Short answer
A second wedding processional follows the same basic order as any wedding, but you can adapt it to suit your family situation, such as including children or skipping traditional roles. There is no fixed rule, so plan what feels right for you.
There is no special legal order for a second wedding, so you are free to design the processional however you like. Many couples choose a simpler or more relaxed sequence. You might walk in together, or have your wedding party enter first and then you follow.
If you have children, you can include them in the processional in a way that feels comfortable, such as walking with a member of the wedding party or entering with you. Parents may be seated beforehand or walk in with you. Adult children might stand as witnesses or give a reading instead of walking in the processional.
- Decide who walks and who is already seated.
- Include children in a role that suits them.
- Keep the music and pace calm.
- Rehearse once if it helps everyone feel at ease.
Some families prefer a shorter or more informal order, which is perfectly fine. If you need legal guidance, check with the register office or your place of worship.
