It's a younger couple.

My only advice is to speak with the bride and find out EXACTLY how to pronounce everyones names. There is nothing worse than being introduced to the wrong name. I even saw on The People's Court once a DJ that said the bride and grooms first and last names incorrectly. It was pathetic.

My DJ provided a paper where I can list all of the pertinent information, like the father/daughter song, the first dance song, the entrance song, etc. And there was also space for a list of up to 15 couples that are attendants (bridesmaid escorted by a groomsman), a section for the maid of honor and best man, parents of the bride and groom, etc. This made sure that the DJ had the info right. If you get the sheet and you're unsure that you don't know how to pronounce something, ask the bride and then write it phonetically on the sheet. Believe me, she'll be happier you asked instead of getting it wrong at the reception. I remember seeing on TV that a bride's name was announced as Lisa and not Leah by the DJ, and the guy actually denied it even though he was on tape. Do whatever you can to be sure in the first place; all brides will appreciate that. Good luck!

Age does not matter. You generally start with the parents of the Groom and then the parents of the Bride. If either of them have grandparents then they are introduced first. once you introduce the parents and grandparents you begin with the wedding party itself. Start with the ring bearer and flower girl, then any junior brides maids, then the grooms men/ushers should be paired with the brides maids and introduced in pairs and then the maid of honor and the best man can either be introduced as a pair or seperately and finally " for the first time anywhere I proudly present the Bride and Groom, Mr and Mrs So and So.
You can dress it up or down according to style and taste but that is the basics of the wedding party introductions.

You generally ask them how they want to be introduced and what music they want to use. Make absolutely certain you know how to pronounce eveyone's name's correctly. Write them phonetically if need be. You can go by couples starting with the attendants and working your way up to the 'main event' which is of course the bride and groom. Usually you would use 2 different songs, 1 for the attendants and one for the couple so you have to do the transition after announcing the last of the attendants and do a big build up for the couple.
The age of the couple doesn't matter. Just get their input on the music.
good luck!

It's really up to the bride and groom how they want to be announced and who they would like to be announced. Usually you start with the wedding party. Sometimes Family 1st, then wedding party. Best Man and Maid of Honor are introduced last in the bridal party, then finally the Bride and Groom are the last of the introductions. You definitely want to double check all the spellings and pronunciations of the names and make sure they know how to line up for the introductions. It;s best to put on a song, go out in the hall make sure everyone is ready, then go back and do the intros.
I am sure it will go well, don't stress, act like you've done it a thousand times!

Ask the couple. Find out what song they want played and write down the order.
