Mother walking Groom down aisle

We are escorting our moms down the aisle

I don't find it emasculating at all. It's an honor to walk my strong beautiful mother down the aisle!

@lyla so if it's "not sexy" and emasculating for the groom to be escorted down the aisle, what does that make it when the bride is escorted by her father? Not sexy and.....? Quite the double standard there. I love when both sets of parents escort their respective children down the aisle, I think it's really sweet, and it's the norm for Jewish weddings.

It is actually quite the norm... the groom escorting his mother to her seat with his father a step behind. The groom can then head on to where he will enter with the officiant. Having been a wedding planner/coordinator and both the MOB and MOG, it is the sweetest thing to acknowledge his parents too. It also in essence is their way of saying we are acknowledging your bride and this new chapter. My son hugged me and gave me a kiss, he then shook his dad's hand and hugged him. A sweet memory and in character of our son and our relationship with him.

I always made sure to include the groom's parents on their son's special day as day of coordinator. It is really a small part of the seating of guest and means so much! I'm sure the mother meant that he would escort her...
