§  Most often, this refers to the seating of parents and grandparents
§  It is recommended that you use the same song as the attendants if only one or two people are going to be seated
o   2. Will the groom walk down the aisle?
§  Often times, the groom will either walk down the aisle, or appear at the front of the ceremony altar
o   3. Will the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle?
§  Traditionally, the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle together, however, they can walk separately or appear at the ceremony altar awaiting the arrival of the bride
o   4. How many attendants will be walking down the aisle?
o   5. Will you be having a flower girl or ring bearer?
§  Your flower girl and ring bearer can walk down the aisle together or separate
