Parents not in processional?

This is really going to depend on your relationship with them. I feel a little weird about my dad walking me down the aisle so I'm having them both walk me down. You can opt out of this tradition altogether though.

I have no parents, and to not highlight that more, his will come in and sit with every other guest.

They can just walk in and sit if you/they want. We didn't have a wedding party (so glad we didn't!). My dad did walk me down the aisle, but my mom sat in her seat in the front ahead of the ceremony starting.

Parents are often the last ones seated before the formal processional begins.

I was at a wedding where there was divorced parents and bad blood on the side of the bride, she came down alone, all parents just sat with the guests. No biggie. The Mom of Groom was mellow about it.

Yes, I'm thinking they will just sit with guests and I will walk myself.

Thanks for the help!

Both of my parents are passed and so is his mother. My oldest son and my grandson are going to walk me and give me away. That was the easy part. It's the father/daughter mother/son dance that we are trying to figure out. We are thinking he can dance with our daughter and me with my son or his father. We may cut it out all together. Haven't quite decided.

I would still have them be the last to take their seats, but you can have them do that before the processional music begins.

For our ceremony, we left this up to our mothers. Both chose to walk down the aisle. My mother later said she's glad she did.

We didn't have a bridal party but our parents walked down the aisle before I did (I walked alone).

It's totally up to you. I'm walking down by myself because I have issues with the idea of my parents "giving me away" and I'm just not that close to them. Do what you're comfortable and happy with and no one else is probably going to think twice about it.

My mom didn't want to be escorted to her seat, told me it was something she disliked at my brothers wedding. My mom and MIL entered the room at the same time as other guests.

My dad is walking my down the aisle, but my mom isn’t in my life. I really don’t want to highlight that by having just one set of parents walk down before processional so they’ll just sit.
