Alright, let’s talk about this uneven bridesmaids and groomsmen thing, you know, when one side’s got more folks than the other. It ain’t no big deal, really, but folks get all worked up about it. I seen it happen at my niece’s weddin’ – she had a whole gaggle of girls, and that boy of hers, well, he just had a couple of buddies.
So, what happens when things ain’t even? Well, first off, don’t you go frettin’. It’s your day, you do what you want. Nobody’s gonna be countin’ heads at the altar, too busy lookin’ at you and your getup anyway.
Some folks say it looks funny in pictures, you know, one side all crowded and the other lookin’ kinda sparse. But listen here, there’s ways around that. Like at that weddin’ I was tellin’ you about, they just had those fellas walk two girls down the aisle. Problem solved, see? Easy peasy.
And then there’s the table situation, right? You got more girls than boys, where they gonna sit? Well, my neighbor’s girl, she got hitched last summer, and she had more bridesmaids too. They just used a big round table, so it didn’t look so lop-sided. Smart, ain’t it? Nobody felt outta place, everybody could see each other and chat.
- Don’t sweat the small stuff: Seriously, it ain’t the end of the world if things ain’t perfectly matched. It’s about love and family, not some math problem.
- Get creative: Like I said, walkin’ two girls at a time, usin’ a round table, there’s always a way to make it work. You can even have some of them fellas wear the same color ties or somethin’, make it look more put-together.
- It’s your wedding, your rules: Don’t let nobody tell you what you gotta do. If you want ten bridesmaids and one groomsman, that’s your business. Don’t let them busybodies get to you.
Now, some folks get all caught up in tradition, sayin’ everything gotta be even-steven. But times are changin’, honey. Folks doin’ things their own way now, and that’s just fine. You want a big ol’ bridal party, go for it. You want a small, intimate affair, that’s good too. Just do what makes you and your sweetheart happy, that’s all that matters.
And let me tell you somethin’ else, these fancy weddin’ planners and magazines, they’ll try to sell you all sorts of nonsense. Don’t listen to ‘em. They just want your money. You can have a beautiful, memorable weddin’ without spendin’ a fortune or followin’ some silly rules.
I remember back in my day, we didn’t have all this fuss. You got married, you had a party, that was it. Didn’t need no fancy this and that. But times change, I get it. Just don’t let all the extras distract you from what’s important – committin’ yourself to the person you love, in front of all your people.
So, if you got an uneven number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, don’t you worry none. It’s perfectly alright. Just focus on havin’ a good time and celebratin’ with your loved ones. And if anybody gives you a hard time about it, just tell ‘em to mind their own beeswax. It’s your day, not theirs.
And remember, the most important thing is that you and your partner are happy. That’s what everyone will remember, not whether you had the same number of folks on each side of the altar. So go on, plan your weddin’ the way you want it, and don’t let nobody tell you different.
That’s all there is to it, really. Just common sense, if you ask me. But folks get so caught up in the details, they forget what’s really important. Just breathe, relax, and enjoy your special day. It’ll be over before you know it, so make the most of it.
And one more thing, don’t forget to eat somethin’! I’ve seen too many brides go hungry on their weddin’ day, too busy fussin’ over everything else. You need your strength, honey, so make sure you get a good meal before you say “I do.”
Alright, I think I’ve said my piece. Go on now, and plan that weddin’ of yours. And remember, it don’t matter if things ain’t perfect, as long as you’re happy. That’s the secret to a good marriage, and a good life too.
Final words, if the boys outfits look a mess, tell ‘em to send a picture first, make sure they look presentable. Matching ties, same suit color, that sorta thing. It helps, trust me.
