wedding party question

so, i have this friend...and i recently decided that i really want her to be in my wedding...

however..fh doesnt want anything BM, and i want our wedding party to be even.. how else can i incorporate her...


OR..

say, she was a bm, and didnt have a partner, how would that work at the reception when everyone dances with their partner??

Maybe have her do a reading at the ceremony?

Also, what do you mean by at the reception when everyone dances with their partner? I've never seen this before.

oh really??? maybe its just a PA thing...lol..

but every wedding ive been too ((in pa)) the wedding party is introduced at the beginning of the reception, and then the whole bridal party dances..usually a slower song..with their partner..

All the weddings I've been to introduce the BP, then the bride and groom, and then the bride & groom have their first dance. I've never been to or been in a wedding where the BM's and GM's dance together (if they're not couples of course).

i have seen some weddngs that do this and some that dont

the bride and groom dance to their first song and then the dj will ask the bridal party to join...so u dance with ur partner and then when everyone joins in you dance with ur real date...

Interesting.....I've really never seen this before. To be honest, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with it either, since a lot of GM's and BM's don't necessarily know each other. I know when my best friend got married, I was a bridesmaid and met the GM that I was walking with at the RD the night before. I would've felt very awkward dancing with him, also b/c we both had significant others.

But it looks like I'm the oddball here as the other posters have seen it around LI and Queens. Guess I haven't been to enough weddings yet

Actually all the weddings I've been in, the bridal party danced with each other for the first dance.

you could have the girl do a reading if you are getting married in church. or hand out programs or bubbles or bird seed for right after the ceremony.

as far as the dance at the recepetion goes, every wedding i have been in when the people start dancing me & FH would find each other & dance together. i have never danced with someone from the wedding party.

I'm from Queens and every wedding I have gone to (not that many 5) all the GM & BM danced about 2/3 of the way through the 1st song

Me too...what we did with my sister's b/c it was uneven is that one of us just danced with our date...it's no big deal!!
