Deerly Beloved: I guess this is why people rehearse...

Hive, a quick tip- if you are not planning on having a formal rehearsal, that's totally fine! But you do in fact need to have an order for your processional and let all of your bridal party know the plan!  Apparently, I completely forgot about this, and after we finished our family portraits (and my favorite people in the world were done fixing the chuppah - I <3 you all!), I was all excited to relax and drink some champagne....

But the relaxing didn't last all that long, because the groomsmen showed up wanting to know how exactly they were supposed to walk down the aisle.  So I had someone quickly run out and grab me a program, and I began doling out instructions (since the programs had our bridal party in a specific order): Photobucket Photobucket Here you can see the guys studying the playbook program.  Mr Elk looks super interested in this discussion- you can see him laughing with my bridesmaids in the background!Photobucket Luckily it didn't take too long to get everyone situated, and our Maitre'd was taking notes the entire time (so she could ensure everyone lined up appropriately!).  Before I knew it, we were heading outside.  It was really time, we were about to get married!

 I should note that I COMPLETELY made up the processional order on the spot. I didn't really put that much thought into who would walk when prior to the wedding day, so if I was completely wrong about what normally happens, whoops!  Even though the order wasn't perfect (as in the flower girl didn't come out directly before me), I think everything worked out well!
