Now--our question this time: do the groomsmen process up the aisle these days or do they come out with the groom? My daughter swears that at every wedding she's been to lately, the guys have wallked up the aisle with or ahead of the bridesmaids. Any wedding I've been to, they walked out with the groom and stood with him during the whole processional.
The church has one aisle, if that makes any difference.

So many have posted their experiences, but I'll just add my own from the past two weddings I've been in (over the past year)
Last year, I was escorted down the aisle and back up with the groomsman (this was a wedding in Michigan, and it was a "fan-shaped" church, so I couldn't tell you how many aisles there were)
Last month, I walked in by myself, and the groomsman walked me back out (more of a rectangular church, with only approximately 7 aisles on either side of the church - this was in New York)
I think it depends on what the bride and groom are comfortable with - in the first wedding, it was nice because the girls were wearing "unstable" heels and I KNOW I would have tripped if the groomsman wasn't there, while in the second the shoes were much more stable, there wasn't a lot of room in the church so having the guys go in ahead of time worked well.
