My Fh doesn't want to walk in and go under the arms of the BP. Is anyone else not doing this? What are you doing instead?

Didn't do that either..just announced everyone into the room and Mr & Mrs and then we had a first dance.

I'm not doing this either. I think we're going to have the guests make an aisle of sorts on either side of the door, we'll walk in, pause for pics for a sec, and then go in to our first dance.

ETA: My brother did this at his wedding and it was difficult because my brother is over 6 feet and all the girls in the BP were under 5'5', so he had to bend a lot. The way it worked was the BP was announced--each couple--and as they were announced they formed a line with girls on one side, guys on the other. Then when my brother and SIL came in, we made an arch with our bouquets and the guys hands.

I've seen it done many times and it's a nice picture at the end of the 'tunnel'. We're not doing for the same reason, FH is 6'3'.

I think it can be cute, but we just did a semi-circle of the BP and then danced in the middle. Its what the hall suggested and I think the prettiest way.

We didn't do it because when we entered we were greeted by our parents who were standing at a table with bread, wine and salt and preparing to give us a Polish blessing (DH and his parents moved here from Poland in 1990 and this was important for them to have)

Our bridal party simply walked to their tables and stood with the rest of the guests until the blessing was over. Then we started our first dance, and they joined in.
