The Processional. Spacing and Pacing.

How your bridal attendants walk down the aisle may depend upon the venue. If you are getting married on a hot sandy beach in bare feet, everyone may move quickly! In a more traditional setting, the spacing of attendants and the pace at which they proceed toward the Officiant, adds to the elegance and formality of your ceremony.

When all attendants are in place next to the Officiant, all guests will then rise to honor the Bride as she begins her walk down the aisle. The Bride is most often escorted by a parent. In one recent ceremony performed by Jim Albani, the Bride’s escort was her small dog, wearing a mini backpack which held the couple’s wedding bands.

When planning your ceremony, try to allow time and pace for each element so that each of the beautiful details you have designed may be appreciated by your guests.

The “I Do. Your Complete Wedding Ceremony eBook” is a great tool to help you design and organize your ceremony. This helpful guide was compiled by Jim Albani, Minnesota Wedding Officiant.
