An Overview of the Wedding Procession
A wedding procession refers to the formal sequence of participants walking down the aisle to their places in the ceremony. It typically includes the entrance of the wedding party and culminates in the entrance of the couple. Here’s a detailed look at the wedding procession:
The Wedding Procession vs. Walking Down the Aisle
Wedding Procession: This encompasses the entire sequence of people walking down the aisle, including the officiant, wedding attendants, and the couple.
Walking Down the Aisle: This specifically refers to the act of a member of the couple walking towards the altar, typically accompanied by a significant person in their life.
Timing of the Procession
The procession usually happens at the beginning of the wedding ceremony.
It marks the start of the formal ceremony, signaling to guests that the event is about to begin.
Order of the Procession
Officiant: The person leading the ceremony walks in first and takes their place at the altar.
Partner 1 (Traditionally the Groom): Accompanied by their parents or entering solo, one partner makes their way to the altar. This role is traditionally the groom but can be anyone in the couple.
Attendants of Partner 1 (Traditionally Groomsmen): Part of the wedding party, attendants can either walk in singly or paired with other attendants.
Attendants of Partner 2 (Traditionally Bridesmaids): Also part of the wedding party, these attendants follow the first set or walk alongside them.
Ring Bearer and Flower Child: Part of the wedding party, the ring bearer carries the rings, while the flower child scatters petals along the aisle.
Honor Attendant (Traditionally Maid/Matron of Honor): The last of the wedding party to enter before the second partner, often carrying the bouquet or another symbolic item.
Partner 2 (Traditionally the Bride) and Escort: The second partner, traditionally the bride, makes the grand entrance last. They are often accompanied by a significant person in their life, such as a parent, sibling, or friend.
What Occurs During the Procession
The procession is a formal and symbolic entrance, with each participant playing a specific role.
The entrance of the couple is often seen as the highlight, with everyone’s attention focused on them.
Songs Played During the Procession
Prelude Music: Played as guests arrive and are seated, setting the tone for the ceremony. (Recommend music lists: religious songs or genre of choice)
Processional Music: Specific to the wedding party and couple's entrance.
Partner 1's Entrance (Traditionally the Groom’s Party Processional): Songs can vary based on personal preference. This refers to the entrance of the first partner and their attendants. (Recommend music lists: songs for grooms, LGBTQ songs, or genre of choice)
Wedding Party’s Entrance (Traditionally the Bridal Party Processional): Songs can vary based on personal preference. (Recommend music lists: religious songs or genre of choice)
Partner 2's Entrance (Traditionally the Bride’s Entrance): Often more dramatic and distinctive to highlight this partner's entrance. (Recommend music lists: songs for brides, LGBTQ songs, or genre of choice)
Interlude Music: Played during moments of transition, such as the lighting of the unity candle. (Recommend music lists: religious songs or genre of choice)
