They will inevitably be doing quite a few different things to help out on the day but we'd like them to have more ceremonial roles and clearly be part of the ceremony also, so they're not just glorified helpers!
DP and I are walking together down the aisle as I really didn't want to be given away and that felt most right to us. In my head it doesn't quite look right to have them walk down the aisle ahead of us, as it will just be a series of couples, culminating in us (both bride and groom parties consist of one man and one woman each - pure coincidence). Does that look weird or am I overthinking this?
If you walked down the aisle with your DP but still had bridesmaids/groomsmen, where were they standing / how did they enter?
They're wearing outfits of their choosing / not coordinated, but I'm thinking it would be nice to get small bouquets for the women / buttonholes for the men, as something special to add to their outfit. Would you appreciate that in this role?
In terms of ceremonial roles - two of them will be ring-bearers, but that's about all we have.
Basically, if you had a similar, slightly less traditional setup - what did you do with your brides/groomspeople?
