This is a popular subject, however, this particular situation is a bit unique, and I'd need opinions!
So far, we have 1 MOH & 1 Best Man and will have flowergirls and a ringbearer. I'd like to ask my closest friend to be a bridesmaid, however, so far, we would not have a groomsman for her: my FH's friends either have girlfriends (and we wouldn't feel right about asking one to be at the table of honor while the girlfriend is sitting with people she doesn't know) or would not be interested in being the center of attention in that way.
I know uneven wedding parties are frequent, but usually, there would be 2 groomsmen and 1 bridesmaid, or vice versa, and the 2 grommsmen could walk with the bridesmaid up the aisle. In my case, I guess the BM would have to walk up with the MOH AND bridesmaid. Could this be done? Is this lowering the importance of the MOH? Is there any other way of doing it? Especially, I wonder if a bridesmaid would feel weird at the ceremony AND the reception without a groomsman (although we are not planning to have a table of honor couple dance, since our parents are all divorced..). I had decided to ask my friend to be a bridesmaid, and figure out the details later, but yesterday, while speaking to my dad, I told him that she may be a bridesmaid, and he said "well, you'd have to have a groomsman for her!". So now I'm not sure. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Dear uneven,
I would not worry about the uneven number here but would not have the best man escort both the maid of honor and bridesmaid as it would lower the honor of your maid of honor. You can have her walk out alone or with one of the flower girls or ring bearer. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
