Music for Mothers, Parents and Grandparents
Many couples choose to have special music as their mothers come down the aisle, so this might be considered the first processional. The father of the groom either escorts or follows behind an usher who escorts the mother of the groom to the front. The father of the bride, of course, escorts the bride. BTW…most of these compositions are interchangeable with other processionals, particularly the bridesmaids' procession.
