My brother is a chosson and thinks he should walk to the chuppah first, followed by his siblings. I, (his married sister) think the chossons grandparents go first, followed by his siblings, then chosson with his parents. then they start the chuppah, then the kallahs family and the nieces and nephews/flower girls, then the kallah and her parents. what is the consensus? I know some weddings the siblings dont all walk down, but for those who do, do the siblings go before or after the chosson? (At my wedding my husb family and nieces and nephews went first, then my husband).

Everybody who's walking down goes first, then chosson with parents, then kallah with parents, then the chuppah.

Everyone on the Chattan side goes down first
Then the Chattan and his parents
Then all the kallahs family
All the flower girls
Then the kallah and parents.

Usually there is someone at the hall who lines everyone up.
They know the right way they do this many times

Chatan and kalla are the last ones on their respective sides. Mazel tov!

The family is the opening act - the hattan is the show. And repeat for the Kalla.

I did see a wedding where the groom came in first, before his family. I had never seen that before, but I don't go to that many weddings.

I've seen parents of chosson who want to see their other kids and grandkids walk down so they go first. Usually not this way though.

I have seen chosson first. Then the grandparents, then the siblings. Then kallahs grandparents, siblings and kallah herself.

Mazel tov. This is one of those things that totally doesn't matter and that no one will remember the day after the wedding. Do whatever the bride and groom want.

Ha!
In Israel, the men escort the chosson to the chuppa then the kallah is escorted to the chuppa.
No procession.

What procession?
The spouses go. Some alone, some with father, some with same gender parents, some with their parents.

Are you in Israel? In the U.S, at least where we live and at all the chassunas I have been too including in NY, the siblings, nieces and nephews walk down the aisle, not just chosson kallah and parents. Our family is just fighting over the order.
