Grandparents

My H walked down all of our grandmas. Our processional was H and his 2 gmas, H and my grandma, H and his parents, then he stayed up at the altar. My dad walked my mom, then came back. Bridal party walked in pairs, then my dad escorted me. This worked because our aisle wasn't super long. It took probably 8 minutes total.

Neither mothers nor the grandmothers before them, walk down the aisle as part of the processional, unless they are giving the bride away. They are seated in the last part of the prelude. Usually a son, uncle, or brother of the bride or one of the mothers, walks them down the aisle, or an usher does. Sometimes GM are also ushers. The escort for grandmother walks her, and her husband or SO ( if there is one not in wedding party) walks just behind them. GM one family, GM other, then any step mom's, then Mom's. When a family member guy is escort, it works to alternate families, as you do not wait until one is all the way to her seat before starting the next. When the older women andvtheir men are seated, there are about 2 minutes more preludr played, so latecomers can hurry to seats, and everyone in bridal party can get into place, while Moms and grands settle themselves. Then the Processional music starts, and after one musical phrase, the first WP steps forward. Who depends if guys are all waiting down front with the groom, or in the processional. Your choice.

We didn’t have my old peeps walk down it was easier for them to find their seats before the ceremony started
