    During post-engagement (pre-planning) excitement, I asked a four close friends to stand up in my wedding.  I am still excited to have them be involved, but now I don't know what to do!

    I was having a lot of aisle anxiety (daddy/divorced parent issues) and I've decided to skip the aisle altogether.  During the ceremony (at a park), chairs will be set up in a circle, my FI and I will just come in, complete the circle, and get married!

    How can I honor my close friends, since there will be no aisle?  Should I still get bouquets for them?  Could there be another, 'special' way for them to enter?  Or should I just ask them to do a toast, hold a ring, sign the marriage certificate?

    Can they be seated in the front row of the circle?

    Since you will be coming in to complete the circle, can they come in just before you, to join in the circle?  Just have a bigger space to allow them to join in.  They can stay standing, while you say your vows.
