have two best men? Reason im asking is because i think it will look weird if the matron is walking with the best man and the maid is walking with just a groomsman. In the programs it would look weird too.

By the way that's the order of my best friends wedding... matron first then maid.
 
No, the groom shouldn't have to scrounge for another person to give the honour to if he really only feels close enough to one person. I was at a wedding in April where it was the opposite, 2 best men and 1 maid of honour, and it looked and worked just fine.
 
yes the groom has to have the same no of witness as the bride when I got married I had my sister and he had has his brother we had one of each
 
No. Bride's attendants and Groom's attendant need not look like the Chorus Line for a Broadway production number, or to match up in boy-girl pairs like so many salt and pepper sets. The recessional can be people walking alone, walking in pairs (mix gender or same gender), or walking in groups of three or more if the aisle is wide enough.

Why are you having a program? Do you understand that no one had ever heard of a "wedding program" until about 30 years ago, and they were invented by printers seeking to make more money, not by brides or etiquette experts? Is your ceremony so complex that people won't understand that a marriage is taking place unless you give them a printed handout? Is there no one with the social skills to make proper introductions after the ceremony?

If you feel that you must have this nifty but expensive and troublesome little keepsake, then you alter your program to fit the shape and size of the various families and of the wedding party. You do not seek to alter the wedding party or the family structure for the sake of a symmetrical listing on your printed hand out.
