Good Morning ladies!
Well I've been trying to get the ceremony organized in my mind and accept the fact that I may not have as many groomsmen as we thought we would bring the Girl to Guy ratio displeasingly uneven! So far with only 88 days to go, all of my girls have put their dress deposits down. The guys, however have been slacking! Only one of the 4 or 5 guys has put forth his deposit. It really pisses me off to know that his best man has not even put a deposit down! They were suppose to have this done by like April 11th! And then we have one guy that's not sure if he'll be able to be in it due to work (understandable) But in my mind I still wish he would put down some sort of deposit since he won't know til July 1st.

But with all of that being said here's my concerns: I was going to have the guys and girls walk together down the aisle. But with none of the guys paying up I'm not sure who's gonna actually be in there. I think at least 2 more guys will pay up soon, So maybe I'll have 3 guys and 4 girls. But anyways what I'm thinking now is to just let the guys come out with fh and let the girls walk down by themselves. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

And then my other concern is who should walk the mothers and grandmother out? If I end up with only 3 gms then I suppose they can do it????

How are y'all doing it???? I need to know!

I sympathize with you, I know how frustrating situations like this can be, I like to be able to plan ahead and hate when people procrastinate. I think you have a great backup idea though, the gms could walk your grandmother and mothers then stand up with the groom, then the ladies can walk out, I've seen that done, but hopefully the guys will get their butts in gear so they can do whatever you would like most :)

Where I am from, the guys ALWAYS come out with the groom, and the girls walk down by themselves. We have had some issues ourselves, and have 4 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen. When we walk out, it will be 1 guy with 2 girls is what I am thinking for now anyway. I am having my brother in law walk my Mom in and his brother walk his Mom in. I think they will ecscort themselves out. Good luck with it!!

My wedding is not to next year and I have planned every detail all the way to the reception. I think if you do not have enough men to accompany the women you should do as you stated: grooms out first and then the ladies. You should also use ushers to bring out the grandparents,they can be very helpful and as far as your FH mom he can walk her down and a close male relative can walk your mom down. My brother will walk my mom down. Dont you just hate when things do not go as plan? I know it may sound wrong but i have back up bridesmaids and groomsmen in case someone chicken out....I even made it clear that they were on stand by! It will all work out.
