Order of people walking down aisle

Kayla, on May 8, 2019 at 2:08 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 9
For the wedding ceremony how do we seat people/have them walk down the aisle?

brides side:
One or two people walking me down aisle (either my grandpa and maternal grandpa of fiancé or uncle and maternal uncle of fiancé)
bridesmaids
mom (single never married)
dad (not close relationship with, married, 2 kids)
Maternal grandma and grandpa (divorced)


Grooms side
Groomsmen
Biological mom (divorced, never married his dad, 8 yr old son and 20 year old son with girlfriend)
Dad + step-mom (3 young kids)
ex-step mom + husband (1 kid) (considers to be real mom)
maternal grandma + grandpa
paternal grandma + grandpa
step mom’s mom + dad
Ex-step-moms dad
ex-step mom’s mom+husband

and:
flower girls/boys
ring bearer
everyone else (friends, uncle’s/aunts, first cousins, great aunts/uncles, great grandparents, etc. )

ive been to only one wedding in my life and am at a loss on how to plan anything for it.

    Hi Cliodhna,

    wedding planning has not progressed much farther. We have a more concrete wedding date in mind and I asked my fiancé’s maternal grandpa and my grandpa to walk me down the aisle (both accepted). We had a few financial burdens suddenly creep up on us. (Example: went over the railroad tracks in our city....where the back left suspension decided to snap and made the car considered totaled. Was not worth it to fix. So with a toddler we were vehicle-less for about a month).
