No Aisle Walking

Is there another entrance you both can walk in without walking down an aisle? I'm thinking maybe a door close to the front where your ceremony will take place. Other then that I feel walking down the aisle is the best way.

May I ask exactly why you don't want to walk down an aisle?

This strikes me as a bit awkward. So you're just going to be standing up there while your guests find their seats and wait for everyone to arrive? Is there a side entrance you can come in from after everyone is seated?

I feel like the least awkward way to do it would be for you to just both walk down the aisle together. I know you said you don't want to at all, but I just don't see another way for it to not be awkward. It's only about 30 seconds, maybe less. And you'll be there together to make it easier!

Talk with your officiant about a graceful way to begin the service with you already standing in the ceremony space. I would recommend they ask all your guests to be seated as the ceremony is about to begin. They can take it from there. Best wishes!

Why don't you both stand at the back of the aisle and greet guests as they arrive, then when everyone is seated, your officiant and both of you can walk down the aisle together (with or without music). That way, you don't have the traditional processional, you aren't walking alone, you get to greet your guests, and there's a signal to everyone that the ceremony is starting!

I would talk to your officiant and see what they suggest. I'm definitely all for nontraditional ceremonies--do what works for you!

MrsSki ftw as usual.

This is just what we did

I think MrsSki's idea would work best

Sorry it has taken me a while to get back. We aren't really having an aisle at all. There just isn't room since we are doing it all at the hall. So we're just going to have people sitting at their tables and we are going to just do the ceremony on the dance floor in front of a back drop. I THINK. I like the idea of us walking in from the side, there is a brides room we could hang out in until the time is right and then we can come in together. that sounds like a cool idea. I will talk to the Officiant too. Thanks everyone.
