Same Sex Wedding - Procession?

John, on February 2, 2015 at 6:50 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone had Ideas or thoughts on how my partner and I should go about doing the procession. I know its normal for the groom to stand up front and the bride to come down the aisle but since it's 2 grooms what do we do?

    You can absolutely have one partner at the 'front' of the aisle and the other come down to meet, but many of my same sex couples have come down either together or each with their parents, one after another. I think it depends on your vision!

    Whatever you want. one of you could walk down, both of you could walk down, both of you could already be standing there. I think it might be cool if you guys both walked down together.

    eta: the stuff celia said already

    Walk up the aisle together. I've been to three same sex weddings. The men, 2 grooms, walked up together. One with two brides: their parents escorted them up aisle, no one was waiting. The third, two brides: one walked with her Dad in a gown the other waited at top of aisle in a suit. Do what feels right for you both!

    You can both walk down the aisle, either together or have someone walk you down separately.

    I always like seeing the reaction on both peoples' faces when they see each other at the wedding ceremony. So, I'd vote for something of that style - either one person in the front and the other walking down the aisle or both coming in from different directions. If you walk down together your guests don't get to see that look.

    You could just have one of you in a white tux and the other in a different color tux and have the white tux walk down the aisle. Or one of you could stop halfway and the other meets you in the middle and you walk together? Its whatever YOU and your FH want!

    I recently have been to 2 same sex weddings (both 2 grooms) and they did it differently than each other. one they both just entered from side doors and met at the altar, neither one walked down the aisle- chairs were set up so there wasn't one.

    the other one had a aisle, and each groom walked in the person of their choosing to 'give them away' so to speak.

    may be best to just look around at what others have done for motivation, and do what you like and what makes you happy Smiley smile

    Just officiated a wedding with 2 brides. One, in slacks, shirt, vest stood up front with me and her best man. Other bride, in wedding gown, walked down the aisle with her dad.

    Are there side doors? I was thinking it would be nice if you came in from the side and met in the middle to complete the walk together. (Edited for grammar)

    My Cousin and his husband walked down with their moms. Only the officiant was at the end of the aisle. I thought it was cute!
