Who are you ladies having walk your groom down the aisle? I know some weddings I've been to have the groom kind of hanging out before the ceremony saying hello to the guests. I know i don't want this. I want him to walk down the aisle once the wedding starts. But who should walk him? His Mom is not the most reliable person and I'd be worried. ha ha. I thought about having her walk him down OR having him come in with the pastor. Any thoughts? Experiences? Thank you!

    Ditto CS. I've always seen the groom and pastor walk together - from wherever they have been waiting prior to the ceremony. I have also seen the best man walk with the groom.

    groom will walk down the aisle with pastor and groomsmen.  They will be the first of the processional, then mothers, etc.  The side room was way tiny for him and four others to hang out in until the ceremony he really doesn't need to be walked

    What does your FI want to do? It's his call in the end, not yours. Offer suggestions if you want, but he gets to decide.

    Usually the officiant, groom, and groomsmen come in from the side, and take their places at the altar. Then the mothers are seated, then the BMs and bride walk down the aisle. Sometimes the groom, a groomsman/usher escorts the MOG to her seat, then takes their place at the altar with the groom's party. But if you and your FI like the idea, the guys can walk down the aisle, with or without music, probably single file. Or you can have the GMs escort the BMs down the aisle, then the groom could walk down the aisle either before the first attendant/couple, or after the last. You can pretty much do it how you want, but you might check with your FI and especially the officiant, who has done way more weddings than you have, and could probably give you some advice or suggestions. And any time you deviate from the "norm" for wedding ceremonies, go over it will the WP in advance and at the rehearsal or it can turn awkward.

    At our wedding my DH walked in by himself, after our officiants but before the groomsmen and bridesmaids who entered in pairs.

    We're arranging the chairs so there will be 3 aisles. We'll walk at the same time. Me and my girls down the left side. I'll be holding my parents hands him and his boys down the rights. He'll be holding his parents hands. After we're married we'll walk down the center aisle together husband and wife.
