The Wedding Procession
The wedding party walks to the church together in a procession (an age-old custom that protected the couple from jealous suitors!)
Limousines are rare. They are not very practical on small, winding roads. Transport usually is by Rolls Royce or vintage car.
Traditionally, English brides had only one adult attendant (as a witness). Today, it is the custom to have many young bridesmaids instead of adult attendants. A flower girl leads the way, sprinkling petals of organ blossoms along the road. This signifies a happy route through life for the bride and bridegroom.
Ushers would be found only at large, formal weddings; guests normally would seat themselves.
