Answer Margie:
Hopefully I get this to you in time!
Coming into the church, the bestman will walk in with the groom and the Officiant.
The bridesmaid's will walk in opposite of how they are standing. The girl farthest away from the bride will walk in first. If the guys are walking the girls in, they will walk with their escort. If not, then the groomsmen will walk in with the groom and bestman.
The Jr. groom will follow the bridesmaids and then the Jr. bridesmaids will walk in 2x2.
The maid and matron of honor will walk in with the one farthest away from the bride first. The ringbear and then the flowergirl will go immediately before the bride.
Walking out will be the exact opposite except have the bestman escort both the maid and matron of honor with one on each arm.
