The correct order of wedding processional

The exact order of the processional often varies depending on a couple’s religion, their personal preferences, and the formality of the wedding. To ensure a proper processional, the couple should always consult their priest or wedding officiant before finalizing how attendants will walk down the aisle.
After all the wedding guests are seated, the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride are seated and the wedding ceremony is about to begin. The basic order of a typical processional is as follows:
The officiant and groom enter the ceremony area, typically from the side or front, and take their places.
The groomsmen enter the area, either by walking down the aisle or more commonly from the front, taking their places near the groom. The best man should be closest to the groom.
The bridesmaids walk down the aisle to a slow and stately tempo, beginning with the attendant who will be furthest from the bride. The maid of honor should be the last bridesmaid down the aisle.
The ring bearer and flower girl are next down the aisle. They may walk together, or if they will walk separately, the ring bearer will be first, followed by the flower girl.
The bride is the last person to walk down the aisle. She may walk alone, though many brides choose to be escorted by their father, grandfather, brother, parents, or another significant individual. After the bride has reached the altar, her escort may raise her veil if desired, or they may respond to the officiant’s question of “who gives this woman” if it will be part of the wedding vows. Once the escort is seated, the primary part of the ceremony can begin.

Not a dumb question at all -- I am still debating this - but I think I am going to have:

FH
Best Man
My grandma with my uncle escorting her
FH's mother with his uncle escorting her (his dad is not around anymore)
BMs with their GMS
JR BMs with JR GMS
MOH
Me and my parents


I was a MOH at two wedding last year and they each had all the Groom and his GMS enter from the side and stand up at the alter already while just the BMS processed down - but I really think I want both GM and BM walking down together....

Like I said, still unsure - but this is most likely how its gonna be.

You can really do it however you want to. I have a very small wedding party so it will be groom, best man #1, best man #2 with MOH, and then me HTH

We did the Best Man standing at the front of the church then the BMs/GMs walked down in groups of two guys and one girl (since we had 15345343 GMs ) and then the MOH walked down the aisle alone. And it's not a dumb question, I had NO idea either!

ETA: Oh yeah, before the BMs/GMs went my parents, then DH's parents and the FGs came in right before me and my daddy.
