? about your weddings

[Scully]

I've seen Roman Catholic weddings proceed in a number of ways - Groomsmen already standing up front and waited for the Bridesmaids to enter; where the groomsmen walked down the aisle single file followed by the Bridesmaids; and Goomsmen/Bridesmaid paired up while walking down the aisle.

Our Monseignor let us choose the way we liked best. My husband and I preferred the latter. He walked his mother to the altar and my father walked me. At her own wedding, one of my best friends (who was not talking to her father at the time of her nuptials) walked down the aisle by herself - halfway - and her husband met her halfway up the aisle from the altar and they walked arm in arm back towards the priest. It was very touching.

As far as Ushers - we didn't have any. Groomsmen were just Groomsmen! Although I had two of my younger girl cousins stationed by the church doors handing out wedding programs. I'm sure they did double duty letting everyone know where to sit, as well!
