Who Walks Down the Aisle When?

TXKellyL · January 2012

So, is it brides mother, grooms parents, grandmothers, groom, ring bearer, flowergirl, bridesmaids with groomsmen, bride and father? My mother is insisting that there are lapses of time in between each of those, but I thought once the processional starts it starts, right? Help!

It usually goes grandparents, grooms parents, Mother of the bride, bridesmaids with groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer, then bride and father. Hope this helps

There are a lot of ways this can be done. If you are having a church wedding, they may have a suggested or even required order.

This was ours - we had a small bridal party, no flower girl or ring bearer, and no grandparents at the wedding. We are not Jewish, but loved the idea of each of us entering with our parents. We also did a first look before the ceremony, so it was no big deal with have everyone waiting together before the ceremony started.

Groomsman
Best Man
Groom with both parents
Bridesmaid
Matron of Honor
Bride with both parents

We had the groomsmen and groom already up front, then we did groom's parents, my mom escorted my dad (he is in a wheelchair), ringbearer, bridesmaids, MOH, and then my mom and me

We are going to do groom and best man up front then grooms parents, my mom and step dad, bridesmaids with groomsman, flower girl w/ ring bearer and then MOH and lastly my father and I.

After your guests are seated, the Honored Guests are seated in this order:

Grandparents of Bride
Grandparents of Groom
Mother of Groom
Mother of Bride

When the Mother of the Bride's butt hits the seat, that's the cue for the organist to change the music from PRELUDE to PROCESSIONAL.

The change in music is the cue for the PROCESSION to begin, in this order:

Groom (unless he's already down front)
Ring Bearer + Flower Girl
Bridesmaids (with Groomsmen unless they are already down front)
Maid/Matron of Honor

When the MOH passes the Mother of the Bride, the Mother of the Bride stands up, and that's the cue for the organist to change the music from PROCESSIONAL to BRIDAL MARCH.

The change in music is the cue for the BRIDAL MARCH to begin - that's the bride and bride's father/escort.

The wedding is all about the ex-wife and not the bride or groom?

I am trying to figure out who walks and sits both mothers down. My fiance's father is the one performing the ceremony and my dad is walking me down the aisle.. so who walks our mom's? My mom mentioned the ushers. However, his mom informed me today that she wants to be walked down the aisle and seated... so who does this? Would it be okay for his father to walk her down and sit her and then stand at the alter ready to perform our ceremony? Also, what is the correct order of things? do the mothers go first or the grandparents? If anyone can help that would be awesome! I am stuck and just trying to please everyone with as little of drama as possible!
