Wedding Line

[brewsells]

How do I know the order that the line is supposed to walk down the isle? Do the mothers walk down the isle? If so, who walks them? Help!

Do you mean the processional before the start of your ceremony?
If so traditionally this is how it goes,
The groom seats honored guest (such as grandma or favorite aunt)
The goom then seats his mom (and dad)
The groom then seats the mother of the bride.
*The groom, groomsmen and officiant take their places at the front
Then starts your selected processional music
Then your brides maids proceed down the aisle the MOH coming last
If you have a FG/RB then they proceed down the aisle
Begin bridal music
Entrance of the bride and escort
*some brides like to have the brides maids and groomsmen walk down the aisle together
Hope this helps

That does help! Thank you.

This is how we're doing it:

Grandparents- walk down- seated in first row.

Groomsmen, one at a time, Best Man last one to walk down.. (who will stand beside the groom)

Groom's Parents- walk 1/2 way down, wait at aisle 1/2 way

Groom- walks 1/2 way by himself, meets his parents and walks the rest of the way with them.

Flower girls, walk down sprinkling rose petals, sit down in first row.

Bridesmaids, one at a time, last one is Maid of Honor (who will stand beside the bride during ceremony)

Brides parents, walk 1/2 way, wait for bride.

Bride- walk 1/2 way by herself, meet her parents walk down together.

We have incorporated some Jewish traditions and Christian traditions with the processional.

Hope this helps.

I dont have to do this........Im going to have the arch sat up by the lake and have the luminary "aisle" but Brian and I will probably just walk down it together.

Good Question i haven't thought about it too much.
My FH's parents are divorved and re-married. How do i put that into the mix? Should his father and his wife go down the isle together then his mother and step father go down the isle together? Can he walk his Grandfather down the isle as the guest of honour? He's the only grandparent we have left.

If your FH is close enough to his step mom then I would suggest that he escorts his mom then his step mom. As for your Grandfather, he should be seated before the parents are seated

Oh and BTW Welcome Brewsells! When is your wedding date?
And remember ladies, your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day! Don't put off planning it so long that you have to rush to put it together....;)

This is how we are doing it.

The groom and bestman will be at the church about 20 minutes before hand and will be waiting at the front of the church.

I am sending my bridesmaid down first, then their will be me and then my parents will follow me with their arms linked.

After the ceremony this is how we will leave the church.

Bride and groom, followed by the bestman and bridesmaid, then my dad will link arms with my MIL and my Mum will link arms with my FIL.
