Make sure he/she practices with the father of the bride any words he may say during the‘hand-off’of the bride to the groom at the beginning of the ceremony.  \n  Instruct the maid/matron of honor to take the bride’s flowers before bride and groom move to altar area.  \n  If the bride’s dress has a train, the maid of honor should pass off all flowers to next bridesmaid and set the train for the bride as she moves to the altar area. After bride and train are in place, flowers should be passed back to maid of honor. This may have to be repeated if bride and groom move at other times during the ceremony. The back of the dress will show up in every picture of the ceremony, so do what is necessary to make it look perfect!  \n  Remind the maid of honor to pass flowers back to bride prior to recessional.  \n  Rehearse the passing of rings at the appropriate time during the ceremony.  \nPRACTICE RECESSIONAL WITHOUT MUSIC  \n  Wedding party practices exiting the ceremony area to a designated receiving line or holding area. Determine if ushers/groomsmen will return to escort parents and grandparents from the venue and who they will be.  \n~~ ~~ [LindaJoyceJones.com](LindaJoyceJones.com) All rights reserved. ~~ ~~  \nHave the parents and grandparents practice exiting the ceremony area to a designated receiving line or holding area.  \n  Determine how guests will be released – on their own, row by row by ushers beginning at the front, row by row by bride and groom, or some other method. Are there specific instructions that the guests need before they depart (proceed to receiving line, proceed to reception, gather at exit to see off bride and groom, etc. )? These instructions should be given to the audience after the bridal party has departed the ceremony area.  \nPRACTICE PROCESSIONAL WITHOUT MUSIC  \n  Grandparents are ushered in and seated, typically groom’s grandparents first, then bride’s grandparents.  \n  Parents are ushered in and either seated or escorted to altar to light candles, etc. If straight seating, the groom’s parents go first, then the bride’s parents (just the mother if dad is walking her down the aisle, this varies) . If mothers are going the altar to light candles, etc. , the groom’s father should stand at the parent’s row until the mothers are ushered back to the row and seated.  \n  Officiant enters with groom and groomsmen (unless groomsmen are escorting bridesmaids down the aisle) .  \n  Bridesmaids enter, followed by maid/matron of honor, ring bearer, and flower girl. Each person should allow the person preceding him/her to get half-way down the aisle before proceeding.  \n  Bride (and father if being escorted) enters. Mother of the bride stands when music for bride begins, cuing the rest of the guests to stand.  \n  Determine whether the officiant will instruct the guests to sit at the appropriate time, or if the mother of the bride sits as a cue.  \n  When entire wedding party is in place, stop and have the wedding party check for spacing and have each one find a reference point to they can land in the same place on the big day.  \nPRACTICE RECESSIONAL WITH MUSIC  \n  Practice recessional same as above with musical cues as many times as needed.  \nPRACTICE PROCE","cbCaidakudoaGkkB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidakudoaGkkB","pdf",64331,"English","# REHEARSAL CHECKLIST\n## Practice Ceremony\n## Practice Recessional Without Music\n## Practice Processional Without Music\n## Practice Recessional With Music\n## Practice Processional With Music\n## Final Announcements and Review","[{\"question\":\"What should be checked before the rehearsal begins?\",\"answer\":\"Arrive early and ensure the rehearsal area is set up properly.
