Is there a tradition of whom is in the processional outside the bridal party? I would like to include both grandmothers whom are still alive and a Aunt whom is like a mom to me. We are very close and even were called as mother and daughter when I was a teenager(She's old enough to be my grandmother.) I would love to know the tradition behind the processional to decide the way I going to plan it. BTW if it helps we are planning a Christian wedding that might or might not be in a church. Tammy

    After all the wedding guests are seated the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride are seated by the groom, best man or ushers by walking down the aisle, then the bridal party enters.im sure you can do the same thing with both your grandmothers and aunti guess it depends on how many men are in your bridal party.

    Typically, moms and grandmothers are escorted up right before the WP starts.  You can certainly add your aunt to this.  Are you having ushers?  We had two ushers, and they took turns escorting these people up and going back around for the next.  If you don't have ushers, they can process up alone before the WP.  Just change the music to signify the change.

    You can have anyone you want in your processional.  Just be sure to let your officiant/musician know.I'm a church organist, and I play prelude music for about 20 minutes before the ceremony starts.  Someone comes to let me know they're seating the moms and I start their music.  Then swing into the WP processional music, and when the WP is in, switch to the bride's music.All you need to do is have your aunt and grandmas wait at the back of the church with you until all guests are seated.  Then have someone let the organist/musician know that you're ready to start your seating.  What I'd recommend is aunt/grandmas walk in, then moms, then WP, then you.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
