I'm having issues figuring out who is going to be included in the processional. I'm having both my parents (divorced) walk me down the aisle so they are accounted for.
My FH's parents are also divorced, and his mother has remarried. I had planned for them to follow the officiant. The question then becomes who will walk with my FH's father who is not married. I was thinking his mother (FH's grandmother) but if we do that then I feel the need to include all grand parents who are (guess what) divorced, so that easily adds 3 more couples.
I know my FH's mother would be upset if she was not part of the processional (and I do think they should be involved), but adding in his parents easily adds 4 more couples. This is in additional to 11 bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Does anyone have this issue of an insanely long processional? Or advice as to where we could cut down to avoid half of the ceremony being taken up by people walking down the aisle?
Thank you!
