Q.
I have been asked to be Matron
of Honor, there is also a Maid of Honor. Please advise me as
to the logistics in the processional/recessional order for the
both of us
A.
Having both a maid of
honor and a matron of honor is becoming increasingly
common. When this occurs, the bride must decide how
she wants to handle the duties. I suggest that she
divide them up so that one person stands next to
her, one signs the marriage license, one gives the
toast at the reception, etc.
The order of the
processional will depend on the size of the aisle at
the church and how the bride wants to handle
things. If the aisle is wide, the two of you can
walk in together with the person who will stand next
to the bride being on the right. If the aisle is
narrow or the bride doesn't like the look of two
people together, then the person who stands next to
the bride will walk in last and the other person
just before her. There do not need to be two best
men. It is fine for one person to walk with a
groomsman. The guests don't really care.
