fh aisle walk?

I think the officiant walks up to the front first and asks people to rise then the groom can come down the isle. Then the wedding party and parents and then the bride

My husband walked but groomsmen didn’t. My husband was escorted by his 2 parents and 2 stepparents as that’s customary in the Jewish faith.

My husband walked down the aisle with his dad and brother! In Jewish weddings it is actually traditional for the groom to walk down the aisle. The traditional Jewish order is:

Officiant

Grandparents of the bride

Grandparents of the groom

Groomsmen

Best Man

Groom, with mom and dad

Bridesmaids

Maid of Honor

Bride, with mom and dad

We kept to this order for the most part, except husband doesn't have a relationship with his mom and I don't have one with my dad, so he walked with his dad and brother and I walked with my mom and brother. Also my brother was our officiant lol, so my grandparents were first in the processional and after my brother walked down the aisle with me, he just spun around to officiate.

My husband was so glad he walked down the aisle... his dad and brother were also so happy and honored to be included!

Mine will walk down after all the wedding party does so he gets a moment for himself too.

Lol this isn’t traditional in my culture but my FH is the type that everything you get I want to (he’s a jokester so sometimes he’s joking about these things) he has expressed that he also wants to walk down the aisle since I get a grand entrance 😂😂. I’m fine with it. Most weddings I’ve been to the groom and best man have walked from a side entrance and that’s how we knew the ceremony was starting. To give FH his grand entrance lol I think we will have the officiant announce him and then he can walk down the aisle.

The Jewish tradition is that the groom walks down escorted by his parents, and the bride walks down escorted by hers. It emphasizes both of them recognizing their families, rather than just the bride being "given away" by only her father.

Mine walked down the aisle to escort his parents. He was the first one in (besides the officiant.)

The way my venue was set up, H *had* to walk down the aisle lol - he followed the officiant and his GM followed him.

Mine will be! Our ceremony space doesn't really have a "side entrance" so his only option really is to walk down the aisle but that is what he wants so it worked out great! He and our officiant will walk in together. Our officiant is a retired pastor and an old coworker of my FH so they know each other really well which is why he wants them to walk in together.

My officiant is walking by herself.

Then my fiance will be escorted by his kids down the aisle.

First I would say not to worry about “the norm”. It’s your day so do whatever you want. My husband walked down the aisle with his aunt because his parents are deceased and it was his first wedding band my second. That was very important to him so we did it no matter what people might think. Enjoy your day.

I think it’s becoming more and more normal/traditional. My fiancé is walking in with his mom. He tried to say it was too weird but I pulled up his brothers wedding video on YouTube where he did the same thing and that settled that. My brother is a bridesman and he’ll walk in with my mother, so I think it’ll be really sweet.

My FH originally didn't want to walk down the aisle. However, our Pastor suggested him and FH walk down the aisle together after the grandmothers and mothers are seated. So that is what we are going with. There isn't any one way of doing it. I've seen several different types of ceremonies where the groom / bridal party did different types of entrances.

View Quoted Comment This is part of the reason that my fh wants to walk down. His mom is deceased and dad is not in the picture enough for him to be close to him. He wants to walk with his aunt and have her hold a picture of his mom.

My fiance will walk down the aisle as well! I like the idea and definitely wouldn't tell him no. He should have his moment as well. Also, our venue doesn't have a side entrance.

View Quoted Comment I did Not think about the side entrance thing...there is not one so I guess he is doing it regardless lol

View Quoted Comment Exactly! We really have no choice lol.

View Quoted Comment I think that’s awesome! He should definitely do it!

Why not? 😊 My hubby & I walked together.

I dont want my fiance walking in with my officiant... because she looks like me. Lol.
We haven't gotten this far in the process, but if he wants to walk with his parents or come in the side, he's allowed to do whatever he wants. It's his wedding too.
