ORDER OF CEREMONY
The Processional
|
This is the part where the wedding party walks down the aisle and takes their places for the ceremony. You can each make your way to the altar separately, symbolizing the fact that you're coming from different backgrounds.
In a Christian procession, the bride is escorted by her father or Mother, while the groom waits for her at the altar. In a Jewish procession, the groom's parents escort him down the aisle, and then the bride's parents escort her down the aisle. |
