Is it normal for a brides brother to walk do the isle with another girl when he has a serious girlfriend?

Question

Shes close to the family and they've been dating for a long time.

Answer 1

If the brother is a groomsmen in the wedding, then yes...it is completely appropriate for him to walk down the aisle with someone. It doesn't mean anything.

Answer 2

Yes!  It depends where they fall in the lineup.  Remember it's the bride and grooms day not the girlfriend of the usher.  They are usually lined up by height with the Maid of Honor and Best Man together (whether they're dating or not).  The bridal party is set up in height order so it looks good going down the isle, or in photos.  The relationships of the people are not usually thought of.  Once at the wedding you can dance with your boyfriend if you want, but give the guy a break huh?

Answer 3

Well, if he's a groomsman and she isn't a bridesmaid, then yes, it's normal!!

Answer 4

Yes it's normal.  When he is a member of the bridal party he will be matched up with the female attendant that is in the same standing position as him.  His outside relationship really isn't important to or affected by the position of the wedding party at his sister's wedding.

And other than walking her down the aisle, pictures and walking into the reception, he isn't tied to that female attendant for the whole wedding, just the traditional parts where they are paired up.

Answer 5

Yes, if it's one of the bridesmaids and you're a groomsman.  You're not marrying this girl, and your girlfriend should understand that.  You're playing your role in your sister's wedding, that's it.  If your girlfriend can't understand that, she's got problems.

Answer 6

Yes, that's completely normal. If the brother is a groomsman, he will walk down the aisle with one of the bridesmaids, regardless of whether or not he is dating someone. Groomsmen and bridesmaids do not walk down the aisle with their significant others at a wedding ceremony.

Answer 7

Yes it is and it is proper for him to sit with the bridel party than afterwards enjoy the rest of the night with his girlfriend

Answer 8

The "girlfriend" should have no bearing on who's paired with whom.

And if she "freaks" maybe your brother ought to take this into consideration.

Answer 9

If your brother is in the wedding as a groomsman and his girlfriend is not a bridesmaid, then yes, it is normal for him to walk down with another girl.  If they are both in the wedding, the only time I couldn't not see them walking down the isle is if she is your maid of honor and he is a groomsman, or if he is best man and she is a bridesmaid.

If he isn't in the wedding - then no, he probably shouldn't walk down the isle with another girl - even if his girlfriend is in the wedding.

Answer 10

She's very immature if she's freaking out that he has to walk and stand next to a girl for a few minutes that isn't her. It isn't like he has to share a hotel room with her or something. Yes it's acceptable for the bridal party to walk together, sit together and even do a dance together.

Answer 11

He is simply escorting the "other" girl down the aisle.  He's not going to marry her.  Tell his girlfriend to relax and not to be soooo jealous.

Answer 12

Normal if the girl is in the bridal party yes, respectful to the brother's girlfriend probably not as much from the grilfriend's shoes. However since she is not in the bridal party, not really much she can say since it isn't her day. The b/f shouldn't be making her worried about it either tho. Who knows maybe she has a b/f sitting in the audience too! Also, many times the groosmen are already standing up at the alter and they only walk to bridesmaids out of the ceremony!

EDIT: I can kind of see her being upset, I mean the girls will all be dressed up, fully make-up and she feels left out, however, while she might not like it, she will have to put up with it, it's not like the whole rest of the wedding he won't be with her!

Answer 13

Of course, it's perfectly appropriate, normal and expected from a Groomsman to walk with another attendant on a wedding, duh!.

I smell inmaturity, lack on social skills, ignorance and jealosy from your part.

Grow up!

Answer 14

If the girl is in the wedding party, no.

Male and female attendants walk together, per tradition.

Sounds as if the girlfriend is insecure, clingy, and jealous.

My fiance' will be Best Man in his brother's wedding, and I have no problem at all with him walking with the Maid of Honor.

Answer 15

If they are members of the wedding party and they have been paired to walk down the aisle together, sure.  Just remember, this is the day for the BRIDE and the GROOM, and all else is secondary on the wedding day.

Answer 16

Do you mean a bridal attendant?  If so, then that's perfectly appropriate.  Who is the other girl?

Answer 17

yea it's normal. It's just a 30 second walk. Tell his girl to get over it. It's one day. She has him all the time. How does your brother feel about it?

Answer 18

yes, they're walking together not having s*x

Answer 19

If the brother is in the wedding, then yes this is perfectly normal because he would be paired up with a bridesmaid.

If the brother isn't in the wedding then it is totally weird for him to even be walking down the aisle at all (unless he is escorting the bride).

Answer 20

Yes, absolutely.  The gf is a dolt.

Answer 21

Yup, perfectly normal. The groomsmen would be paired up with a bridesmaid.

My fiance was in a wedding and walked with the groom's sister and then danced with her at the reception.

His girlfriend shouldn't have a problem, as he's simply fullfilling an obligation.

Answer 22

Tell the girl to grow up.  Groomsmen always walk and dance with bridesmaids - that's their job.

Answer 23

Do you mean that the brides's brother will be a groomsmen and will be paired up with another bridesmaid for the wedding? Yes, thats a normal. Having a girlfriend or boyfriend doesn't keep you from being a groomsmen or bridesmaid. Once his groomsmen duties are over, he can spend time with his girlfriend. Tell her not to worry, there's nothing to it. They just got throw together, probably because they are the closest in height.

Answer 24

If you really want to freak her out, you can tell her that it is a family tradition that the Bridal party must MARRY the person they are paired with.  The bride and groom have chosen whom they think would make a good couple.  And if they don't marry the person that they are paired with then the bride and groom will have an ugly, bitter divorce.
