Creative Ideas Needed

So, i'm getting married in the church where my fiance went from the time he was little. It was very special to him to have it there. And I feel dumb, because I just realized a major flaw in the church that we already booked. There are two aisles on the left and right side of the church leading up to the front. There is not middle aisle. How do I decide how everyone walks out and makes there own grand entrances, especially my father and I. I need some really creative ideas on this one!!! I know there has to be a way!Undecided

Re: Creative Ideas Needed

  • I would ask someone at the church (the Pastor or wedding coordinator person) what other weddings have done in the past.  They probably have a typical way that it's done.

  • I agree with PP.  It's certainly not a new church if your FI has attended since a child, so ask those at the church how it is normally done.  I'm sure they have some way to get the wedding party down the aisle.

  • I just realized the church I went to as I was growing up was like this. AND I got married there the first time over 18yrs ago! I think I sent couples down the left aisle, and the men escorted the maids to their side and crossed over, and then my dad and I came down the right side? but I honestly don't remember. I think that whatever you do will be fine. If I can't even remember what I did at my own wedding, I don't suppose anyone will freak out over whatever you decide to do. :)
  • Usually there's a "bride's aisle" and a "groom's aisle".  The groomsmen walk up the right aisle, the bridesmaids and bride walk up the left aisle.  Then everyone exits down the right aisle at the end.  It's not terribly complicated, really.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • Thanks for your help. I like the idea of crossing over. And I guess there are many options to choose from. I will definately be asking my officiant how other couples have done it. Great ideas. Thanks
