    Okay. Here is my small delimma... I'm getting married in a traditional church [two sides with one very long aisle]. I don't want two people to roll out the runner in the middle of the ceremony... I feel like it's distracting, boring, and would just take too much time. So, I want to have the aisle runner already there... but I need some creative ideas to make sure no one else walks down the isle until the ceremony is started.

    the other part of the problem... at my church when you walk in, to the right is our sound board and THEN the pews start. To the left there is room to walk behind and go down the other aisle that lines the wall, but how could I still block off the middle aisle AND make sure my guests can get to their seats?? Does this make sense?? I wish I could draw a picture...

     but, if you understand what I'm talking about and could help it would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

    I would block off the center aisle by tying a ribbon across the aisle at the back pews to block off access-- people won't untie or walk under the ribbon, hopefully!  :)  Are you planning on having ushers?  I would have a few ushers, to guide people to the left and right aisles, for seating.  Sounds like having the ushers will solve your problem.  You could station one directly at the entrance to the pews, and he can direct people to either the right or left side, and you could have additional ushers there to escort individual guests to their seats.

    Ushers. That's the best way to keep people off the aisle: someone there to tell them which way to go instead.
