What is the order of a Christian wedding processional?
A Christian wedding processional begins with the clergy, the groom, and the best man entering from the side to the altar area of the church. Following that, grandparents, parents of the groom, and the mother of the bride all enter the church in processional. They are followed by groomsmen, bridesmaids, the maid of honor, and finally, the bride with her father. If we are not in a church situation, we may choose to have the groom enter at a different point in the processional and walk in, perhaps, immediately preceded by his best man. That’s something we decide in our conversations with the bride and groom before the wedding.
