Well, I know I do! with my dad. And definitely the bridesmaids. Do the groomsmen? What about my mom? I thought I could have my brother walk her, but is that done or should they be seated before all this? And then would the grooms parents walk down too? What about my grandma? I'm confused.
-Oh, it will be in a Catholic church, does that make a difference?

The brides mom goes down with a brother or another close male, then the grooms parents, then grandparents, important relatives, godparents, people like that. Then its the bridesmaids partnered up with groomsmen. Then comes the maid of honor, flower girl, then you and your dad

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
I thought brides mom then bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. becuase brides mom entering means that you are ready to begin.

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
Our officant told us all this--maybe ask yours.
Our ceremony was Episcopal-- yours should be similar:
Groom & best man enter from the side or wherever & wait at alter.
Groomsmen ( & optional ushers) seat people.
Groom's grandparents, Bride's grandparents, grooms parent's, bride's mother, enter. escorted by someone, sometimes a GM.
When done seating people, groomsen join groom & BM at alter ( not through main aisle)
Music starts, bms walk in, then MOH, FG?RB if you have one, then the Bride.
After ceremony, B & G, MOH & BM, then the groomsmen & bm's in couples, then parents & then everyone else.

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
We're having the groom walk in with his parents, the Best Man will be waiting at the front already, the BM and GM walk down together in pairs, the MOH, Jr BM and RB, then me and my parents.
You can have the girls walk down by themselves and just have the guys waiting at the front and they walk back together after the ceremony.

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
Honestly, it completely depends. I am doing things differently
first:
Minister
Parents of the Groom
My Dad and brother (mom is deceased)
Best Man
Groom
MOH
Me (by myself)
I wanted parents to be in the formal procession in order to honor them.
My Dad is disabled so he can't really walk me down the aisle but it's just not my personality to be 'given away'

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
GM's will seat people.
FI & his best man will enter alone. My mom will walk in with his dad (his mom is deceased) and then GM's will escort my grandma (only one of the two attending) and his grandma (if she is well enough to travel & attend). His God mother may come in with a GM too but he is not sure she would want to do that.
BM's & MOH will come in alone.
We will not have a flower girl so then it's me and my daddy.

That's what I'm doing since I have 6 BMs and 4 GMs... then just have them walk down together, 2 in pairs

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
well... our wedding was at a non denominational christian church and this is how we did it- there was a coordinator that regulated all this- LOL GMs sat people, when we were almost ready, DH and his BM entered from the side and the GMs joined them up there. then DHs parents walked down and lit one side candle for the unity ceremony, then my parents walked down at lit the other side, then dad walked back up to get me then the BMs walked down one by one and the GMs sort of met them at the end of the aisle and escorted them up the steps to where the BP sat during the ceremony. then it was MOH, FG and then me and dad
when we left, it was grandmas first, then his parents, then my parents, then the BP walked out in pairs, then DH and i

My Mom read that too. I really want to do it - and I thought FH would be on board - but he doesn't really want to do it. I think it's AWESOME that you are though!

Re: Who the heck walks down the aisle?
I'm not sure if I'll have both my parents walk me down or just my dad. FMIL wants to walk FH down the aisle...? I don't know if I like that idea. The GM's are usually at the front and they also help usher people to their seats.
