Ceremony... Getting in the Church

The processional was the hardest part to figure out. 

The traditional french way: the groom goes first with his mom (on his left), then the father of the groom with the mother of the bride, the witnesses, the grand parents, brothers and sisters. Then the Bride with her father followed by the "enfants d'honneur" (bridesmaids?)

The traditional American way: Grandmothers of the groom seated by an usher, followed by their husbands, then same for the grandmothers of the bride. The mother of the groom, then mother of the bride escorted by ushers... Then the officiant and the groom walk in from the side, followed by the attendants down the aisle. The flower girl and ring bearer walk in, and finally the bride and her father. 

This is what we decided on doing:

Me and my father waiting to walk down the aisle

The Groom and his mother first (french tradition)

The officiant greeting the processional 

The grand parents, first the grand parents of the groom then the grand parents of the bride.

Then the father of the groom with the mother of the bride

The brother and sister (groomsmen and bridesmaid)

Best man and maid of honor

The groom waiting at the front of the church

The officiant greets my dad and I and walks in front of us down the aisle

I know I didn't pick the nicest photo of my dad and I, but I chose that one to make a point. While walking down the aisle, I noticed that you couldn't even see people's faces... just cameras. It was really strange to not even be able to identify who was there, because every single one of the guests were taking pictures. Digital cameras are great, everyone wants a picture, but I would have loved seeing people, not only flashes.
