My brother is my best friend, and so he's going to be my man of honor. No issues with that.But my fiance's sisters are going to be in the wedding party as well. They don't like me and I don't like them. So my fiance and I decided that it would be best if they stand up on his side (he knows the tension is real!). I have added another great guy friend to my side of the party so that it will be staggered boy-girl-boy-girl. Has anybody else ever seen this or done it? Is it just too complicated? Does/will it look cracked out? I'm not wanting to be a snob about it. I just want to feel good on our day. What do you guys think?Also, just to vent about it, having a huge bridal party (12) is such a hassle! I dunno what our parents were thinking, having so many fricken kids!i think i should add here that there isn't any hatchet to bury. his sisters treat me like garbage, and i have no interest in connecting with them after the things they've said to and about me. and both of them came up to me to tell me if i chose a certain color that neither would be in the party. thank the good Lord they live many states away, and we'll probably only interact a few times a year. i can suck it up 4 times a year, i'm sure  |

| I think it's a neat idea. I've never seen anything like it, but I'm sure it will work. My only concern is: Are you sure you want to have people you don't like (and who don't like you) in your wedding party? For me, that would just add too the stress. It's totally up to you though, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, only you and your fiancé. |

| I think that is fine! Good on you guys for doing something different. It's good that you are having who is closest to you, no matter what gender they are. Happy wedding! PS. I couldn't imagine having that huge a bridal party, but at least you are including everyone which is so nice. My fiance and I were only going to have 1 attendant each but I wanted my best friend too so we will two each which is enough for me, I don't want it to get too complicated. |

| I think its definitely different and unique your staggered set up!!I am having my best friend...(a guy) also stand on my side and my fiance's sister stand on his side.As far as you not getting along with them, that is besides the point. Pretty much ignore them and have fun on your day, don't let them get to you! |

| Forget the wedding arrangement, you need to find a way to get along with his sisters because they are gonna be in your life in a big way for as long as you are with their brother. Having enemy in laws makes for a miserable life and when the kids come into the picture it just gets worse. This division is not the best you could do. This is a wonderful opportunity to burry the hatched, make peace and come to some sort of terms wtih each other. Now is the time because now is the time that things are changing and a new order of things can be established. They might not like you simply because you are taking their brother. Extend that olive branch. You have nothing to loose and you could have life long peace to gain. |

| Have you ever thought of limiting your bridal party to those who you both like? Siblings aren't automatically entitled to a place in your wedding. It's those who you want to stand up there and share your special day. If it causes that much tension then just don't do it. |

| I think since you have an even number and you are staggering them it will look modern. So sorry you are not close to the girls in your wedding party, that just makes things more stressful |

| I was recently married and I fought both my family and his tooth and nail to do things MY way. It's YOUR wedding. If you want a bridal party wearing pink elephant suits, then go for it. This is the biggest day of your life so far and its the first day of the rest of you and your husbands life together. Make it about the two of you and your personalities and wants. Everyone who came to my wedding was so amazed at how personal it was and how it was "so Meagan and Ronnie". It may not have been their idea of the perfect wedding, but it was ours. We made it our own, and I haven't regreted it one second since. Good luck! |

| My fiance and I are doing something sort of like that. Nothing that big! We both only have one sibling (thank god).I'm having my best guy friend on my side as a "Bridesman" and my fiances sister (who I love) is going to be on his side. It will still go boy girl boy girl but we're just gonna switch up those two spots. so it will be like...Groom - BrideBoy - GirlBoy - GirlGirl - BoyBoy - GirlI used my computer skills to get an idea of the layout of a setup like that and as long as I have my bridesman in the same tuxedo as the groomsmen and the groomswoman in the same dress as my bridesmaids it looked really put together and you're eye kind of travels everywhere. It looked neat I thought and this is a new age... girls are best friends with guys and guys have best friends that are girls without it being anything more than that so I see no reason what so ever with it! Good luck!!! |
