They are meant to be the Bride’s attendants (and traditionally that duty would fall to unmarried women), but you really don’t need anyone except 2 witnesses and an officiant.
In my wedding we had my unmarried sister and my married stepmother on my side, and my brother and my husband’s married best friend on his side, so do what makes you happy 🙂
