Different Ways For Groomsmen & Bridesmaids To Walk Down The Aisle?

I'm getting married at the beach next summer and i'm trying to make my processional a little different than normal, if anyone has any idea's that'd be awesome!

There are only so many ways to skin a cat.  I would personally try to make the wedding "unique and different" in another way.  (It's also not unique if someone else already did it.)

Have your WP work on their teleportation powers
Ice skates
Be carried in by midgets

In all seriousness, the very best "unique and different" moments at weddings happen organically, and are truly unique and special to the couple.  If you're trying to shoehorn in something zany and wacky that isn't reflective of you, it's going to be far phonier than any "standard and boring" way of doing it.

Rollerblades.

Or buy a slip and slide instead of an aisle runner and have your wedding party slide down that!  Instead of dresses you can ask them to wear bathing suits in your wedding colours.  It'll be awesome!!!

I vote for a ring of fire that the WP must leap headfirst through on their way up to the front...

Seriously, though -
In what way are you looking to make it different?? What's wrong with having the guys stand up at the front with the groom and the ladies walk in one at a time, followed  by the bride? 

I guess I just see a lot of posts about trying to make things "unique" and in some cases it seems like there's no need to overthink - esp with something as simple as the processional.

* Girls walk in alone, guys stand up front
* Guys walk in alone, girls stand up front
* Guys escort girls down the aisle
* A guy goes, then a girl, then a guy, then a girl, etc.
* everyone gets shot out of a cannon and lands in front

I like the slip n' slide idea, personally.

But it's my special day and everything MUST be completely unique and memorable!  I'll never forgive myself if our wedding is at all reminiscent of anyone else's!!!

Word of advice from someone who is 100% thrilled with every aspect of her wedding and wishes she could do it again every year: Make fun your first priority.  Not perfection, not uniqueness.  Focus on making the wedding fun.  If you and your FI are married at the end of the day, it will be perfect.  If you and your guests enjoy themselves, it will be memorable.  Many people (especially parents' friends, who have been to 100 weddings) have told me and DH that our wedding was one of the best they ever attended because it was fun.  They don't remember our centerpieces or colors or processional.  They remember that they had fun.

EDIT: And obviously the comfort of their guests (which contributes to them having fun).  People are happy if you feed them, don't charge them for booze, and give them a place to park when they aren't dancing.

I vote for the slip and slide.  And I vote that you read Brooke's reply.  Then print it out.  Then hang it on your mirror so you can see it all the time.  Because it contains very, very good advice.

Have the GMs do cartwheels and the BMs do somersaults.
