Grooms parents walking down the aisle ?

Nothing here seems too non-traditional. I'd have them walk down before your mom and brother.

In my case, FH's parents will be the first of our VIP guests to walk down the aisle, followed by my mom (escorted by my big brother). Then comes the wedding party, then me with my dad.

It was important to FH and I to include all of our parents this way. We also discussed it with both sets of parents beforehand, because not everyone wants to walk down the aisle. Have you spoken with FH or his parents about this at all?

At most weddings I have been to, including my own, the groom escorted his mother down the aisle with his dad following behind as part of the processional. Then the bride's mother is escorted by a GM or male relative.

Eta: Bride's mom, not parents.

Of course they should; otherwise the message sent is that your parents are more important than your FH's parents.

My FH is very close to his parents and he will walk down with them both! This wouldn't change with or without money given.

Yeah my FH's parents are totally walking down the aisle too. I thought that was normal?!

FH will walk down by himself but FMIL and FFIL will walk down together.

Unless they don't want to I plan to have FFIL and FSMIL walk down followed by FMIL and FSFIL then my mom and whoever she wants to escort her

My FMIL is walking my FH down the aisle as she is "giving him away". FFIL is FH's best man. I honestly come to think about it have no idea how this may work but we will wing it

My sons are escorting our mothers down the aisle and my ffil will be with my niece who will be just under a year.

Our grandmothers (4) and parents of the groom had their own processional song. 3 grandmothers were escorted by a groomsman each; the 4th by her future grandson in-law. The MOG walked with the FOG.

Then the officiant, my groom, and his two best men entered at the beginning of the bridal party song, down the right side aisle. The rest of the bridal party walked in, down the center aisle. My mother and father walked with me, to a third song.

My parents paid for everything, but I don't think that matters. The bride almost always enters last, although sometimes she walks with her husband, meets him halfway, walks alone, etc. (I've been singing at weddings for over 10 years).

Oops - I had my mom seated first. Thanks for educating me!

We don't have much of a wedding party, so everyone's processing.

FH will escort his mom,

FH's sisters will escort his dad (his parents are divorced),

my brother will escort my mom,

Best Man will walk by himself,

Man of Honor will walk by himself, and

my dad will walk me!

Edited: to clarify

Traditional processions seem to be happening less and less. Design it however you want with the people that mean the most to you

I'm going to have my fh walk my nom down the aisle. Then he'll walk his mom down while his dads behind him.

I'm still working on the order of this.

FFIL with his SO

FSS with one gmom

FFIL with his mom

FSFIL with FMIL (MOG)

BM with MOB

We don't really want SO as part of the processional, but if she actually shows up and is not treated as family, she'll make a scene. It's easier to do this than deal with that. But, FH does not look at her as a parental figure, so she is not being placed in the traditional order, otherwise, both gmom's would cone before her. Also, gmom's helped raise FH (she didn't), so I want them to be seated while the "mom's song) is playing, which is Carrie Underwood's Mama's Song.

We did this: DH walked his grandma down the aisle then walked back and was escorted by both of his parents. The bridal party walked in together and I was escorted by my mom and brother.

Need to bump this thread because I'm having the hardest time figuring this out!

FH's parents are divorced and he is much closer with his Mother than he is his Father (and we barely know his dad's new wife). Do we need to include them in the processional or is it typically just the groom's mother? If we include both sets of parents does his Father go first, kicking off the processional because his mom should walk down in front of my mother as a sign of honor? If his father is already seated with his wife would we also have his mom's husband seated so that only the moms are escorted solo?

Right now we have:

Walking:

FH's Dad & his wife

FH's Mom & her husband

My Brother escorting my mother

Groom/Groomsmen

Bridesmaids

Me & My Dad

Should it be:

Father, Father's Wife, Mother's Husband already seated

Walking:

FH's Mother

My Mother

Groom/groomsmen

Bridesmaids

Me & My dad
