Groom and best man follow.

Processional starts.
Take your places (in the predetermined order).
6:40 p.m.
Proceed. If you're the maid of honor, you usually precede the bride or go just before the flower girl. Remember to stand tall, walk gracefully and slowly, and appear to be moved (instead of exhausted) by the whole experience. When you're all gathered up front, look out toward the back and wait for the bride. As she starts down the aisle, savor the sight. Make a mental note to tell the bride exactly what it was like to see her in that beautiful, life-changing moment.
