    Weddings I've been to grandparents, great grandparents just walk in and sit down when they get there. An usher (usually grandson or some relative in the wedding) escorts them and they are not part of the processional.  If they were - they'd probably be first, then grandparents, then his mom, your mom, bridesmaids - etc.

    I'm a church organist, and have never seen grandparents, much less great-grandparents, as part of the processional.  Generally, grandma and grandpa (and in your case GGM) are seated as they arrive.

    At both my son's and DD's weddings, grandparents were not part of the processional.
    "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

    Wow that's interesting...i've been to two weddings this year and the grandparents were in the processional I just wasn't sure if she should be first or if my uncle should just help her to her seat.

    Both of our Grandma's were part of our processional. I would say that your Great Grandma could process in right before or after your Grandma & Grandpa.

    Btw- that is awesome you have great grandparents still living =)

    Sorry for the delay but thanks for the advice! I will definately put her first. And yes, she just celebrated her 88 birthday and she doesn't act a day over 20 :)

    You're lucky. My MIL is 96 and unable to attend my DD's wedding because of dementia. I think it's great that you appreciate the importance of your Great Grandmother. I'm sure it will be a proud day for her.
