What is the standard procedure for a western wedding?

1. After the music slowly stops, the host comes in. The first person to occupy the center position of the wedding conference table stands in front of the guests.

2. The groom and his parents enter the stadium. Traditionally, the groom's parents are brought to their reserved seats by the greeters before the wedding. However, the younger generation now feels that this does not emphasize the importance of the parents. As a result, the vast majority of grooms will choose to walk down the aisle with their parents and stand in their parents' seats. After the groom embraces their parents, the parents will sit in their seats and then walk to the left of the host and stand in front of the guests.

3. The bridesmaids and groomsmen enter the venue.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen enter the venue in three ways:

The main best man enters the venue with the groom. The other groomsmen and bridesmaids enter the venue side by side. The primary bridesmaid enters the venue alone.

The best man and bridesmaids walk down the aisle in pairs, with the best man and bridesmaids at the end of the line. Upon entering the wedding, the first Best Man and Maid of Honor station will be at the end near the Queen Mother, with the Primary Best Man and Maid of Honor standing closest to Sina.

All groomsmen enter first, and then the bridesmaids enter the wedding aisle one by one with the music playing.

Best man and maid of honor remember after the groom enters the venue and before the bride enters the venue.

4. The flower seller and the ring seller boy enter the stadium.

The ring seller boy holds a small ring pillow (usually, a fake ring is chosen here; the real ring is in the best man's pocket). The flower seller girl holds the petals filled with flowers. Upon entering the aisle, the flower girl sprinkles the petals on the white carpet where the bride walks.

The greeters will only unroll the rolled up white carpet early in the last section of the wedding venue, where the female flower girl stands behind the bridesmaids and the male ring bearer stands behind the best man on the wedding stage. The bridesmaids and groomsmen enter after the bride enters before the flower girl ring children enter.

5. The bride and her parents enter the stadium.

In traditional customs, the bride is accompanied by her father. However, the younger generation now considers the mother equally important. They are both accompanied by their parents. At this moment, the wedding is coming to an end. The most exciting moment is coming when the bride is about to come in. As the bride and her parents reach the end of the white carpet, they have to pause for a moment.
