Processional - who is included?

In this situation, I wouldn't include her in the procesional.
I'm in a similar boat: FH's parents are divorced and both have a partner.
He doesn't want to include the partners in our processional but both parents want and said: either they walk down with them or no one at all. We ultimately decided to skip the processional altogether at his request (we're having a very small wedding party, a MOH and his sister as his 'best woman' only) and I told him "I totally support you on this one". In fact, neither of us is a fan of processionals as guests (and grand entrance with the DJ/MC speaking like you're watching an intodruction for a NBA game, a superbowl or a boxing fight during the reception LOL, either) coz we don't care about wedding parties and parents + grandparents of the couples, we only want to see the happy couple, so not having my own parents doing it is not a big deal to me. No one is escorting me, neither my dad or my mom.Bottom line: Do what you and your future husband want. Never,ever do anything 'out of obligation' or because 'things are supposed to be done that way' , especially when it comes to the most important day of your life. You ( and FH) shouldn't care what his family says/thinks about this, including his dad, as long as the 2 of you are comfortable with what you planned for YOUR wedding day.

View Quoted Comment I’d have girlfriend seated like the regular guests, and his dad can walk in alone or with your FH mom if they’re ok with that.


Mine is escorting his mom then just taking his place up front after she sits down. His dad passed away a couple of years ago, so she’s the only family not in the wedding party (brother In laws excluded)

No she would be seated as a regular guest not in the family row.
