DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

in the church of the bridesmaids, maid
of-honor and ushers.
DO the ushers leave for the church
with the bridegroom and best man?

guests are seated in church before the
bride enters, and after the guests are
seated do they stand in the rear OF
the church or do they stand at the
altar with the maid-Of-honor and the
best man? A.
No, the best man goes to the home
of the bridegroom, TO be of any SER

best man and bridegroom leave for
the church together.

the hour set for the ceremony. They
