    So I finally got to see the place I will be getting married in the other day...it's great for what we want: simple, local, meaningful, and intimate. The only real problem I forsee are the fact that there are 2 aisles and neither one is a center aisle. I am NOT a two ailse bride haha! What should I do? I don't want to utilize both aisles, but the front of the chapel is centered while the seating is not. I've thought about blocking off the second aisle and trying to camouflage it, but how and with what? Any suggestions?

    Why can't you use both?  Come in one aisle as a single woman and leave down the other aisle as a married couple.

    The traditional way to deal with this is to use one aisle for the processional, and one for the recessional.  But you could mix it up any way you want:

    1. Have the groom and his attendants come down one aisle, and the bride and hers down the other.  (I rather like this one; the typical ceremony seems to treat the groom as unimportant, while only the bride makes the big entrance.)
    2. Alternate aisles during both the processional and recessional--e.g., GM and BM #1 come up one, GM and BM #2 come up the other, etc.
    3. Have ushers seat people, and not use any seats that are on the outside of the second aisle.   At that point, the only aisle that is between people is the one you use for everything.  You don't even have to block the other one off.

    I don't really want to use both because you enter from the back and the right (when facing the front) and to use the other aisle I (or we) would have to walk all the way across the back of the room. Unfortunately we don't have any ushers because just picking out 6 people for our bridal party was hard enough. Haha

    One of the bee bloggers (maybe Mrs. Lamb?) did a post about this a few months ago. I'll try to find it for you!

    Edit: Here it is! Miss Pretzel also has an aisle conundrum!

    Yeah, I read both of those. I looked all over trying to decide and really hoping to find someone that had only used one of the aisles. Thank you though!
