Ceremony Line Up
Places Everyone!
The altar lineups for formal Christian and Jewish weddings are illustrated below. The left side of the church is the bride’s side and the right is the groom’s side (looking from back to front). During the Christian ceremony, the bride meets the groom at the altar, and her parents remain seated throughout the wedding service. In the Jewish wedding, the bridal couple is escorted down the aisle by both sets of parents, who remain standing during the ceremony.
