Processional??

So the weding is Saturday and my FH and I are confused about the processional.

I think the BMs should walk in with the GM (in pairs). He says that the GM should walk in first then have the BM walk in seperately (each one alone).

What is typically done? how should this go??

Thanks for the help!

we had the Best man stand down at the end with the groom....the rest were in pairs and then my MOH walked down by herself. It was nice 'cause it separated the two of them from the crowd

I have a very small bridal party, 2 BM, 1 MOH, 1 jr BM, 2GM and 1best man. So what we are doing is having the best man go up after the groom. The rest of the bridal party will come in one at a time aletenating BM then GM. ending with MOH then ring bearer then me.

Hi Date Twin!

You can do it any way you want. Usually the couple who runs your rehearsal will sort of try to get you to do it their way.

We are having the BM and groom at the altar. The GMs will walk in 2-by-2. The BMs will walk in alone, then the MOH, followed by bride + dad. For the recessional, all the girls will be escorted up the aisle by a GM.

I've also seen GMs at the front of the church with the groom and only the BMs walk down the aisle -- the GMs escort the BMs back up the aisle for the recessional.

I have also seen it (though VERY RARELY) with the GMs escorting the BMs down the aisle and back up the aisle for the recessional.

Personally, I prefer to be the only one escorted down the aisle that day - and want my BMs to walk alone.

It's a personal preference, though, and you should be able to do it however you want.

You could single out the bridal party also. I think it could be done both ways.
The way I had was - DH with Best Man then followed by BMs with GMs. The MOH walks by herself last. Follows the flower girl and ring boy then it's my dad and I.

This sounds really good..I think I will be doing this way also. I was having some confuse moments on this too. BTW: My brother will be walking me down as my dad is deceased. Therefore, who should walk my mom down??

I really LOVE the idea of having the four groomsman walk down the aisle 2 x2. thats a great idea! It doesn't take away from the BMs. I'll have to pass this one by him as well!!

(Kara...can you believe how close it is??)

Does your mom have any brothers? Or do you have anyone in your life that's significant to both you and your mom? If not, I've heard people have the Best man come around again and walk the mom down the aisle (my officiant also told me this too).

Actually I might take up on that idea. I wasn't thinking this. I will speak with my Officiant but it's a good idea..Thanks alot

We had the best man stand up with the groom, the bridal party was all paired off exept for the last set which was two groomsmen and a BM. Then the another BM by herself, PS: I didnt have a Maid of Honor, Then ME, the Bride with my two brothers escorting me up the aisle....:
