• Assist in addressing invitatioins
• Participate in all pre-wedding parties
• Arrive at dressing site 2 hours before ceremony
• Arrive dressed at ceremony site 1 hour before the wedding for photographs
• Walk behind ushers in order of height during the processional, either in pairs or in single file
• Stand to the left of Maid or Matron of Honor and slightly behind her during the ceremony, facing the officiant
• Are escorted out by ushers (to ushers right) immediately following Maid of Honor and Best Man during recessional
