As far as everyone seating themselves...My family sat on my side, Jonny's family (the 8 of them that were able to make it in from out of state) sat on his side....and all of my sorority sisters, and their dates, and fraternity friends from college sat on his side. He noticed it and said "I cant believe your girls did that for me...." because otherwise, it would have been...um about a 8:1 difference.

Mr. Winnibug and I didn't want to make people choose "his side" or "her side", so the ushers just sat people wherever

I have seen dedicated ushers, and groomsmen that act as ushers. I've seen the groomsmen standing at the front of the church alongside the groom, and I've seen groomsmen escort bridesmaids down the aisle (but I've never seen the groomsmen walk alone down the aisle). I've never seen the dad as a Best Man. All of the jewish weddings I've been to have had the parents walk the bride and groom down the aisle. And I've been to weddings with no ushers, and many that did not divide the sides of the church for bride/groom. I've also seen a flower girl "escort" the ring bearer, who was an English Bulldog.

I prefer for the bridesmaids to walk alone down the aisle (just seems more traditional to me), and since my father has passed away, my mom will be escorting me when that day comes.

I am having one seperate usher who will hand out the programs and assist in seating people. =) The groomsmen will walk with the bridesmaids.

We had groomsmen (my brother, his brother, and his dad) and separate ushers (my cousin and his fraternity brother). With our setup and schedule, it flowed a lot easier.
