The ushers'
duties
So it's your best buddy's
wedding and you've agreed
to be one of his ushers.
Piece of cake, right?
It can be, but only if you
are sure of what to do on
the big day.
You should arrive at the
church one hour before the
ceremony. Your
boutonniere should be
ready in the vestry or coat
room. For formal daytime
or informal weddings, the
stem goes through the
buttonhold and pinned
from the back so the pin
doesn't show.
Be sure to have a typed
list of people occupying
reserved pews. As each
female guest arrives, ask if
she is a friend of the bride
. or of the groom. Offer your
right arm. Give preference
to the eldest if several
arrive at the same time -
the others may follow or
wait, as they prefer.
As you Lead the woman to
her seat, her escort should
trail behind you. A male
guest arriving alone merely
follows on your right.
Friends of the bride are
seated on the left, of the
groom on the right.
However, if one side of the
church appears to be filling
faster than the other, try to
achieve a balance.
A few minutes before the
processional, escort the
groom's parents to the first
right pew facing the altar.
After they have been
seated, roll the white
carpet down the aisle, if'
one is to be used. Once the
runner has been set down,
quietly direct later arrivals
to seats at the rear of the
church,
The mother of the bride
is the last person to enter
the church before the ,
bridal party. She should be
escorted by the head usher
to the first left pew, second
seat in. The aisle teat is
saved for the bride's father,
after he gives the bride
away.
'Divorced parents are not
seated together. Instead,
the bride's mother and her
friends are seated in the
first pew on the left, while
the father and his friends
occupy the third pew on the
left.
After the bridal party is
in place, the ushers move
to the front of the church
and stand on the right side
of the best man.
