Do Catholic weddings have bridesmaids?

wedding
In some Catholic ceremonies, the groomsmen and bridesmaids walk down in pairs. In others, the groomsmen are already at the altar with the groom and the bridesmaids walk down one by one and then leave in pairs. The Maid/Matron of Honor and Bridesmaid or Best Man leave right before the bride and groom.
Also, do bridesmaids have to be Catholic?
@pierogi: You don't have to be Catholic to be a bridesmaid. It sounds like your friend will have a full Mass, so expect to be there for about an hour. There will be periods when the Catholics are kneeling or standing. You will be at the front of the church, so you should ask your friend what she wants you to do.
Similarly, you may ask, who can be an attendant at a Catholic wedding?
A: Although the Catholic Church prefers that both the best man and the maid of honor be Catholic, only one must be. Your maid of honor cannot receive the Eucharist, but she can stand up for you and follow the readings. To be absolutely sure of your church's policy, call and ask your rectory.
