So my wedding is about 6 months away, and I just recently learned of complications with groomsmen.  We agreed early on that we'd have three people on both sides- her sister and two friends, and my brother with two friends.  No complaints there, three is a very manageable number.  I even found three other guys who could wear their uniforms with me.  The only problem is that now her sister has been causing all kinds of problems, and we don't even know if she's going to show up any more.  My fiancee decided to just cut her losses and go with her two friends as bridesmaids and leave it at that.  I'm definitely not disagreeing with her decision, but where does that leave me and my guys?

I've run into the same situation. My fiancee's sister is her maid of honor, and her boyfriend was going to be a groomsmen. They recently broke up and now I am down a groomsmen. It's  not that uncommon to have an uneven numbers in your wedding party. Thankfully for me I can ask her brother to fill in. For now however, it's looking like 3 on her side and 2 on mine. Not too bad, but it can be done.

you both should make an agreement. if you have to cut somone this we be the way to do it. dont kick one of your groomsmen compltely out of the wedding. Try to find another way to use them in the weddiing. like maybe an usher. they will still important and you wont feel bad.

GOOD LUCK!!! AND CONGRATES

If she does not want to add a bridesmaid, you need to keep the groomsmen in the bridal party.  When you do introductions, two groomsmen can escort the one bridesmaid.  It's not that complicated.  Your friends should not be penalized because her sister is useless.
