Wedding processional with step parents and grooms parents HELP!

Knottie35184479

So I am getting married in OCT and need help with the wedding processional. Here is a quick background, my groom is Jewish and his mom and dad want to walk him down the aisle. Between my groom and myself we do not have any living maternal or paternal grandparents. My parents are both divorced and remarried leaving me with step parents and step grandparents. I am very close with my stepfather and hope that him and my birth father, whom I am also very close with, will walk me down the aisle. I am not close to my stepmother at all, but have a feeling it is expected that she get escorted down the aisle. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Is it traditional to have step grandparents escorted down the aisle? I did not plan on having them escorted. Also where do I work in my stepmother and when would the grooms and his parents walk?

I am so confused! Please Help.

I'm not sure if this would be correct, but this is what I would do in if I were in your situation

1. If budget allows, get all grandparents flowers so they stand out as VIPS
2. Ask them if they would like enter before the parents as part of the processional or when they arrive. Depending on their health, they may be more comfortable arriving & being able to sit right away
3. If you are doing ushers, have all the grandmothers escorted down the isle. If no ushers for guests, then just have their husbands escort them
4. Have your step mother escorted in & seated
5. Then have your mother escorted in & seated (or you can reverse this to have your mom walk in first & then step mom, I would let this be determined by does your mom have any special roles like lighting a candle)
6. As then have the groom escorted in by his parents
7. Then your bridesmaid(s)
8. Then you

1. SM should be escorted to her seat, especially since her husband is in the processional. Your dad could walk her to her seat and then return to line up with you. Or she could choose another escort.

2. Gm

3. Best Man

4. Groom and his parents

5. Bridesmaids

6. MOH

7. Flower girl and ring bearer

8. You and your parents. If your mom prefers not to be in the processional, she should be the last person seated before the processional. So she would go after your SM. This is the cue for the musician to start the wedding party's music. Your mother should be escorted by her husband or she may choose another escort if your SF walks with you and your dad.
