Ours is the same, snugs. Maid of honor (and/or matron if the gal is married) and bridesmaids. Best man and groomsmen. Also, a bride may have flower girls (very young girls who toss petals) and a ring bearer (young boy who carries a "ring" on a pillow). Some brides opt to not have the latter for fear that they will steal the show. I remember a family wedding when my little cousin as ring bearer just started singing to himself on the altar during the ceremony...it was hysterical.

As for ushering guests to their pews, that's the job of the groomsmen. And most churches do not allow the use of rice today as it is harmful to birds. Instead the wedding guests toss bird seed at the happy couple.
