The church were we were married had the pews set up in a "+"shape - so the bridesmaids walked to the mid point break in the pews where the groomsmen then met them and walked them in the rest of the way. The best man was up front with my husband. Not sure why we did it that way, other than the church's wedding person told us to do it that way.
We had two additional ushers but the groomsmen helped out seating people as well. The ushers were the ones that escourted in the parents right before the processional.
And the father as best man thing is definitely regional, in Evansville it was really common, but here in Indy I have yet to see it.
