Ceremony Procession

Hi Knotties! 

I am a little over 3 weeks away from my wedding and I have NO IDEA what my ceremony procession should look like! Please help me :(

*FI's parents are married and he has no living grandparents
*My parents are married and I have 4 grandparents. My maternal grandparents are married but my paternal grandparents are divorced and my paternal grandfather is remarried. 
*ALSO, FI's only brother is his Best Man and my only brother is a groomsmen. 

Who walks with my mom? If my brother does it then one BM is groomsman-less and the church wants everyone to be paired. They discourage us from having a groomsman run back around for a BM. 

Who does the groom enter with? Does he enter with the procession at all? 

Ahhh I have no idea...

    Most weddings I've been to the groom escorts his mother in first with his father either walking next to them or just behind, then he goes back and does the same thing with his future MIL, or the moms enter with their husbands (if married).  As for the groom entering, it's really up to him, you, and how your church is set up.  If he escorts one or both mothers, he would just stay up front when he is done.  If he doesn't escort anyone, he can either walk in solo to start the processional, or he can slip in a side door right by the front (usually following the pastor/priest/officiant).

    Grandparents (Have a cousin walk with the single one if you would like)
    His parents (mom can be escorted with dad behind or they can walk together)
    Your mom (escorted by an usher or GM)
    BM/GM
    MOH/BM
    RB/FG
    You/FOB

    After the parents are seated the groom and the officiant walk to the alter (for lack of a better term). This will give the time for your GM's to get back to get in line to walk with the BM's.

    Just be sure they are farther down the line walking in for some buffer.

    Hope this helps!

    My dad is walking my mom up the aisle and then coming back for me. FIL's are walking down together. FH will be waiting at the altar with the best man.

    My parents and my FI's parents will be walking each other down the aisle.  My BMs, FG, and myself will walk alone.
