What is the order of a wedding ceremony?

The processional begins with bridesmaids and groomsmen walking down the aisle, typically paired up. The maid of honor and best man walk down after all other bridesmaids and groomsmen have made their way down the aisle. The ring bearer will then carry the rings to the altar, followed by the flower girl.

Who walks in first at a wedding?

Traditionally, the mother-of-the-bride goes first, signalling that the procession is about to begin. The bridesmaids tend to walk down next, either one at a time, or side by side sometimes.

Who needs to be at the wedding rehearsal?

Only those who will actually take part in the rehearsal—the bride and groom, their parents, the officiant, the wedding party (including any child attendants), and readers—plus their spouses or dates, need to be invited to the rehearsal itself and the festivities that follow.
