Advice for walking down the aisle

zprudhomme

My partner and I are having our comittment ceremony in June.  We're making headway with the plans, but there's one things we're kinda stumped on:  walking down the aisle.  Who walks first?  Should we both just walk together?  Do we have to walk down the aisle at all?  Should we just be there in front?  Is there some kind of reveal we can work with? 

We have agreed against a wedding party, but I feel like there should be some type of moment we should each get where all the attention is on us leading up to the ceremony.  Are there any creative, unique and nontraditional suggestions that other people have tried?  I'd love any feedback anyone could provide.

Our processional wasn't really non-traditional, but hope this helps!  My Partner (H) was escorted down the aisle 1st by her dads' standin. Then her BM and my MOH, then ring bearer and then the flower girl. When everyone was up there, my dad escorted me down the aisle.
    The reason we did it this was because H wanted me to have the "moment". Otherwise I've heard of couples coming down two different aisles at the same time or start off in two and come together half way and walk the rest of the way together. It all really depends on how both of you want your ceremony to look and feel. H wanted as traditional as I've always dreamed of, but that was just us. Talk to your ceremony space rep. and see what other couples have done in the space and see if you like any of those ideas!

there are a lot of ways you could handle this.  It depends on personal preference and also, the setup of your venue. Are there side aisles?  If so, you could walk down the side aisles and meet at the front.  You could walk in seperately with your respective parent one at a time.  You could come out from the back of the "altar" if there is a space for that. 

My partner was already standing up front and my best friend/MOH walked me down the aisle...  so, it really is up to you.

NotFroofy and I walked up the aisle together, holding hands.  But you can really do it however you want.  If you have more than one aisle, you could each come down a different one.  If not, each of you could start from one corner of the venue and process along the back toward the center aisle, and then the two of you could meet and walk up the aisle together.  Or one could be in front waiting, and the other could process.  Or one of you could process first and the other one second.  (Flip a coin for which one goes first?)

What me and my Wtb are doing is she will come from the front of the church with her groomswomen and then my bridesmaids will walk down and then I will walk down but to give her dad the opportunity to give her away when my aunt is giving me away her dad and mom will also give her away so he stills gets to do that part, I think the father of the bridegroom needs to be able to do that it is still traditional but non traditional at the same time
