Groom have mother and father walk him down the aisle?

That's a nice idea!

If he wants it why not? Go for it.

No offense, but an isle is another word for island. What you're walking is the aisle.

Most grooms and their honor attendants stand at the front of the ceremony venue so that all eyes focus on the bride as she makes her entrance. However, you are fortunate to live in an age in which the traditional ceremony is a mere template (you have to be aware of your guest experience during the reception, but the ceremony, in whatever form it takes, belongs to you and your beloved).

If you want his parents to walk him down an aisle, and that's what he wants, go for it.

It's traditional in Jewish wedding ceremonies for both parents to walk their child up to the chuppah (ceremony space/alter). So if they want to, go for it. If either parent or he's uncomfortable with it though I'd let it go.

My sister and her husband did this. It was lovely. Actually, they both walked down the aisle at the same time, because there wasn't a center aisle in the church where they got married, so they each walked up the side aisles with their parents.

I did! I don't regret it. My mom was a single mom that raised me. My dad is in my life but I only saw him 4 days out of the month. My mom did everything for us and put me through college. Just having my dad made me think that she deserves to give me away too. So that's what I did.

I really think you can do whatever makes you happy here. My uncle offered to walk my little sister down the aisle, as our father has been absent for a long time. Last weekend I asked my brother to do it for me. He's 6 years younger but stepped up like no 18 year old boy should have to when our father left. He took care of my mom and sisters while I loved hundreds of miles away, and I didn't have to worry about them. He's been the "man of the house" for years and nothing feels more right to me than having him walk me down the aisle

My FH is doing this, it's more common in the country where he grew up and it's a nice way to honor his parents.

My FH is having both his parents walk him. I think it's fine. We were originally going to have FH dad walk with his Grandma but she decided she doesn't want to be in the wedding so FH will now walk with both parents. I have never seen a groom not walk down the aisle @Rachel. The groom and GM's walk, then the BM's, flower girl and ring bearer and then the bride. Having the groom walk down the aisle doesn't take away from the bride in my experience.

FH was thinking about having both his parents and his step dad walk him down the aisle, but the logistics of how to have 4 people walking together without someone being out of place was too hard. So now he's just escorting his mom, while his dad and step dad will be sitting already. But I agree about it being nice to have the parents walk the groom down too.

We are doing exactly that, right down to the fact that his parents are divorced but still friends. We are each going to walk with both our parents.

FH is walking down with his parents. I am walking with mine. That's how I've seen it done at most weddings I've been to recently.

I think it's great!

Some of my grooms do this. It's a great way to honor both parents. Best wishes!

We just decided last night we are doing this!
