So I was watching Four Weddings this morning and saw the groom walk his mother down the aisle to her seat and then take his place at the alter to wait for the brides entrance. Now I'm thinking about incorporating that in my wedding. My groom's parents are paying for half the wedding, plus they have welcomed me into their family with open arms since the first day we met. They mean a lot to me, especially his mother and I think it would be a neat way to honor her on our wedding day.

What is your opinion? Are there any downs to this idea I haven't thought of?

    From what I have seen is that your FH escorts his mother, and his father walks behind them....

    My FH is walking his mother down and my Future FIL is walking my mother down to her seat since my dad is walking me.

    Does the groom have a good relationship with his mother? Does she wish to be given this honor? Think about all she has done for her son in her life. If she likes the idea, let her have this special moment of recognition from her son.
