I was in my first wedding party just this weekend, and I can safely say that I
would have been really hurt if my friend and his (now) wife had eliminated me
from the wedding party because I had to wear a cast or couldn't get a certain
kind of shoe.  Fortunately, my friend and his (now) wife are really good people
and so are their families.  There were some last-minute cancellations so we
were stuck with 4 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen but rather than eliminate two of
the groomsmen (because it just wouldn't look right) we modified the ceremony
to make them enter and leave the church together.

If I ever get married, I'm going to try to keep the wedding as informal as
possible to allow for these sometimes unforeseen situations.
