I Need Advice/Help!!!!!

My suggestion for gifts...get each of your parents a nice frame that you can put a wedding picture of you into afterwards. They made really cute ones for the Father of the Bride that has a space for a picture of you as a little girl...maybe one of his favorites, and then one on your wedding day and an inscription that says "I`ll always be Daddy`s Little Girl" or something like that. His parents could could share one since they are still together.

Re: the ceremony processional...usually the guys and the groom stand at the alter with the officiant and only the girls come down the aisle, although it is also proper to have the attendants come down as couples. The last (and generally shortest) BM goes first and the Maid of Honor is right in front of the bride. If there are flowergirl/ringbearer...they proceed right in front of the MOH. Then the bride with her Father...bride on his right. At the alter area, the bride and Dad stand together until the officiant asks `who gives this woman to be married" He says "I do" or "Her mother and I do" and then presents the brides hand to the groom, gives her a kiss and sits down, while the groom escorts the bride the rest of the way to the officiant. For the ring exchange, the bride hands her bouquet off to the MOH to hold. The MOH gives it back right after the couple have been pronounced man and wife. Everyone goes back down the aisle in couples after the B and G.

If I didn`t answer all your questions, I`ll write again. I cannot read yours while answering. Happy to help with anything else too. JoAnne
