Who's on First? Part 2!

So for a Jewish Ceremony things are done a little differently - however, some Christians have adapted some of the typically Jewish traditions to their ceremony. I think it's nice because the Jewish traditions really show how much family is involved in your lives.

A little explanation:


The Rabbi (R) walks down first, sometimes with the Cantor (C) which is optional, but a nice touch, the Cantor usually sings down the aisle and it's really beautiful!

The Cantor is followed by the Groomsmen (GM) either in single file or together in pairs. Then the Bestman (BM2) is next.

The Father of the Groom (FOG) along with the Groom (G) and the Mother of the Groom (MOG) are next -all together.

The Bridesmaids (BM) are next again, either single file or together. Followed by the Maid of Honor (MOH).

Then the Ring Bearer (RB) and Flowergirl (FG) either together (which I think is totally cute) or separately. Either way is totally fine!

Then the Father of the Bride (FOB) the Bride (B) and the Mother of the Bride (MOB).

All of the family members stand under the huppah (Jewish wedding canopy) which can be made from an Indian sari, or any kind of fabric that covers the bride and groom and their families. Just make sure that the creation will not offend any of the guests.

The bridal party doesn't usually stand underneath the huppah, but to the sides.

More tomorrow on the ceremony - now that you know the order of how to get up there, what happens next? Stay tuned!
