Mom making you crazy?

I had my brothers walk my mother down, but we also didn’t have a bridal party... I mean it’s a bit awkward walking by herself. But, it’s your day!

I think typically (from my knowledge) the mothers are normally “escorted” by someone. Or so I thought?


We’re having my FH escort his mom down the aisle, and grandma. And my brother is escorting my mom and grandma down the aisle.
You could always compromise and have your brother walk her, and then turn around and walk back with the junior bridesmaid.
But it’s your day! You do what you want for your wedding!

The mother of the bride normally has an escort or at least has at every wedding I've been to. My brother was a bride's man, but he did double duty and walked my mom down the aisle then went back to line up with the groomswoman. They didn't walk one right after the other though. Is there another close male relative she could walk with since she feels uncomfortable walking alone?

If your mom feels uncomfortable walking down the aisle alone, there are lots of options of people to escort her. My mom is pretty quiet and shy, and also doesn’t feel comfortable walking down the aisle alone. My dad is walking me so obviously he is out. So I am toying with a couple ideas. We are having a destination wedding, so I am not positive my grandma will make the trip. If she does, I am going to have her and my mom walk down the aisle together. If my grandma is not able to come, my fiancé is going to walk my mom down the aisle. I thought it would be super sweet for my fiancé & mom to walk together ❤️ Would either of those options work for you? If not, you could have your brother walk her down the aisle and let the junior bridesmaid walk alone.

So at my wedding my mom's brother walked her down the aisle. My husband's brothers were groomsmen and his one brother did double duty by walking their grandmother down the aisle and also my sister(MOH)

I don't have a mom but my grandmother who has stepped up like my mom is driving me insane. She also doesn't get the day isn't about her. Right now the big issue is her finding an outfit for the wedding she keeps buying stuff freaking out and returning it. It seriously is taking longer then it took me to find my dress. And this is just the tip of a long list of things smh.

Have your dad walk ur mom down and he come back to you the bridal come last that’s what I’m do since my parents married I’m have my dad walk my mom down when he done he comes to me

The mother of the bride does not usually walk alone, it sounds like its more out of her insecurity of everyone looking at her than her trying to make it about her. Can someone walk her down then go back and get whoever they are supposed to walk with?

Everyone's wedding is different, but the MOB usually has someone accompany her down the aisle. My mom is giving me away, but you could always have a close friend or relative walk her, maybe an usher if you're having any?

Like almost everyone has said, it's very common for mothers to be escorted. Now, that's not a rule set in stone and if she wanted to walk alone that would be completely fine. But her not wanting to walk alone doesn't mean she is making the day all about herself.

If you really don't want to let her have her first choice (your brother), ask her to think of someone else she would feel comfortable with. It does not need to be a man, by the way. No doubt there are many options. Let her "win" this one.

My mom has expressed the same about walking down the aisle by herself. I don't have brothers so our thought is to have my mom, his mom and his dad (his parents are divorced but still get along and do all family things together) all walk down the aisle together. As my dad will be with me.

It’s customary the mom is escorted with someone. Maybe someone else can walk her down?

Oh man my mom and mother in law drove me nuts during my planning

Thanks all, we figured out who will be walking her down

Either an usher, or a family member, is usually asked to seat the motger of the bride, After the Motger of the groom is seated by a family member of theirs, or an usher, with husband walking behind. If groom's parents want to seat themselves, fine. But she should be assigned an escort. She is seated, last ( except latecomers.) then escort goes to his seat, or joins tge waiting wedding party if a GM,. Then the prelude music is ended. Then the music for the processional starts. ... Every wedding she has ever been to, this likely happened.
