Who is walking down the aisle first?

Yep definitely bridesmaids first and then you and your dad.

If the bridesmaids came after you I doubt anyone would be looking at them because they would be looking at you!

Not that I wanna freak you out with only one week to go!?

I want my BM's to go first so that they get to be seen too, and also they wont be scuffling to get past to sit down either. But in the booklet we got from the Vicar when we saw her, she said I have to go first. I am going to try and persuade her otherwise!!!

I think I'm going to have bridesmaids first, cos there's a part in the music I want to walk in to and it isn't for a while, so I figure by the time the BM have gone, it'll be at the right place for me!

Good luck for next week x

I'm hoping it'll be bridesmaids first and then me and dad, but i'll know more tomorrow when we go for the rehearsal.

Traditionally in Britain, Bride and father then BMs. In America it is traditional to have BMs first (to do with having yard weddings).

I'm having an American style wedding anyway so the BMs are going first. I'm walking by myself as I'm not having anyone give me away.

My dad married an American and they walked down the isle together, she didn't have anyone to give her away either. Not sure if that is tradition in America or not.

Not sure I would like that though. Prefer the idea of walking towards the groom

November Bride - I've been to a couple of weddings where the couple have walked down the aisle together. I think its a nice idea and I would have done it myself if I was getting married in a building not outside (with a very short 5m long aisle).

This is what Brides says if anyone is interested.

I am having my daughter go in first and when she reaches my H2B then my 2 adult BMs will go in. Only when they reach the front will i make my entrance with my dad. This is for a number of reasons - my H2B wants my daughter to go first so that he gets to see her and she can stand with him as she is not his daughter he sees this as a symbol of him marrying into our family and not just me ?

My sis is one of my BMs and she is mentally handicapped - letting her make her entrance before me gives her an opportunity to be noticed as well. The other Bm is my best friend and my sis feels safe with her - hence why they are entering together.

The last reason is for purely selfish reasons - i want people to be waiting for as long as poss so my entrance is noticed that bit more and the music i have chosen has a particular bit 2 mins in that i want to walk into - having the BMs go first means that i can enter when i want to and not leave people thinking i'm not there

I dont think that is selfish at all, it is your one and only day so I think it is a great idea to build up anticipation and it will be even more exciting when you do get to walk in.

Plus it will no doubt be very overwhelming so I think it is a good idea to have even just a minute for a breather without everyone around you.

I keep threatening to my H2B that it is a ploy and i may not turn up at all lol I am not a very 'girly' girl - i don't own a dress and never wear makeup etc do i am also looking forward to all the guests reaction when they see that actually i can look feminine and elegant!

I'm going first with Dad.

I would dearly love to do it the other way, but my FGs are tiny and very shy and I think they would be too scared to go first!

This is so lovely, I just got a bit choked up when I read it ?

I'm also coming in last (all eyes on me!)

My FG is going first followed by my 2 adult BMs and then dad and I last

HTH x

I had:

vicar, Matron of honour, bridesmaid, flowergirl, me and dad - they all had their moment and it gave me longer with my Daddy!!
