Ceremony Order

I'm discussing the order in which everyone walks down and this wedding is different from any other wedding I've been to. In past weddings either both the bride and groom's parents are married or one is missing the father (literally every wedding I've been to). With my wedding my parents are married, so they'd walk down together. For him his mom and dad are divorced, but his mom has remarried. He doesn't look at his mom's husband as his step-father and his parents would rather just co-exist and not interact with each other. So do I have a male host walk her down and a lady hostess walk him down? Do the dad just sit down vs. walk down the aisle. This may seem small but it's really bugging me.

    I think it makes sense for the step father to walk the mother. and the dad can walk in by himself.

    His mom should walk down with her husband. His dad can either walk alone or with a family member, ideally a child if your FH has any siblings.
    For my step brother’s wedding, my step dad and mom walked together. His mom walked with his brother. The brother was the best man, so after walking her, he returned to the rest of the groomsmen to enter with them.

    His mom and her husband should walk together. His dad can walk alone unless either of you has a single grandmother, in which case it would make sense to pair him with her. If anyone is uncomfortable with this, they can be seated before the processional starts so everyone won't be staring at them when they walk in.

    My mom and stepdad are divorced. My dad is currently remarried. My fmil is single and ffil didn’t show up. My stepmom and stepdad seated themselves bc they were more comfortable doing that, my husband walked out with his mother, my brother who was a bridesman walked with my mom, and my dad walked out with me. In your situation I’d let his mom’s husband walk with her. Whether he is close with this guy or not, he is married to his mother. I agree with pp to let the dad walk in solo or sit down with the other guests if there’s no one appropriate for him to walk with.

    Whether he views his step-father has his step-father doesn't really matter as that is his mom's husband so that's who should walk her down the aisle. Is his dad bringing a date to the wedding? If so that's who I would have walk down the aisle with him. If not then he could walk down the aisle by himself or with a close female relative.
