    Absolutely can do that.

    Or as I did, with even numbers, have the groomsmen already at the altar with the groom.
    Then have your sister walk down unescorted before you.

    Charlotte I think what Emma suggested was awesome I would have the groomsmen up the front and have your sister walk down unescorted. So exciting, it's this month!!! What date? I'm sorry I have pretty brain and can't remember!!! Xxxx

    At our wedding we had 5 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids. It worked just fine for us. But I hate dancing so there was no dancing and no need for anyone to be “partnered”.

    ETA: Oh yes, the groomsmen usually wait at the front with the groom. And we had an outdoor wedding so everyone kind of just dispersed after the ceremony so no need for partners there either.

    The men are always waiting down the front aren't they?? I'm going to presume you meant on the way out after you've been married when typically everyone partners up?
    Yes one either side and bridesmaid in the middle, or even just in a line...the maried couple, bridesmaid and so on.

    We had 2 bridesmaids and just the best man at our wedding, the guys were waiting at the front for us.
    When we were presented at the reception, my second bridesmaid walked in with our flowergirl (DD1).
    But you can have them un-partnered, I don't think it makes much of a difference TBH.

    I was the only bridesmaid with two groomsmen when my cousin got married and it was fine. I walked back down the aisle with one on each side. During the bridal waltz, we each danced with our own parters and not other members of the bridal party. I preferred this so much anyway. The photographer was also really great and positioned us well so all the photos still looked really well balanced. It is not that difficult to do at all. I'm sure it will be fine!

    ETA: Walking into the reception, we walked in together, I just had one GM on each side.
