Do micro weddings have bridesmaids and groomsmen?

Micro weddings are about scale, not rules. You can have a full bridal party, a single best person and maid of honour, or no attendants at all. Some couples ask siblings or close friends to stand with them, while others prefer a quiet ceremony with just two witnesses, which is all the law requires in England, Wales and Scotland. In Northern Ireland, you also need two witnesses aged 16 or over. If you do have attendants, you can keep it simple: no matching outfits, no speeches, just their presence and support. You might ask them to help with small tasks like holding rings, signing the register, or giving a short toast. The key is to choose people who will add joy, not stress. If you are worried about hurt feelings, you can explain that your wedding is intentionally small and that you are keeping roles minimal. You could also give them a special role outside the ceremony, like hosting a dinner or walking you down the aisle. Remember, the legal requirement is only witnesses, so everything else is optional and personal.
