Re: Jewish wedding procession

It goes like this (ignore any that don't apply):

Rabbi and cantor (on Rabbi's right)
Bride's grandparents
Groom's grandparents
Ushers in pairs by height
Best man
Groom and his parents
Bridesmaids individually by height
Honor attendant(s)
Flower girl and ring bearer
Bride and her parents

and no one is announced as they walk in right?

Re: Jewish wedding procession

not for the ceremony. it's just like any other processional - they play music as everyone walks in and then generally switch to different music for the bride.

Re: Jewish wedding procession

what if the bridemaids and the groomsmen are coming down together.....does the groom come down before them or after them?

I believe after them with both his parents.

Hi - there's really not right or wrong way (except that the bride and her parents come down last!)

Lauren - if you look at the program template I sent you, you will see the order of my procession.

We're doing grandparents, groom with his parents, then BM/Groomsman together, then RB, then MOH, then Me with my parents.

I don't really think it's written in stone anyplace, but grandparents, bridal party, groom w/parents, bride w/parents sounds about right from here. holy crap, we haven't started thinking about this yet!
