A current trend is for couples to face their guests during the ceremony. They write their own vows and incorporate their children in the case of second marriages. Pets are also part of the day. Brides riding their horse or walking their dog to the altar are not unusual.
Grooms typically escort their mothers down the aisle.
Brides are escorted by both father and/or stepfather, or by her mother, mother and father together, or grandparents or by a significant person in their life.
Traditional guest books remain popular, however, a trend that has been around for many years is to display the couple’s engagement photograph on an easel at the ceremony entrance. The photo is matted, framed without glass and takes the place of a guest book when guests sign the matting. Some couples ask their guests to sign a scroll which they later have framed.
