Etiquette Q&A: "Whose Parents Walk First During the Processional?" (1)Q. When walking up the church aisle, who goes first, the bride’s mother or the groom’s parents?

A. The groom’s parents precede the bride’s mother during the processional. Here’s a rundown: After the ushers have seated all of the guests, the grandparents start up the aisle, followed by the groom’s parents. Then the bride’s mother takes her turn. She is the last to be seated before the bridal party procession begins.
