correct order?

Is this about right? Grandmothers, etc are seated. Then do the men walk down the aisle by themselves one by one, is the groom first? What about the preacher? Then the bridesmaids walk down alone? Then father daughter? For some reason I though the groomsmen and bridesmaids walked together?? Thanks!

Ultimately, you can do it however you want. It's really up to you. "Traditionally," the groom's grandparents are seated, then the bride's grandparents, then the groom's parents, then the bride's mother. Bridesmaids follow (may or may not be escorted by the groomsmen), the Maid of Honor is the last bridesmaid to go, the flower girls and ring bearers if you have them (or they can go before the bridesmaids), then the bride and her escort. The groom can walk down the aisle with the preacher, or he can escort his mother down the aisle and then take his place up front. Groomsmen can either be waiting up front (if you have a side door or a waiting area behind the altar, they can come out of there) or they can escort the bridesmaids.

In the wedding I was recently in, the grandparents were seated then the parents. The pastor and the groom didn't go down the aisle - they just came out from behind the altar and waited at the front. Then the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked together. I've seen it done where the best man stands with the groom and the MOH walks alone, but this was not the case in this wedding. Then another attendant rolled out the runner for the flower girl and ring bearer then the father and bride. You can pretty much do it however you want these days though. HTH!
