The entrance of the bride is the
ceremony’s first emotional high point. The seating of VIPs, the entrance of the
bridal party and the groom, and the entrance of the ring bearer and flower girl are all
preparatory to her
 entrance. And appropriately so, for the wedding day is the bride’s
day and a wedding ceremony is predominately a female event.
But who should escort her? The honor of escorting the bride into the ceremony is of course
her decision and she may choose to enter in any number of ways. For example, a bride may enter:
- Escorted by her father and/or mother.
- Escorted by her father and step father.
- Escorted by her children.
- Escorted by close friend(s) in lieu of absent or deceased family members.
- Escorted by her groom. In other words the couple walks down the aisle together.
- Unescorted. A strong statement of equality.
Your entrance can be an opportunity to
show gratitude toward someone very special in your life by giving them
the honor of escorting you down the aisle.
