Which way did you do it and why?? Ceremony Question

Original post by AJsMommy122

Did you have all the bms and gms walk down the aisle together or the guys first then the girls??

Or did you just have all the guys standing up front and just the bms walk in??

The way I've seen it,a nd this is how I plan to do it, the best man will be standing with the groom, the other bm's and GM will walk in pairs, and the MOH walks alone.



This is the way I did it... why? I think it's the traditional Catholic processional, though I'm not sure. It's the way I've always seen it done (though I know it can be done other ways)



I thought the catholic tradition was that the Bms walk in alone. That's how i've always seen it.
That's how we did. I think we had a choice, our minister was very laid back.
I did it, because to me it was traditional & we were keepign the ceromny prety traditional.
Also, we just had 1 bm/gm & 1 MOH/BM, so it would be weird for one guy to walk & not the other.
the GM escorted his & dh's grandma down the aisle, so he did sort of get to walk in.



Actually I think you are right also, Heather. I know that in our little 'ceremony booklet' there were two ways of doing it, like you said. I guess in our church it's just more often done the other way. Maybe it varies by church?

if you have an equal number of BM and GM than you can do whatever you like, if you don't, it might be better to have the guys up there all ready, and the BM walking alone

I want to have the guys escort the gals. I just like it better. I feel like the guys serve more of a purpose than just standing at the alter. And the girls don't feel so silly walking down the aisle alone!

in a jewish ceremony no one is standing up there.. so we're doing this:

groomsmen, best men, groom escorted by parents, bridesmaids, MOHs, me escorted by my parents.



That's how we had them walk out and then they all paired up to walk ack up the aisle after the ceremony.

my bridesmaids and groomsman walked down together and back up the aisle together as well.

All of my bridesmaids were escorted by the groomsmen. My 2 junior bridesmaids walked down together and then my ring bearer and flowergirl walked down together and then my MOH walked down alone.

Basically we did the same thing, except we didn't have junior bridesmaids, a flowergirl and a ringbearer.

I am having the girls walk down alone and the guys up at the altar. My aisle is really short (prob. like 25 ft), so I figured the girls deserve the most attention and can walk down alone!
