FI and I are having a non-religious ceremony. We want the bm's to walk down alone, but after the ceremony walk back with a groomsmen. This is how my mom "sees" the order. Fi's nieces (not sure of the title yet, wedding greeters? ), flower girl and ring bearer, groomsmen, best man, FI's parents with his grandfather, FI, Bridesmaids, Maid of Honor, and then me walking with my parents. For after ceremony it would be Fi and me, bridal party will match up, then our parents, and then everyone else row by row. Is that correct or am I way off? My mother said the parents should go before the bridal party, which I think she is way off about. Is it common for the whole bridal party to stand up there with us or just the best man and made of honor?
Also, did/will you have your bridesmaids walk in height order? Did or will you have people stand as you walked down the aisle?
Sorry for all the questions..I'm getting stressed!
