I know, I know this is kind of a stupid question! Here is my situation...Both my parents and my FH parents are divorced. His parents are both remarried and both of my parents are single. Okay this is where it gets a little confusing. While I was growing up my grandparents on my mothers side got divorced and then both my grandmother and grandfather have been remarried. Then a few years back my real grandfather passed away leaving my step-grandmother (who is still a big part of my life). My grandparents on my fathers side have both passed away! My FH has only one set of grandparents.
Here it is all laid out:
FH Grandma & Grandpa
My Step-Grandma (was married to real grandpa)
My Real-Grandma & Step Grandpa
My Single Mom
My Single Dad
FH Step-Mom & Dad
FH Step-Dad & Mom
Where I am from it is customary for all these people to walk down the aisle before the bridesmaids! What order do I put them in?
One more question: I have some family members that I did not ask to be a traditional part in the wedding, does anyone have any ideas for any non-traditional roles?

If my etiquette memory serves me correctly the processional should be as follows:
FH Grandma & Grandpa
My Step-Grandma (was married to real grandpa)
My Real-Grandma & Step Grandpa
FH Step-Mom & Dad
FH Step-Dad & Mom
My Single Mom
My Single Dad (Your father should enter with you if he is giving you away, if not he should be seated just before your mother)
As far as what rows to seat them on- your mother and the groom's mother get the front rows on their respective sides. The others you can seat according to how comfortable you think they'll feel. For people not in the wedding you can have guestbook attendants, servers, greeters, etc. Be sure to get a corsage for people in these "special" roles.

Is this the correct order for processional:
1. Bridesmaids
2. Flowergirl
3. Bride
...or does the flowergirl go BEFORE the bridesmaids?
Are any of you having your bridesmaids walk down the aisle with your groomsmen (for the processional)? Or are you just having the bridesmaids walk in single file?

All the weddings I've seen have had the flower girl(s) and/or (if no) ring bearer walk down the aisle just before the bride.
The guys are going to meet the girls about three pews back from the front and escort them to their seats at the front. But the girls will be walking down the aisle single file. Did that make sense the way I said that? Well, quik answer, yes, single file. :-)

We are having the groomsmen walk up with the bridesmaids. There is side doors in the back of the church the guys will come out one and the girls will come out the other(now they are still in the back of the church behind the last pew.) They will meet at the main entrance (in the back still) and walk down together. We are also having 2 jr. bridesmaids (one for my sis and one for me)they are walking down side by side so they don't feel totally alone coming down the isle.
Hope this helps.
