Procession question regarding parents

So I have one (my mom) and my FH has three (mom, stepdad, and dad). I've been trying to figure out how I want to arrange their entrance. On one hand, I love the idea that my mom has always stood on her own two feet and so she'd walk on her own. Kind of regal in my mind. And his mom and stepdad would go together, obviously. That leaves his dad. First he offered to walk me down the aisle since I don't have a father figure to do it, but as nice as his father is, idk if I want someone I haven't even met in person yet filling that role (he lives kinda far and neither he nor we have had the funds to travel). So I was wondering if it would be too weird to have his dad and my mom walk at the same time? What do you guys think?

I think that would be absolutely fine. In my case I decided not to have my step parents walk since my mom and “stepdad”are divorced now and my dad will walk with me instead of my stepmom. My fiancé’s dad is so self conscious and I don’t know if he would feel too much pressure (or if he’s even coming). So I’m doing mom with brother, fmil with fbil, and dad with me. Then recessing with wedding party only.

Why don’t you ask his mother who she would prefer to walk with? If the parents are no longer together then the father can walk alone.

Also, have you considered having your mom walk you down the aisle?

I'm going to put charms with my grandfather and eldest brother's pictures in them since they were always who I wanted to walk me, so to me it'll be like they're walking me.

FH's mother is with his step father and would 100% rather walk with him, but my FH has a good relationship with his bio father as well. So it's more both my mom and his dad don't have partners; in my mind it would make sense for them to walk at the same time.

That would be nice, that he would be escorting her, as long as she’s cool with it!

I had my like a mom or in your case have your mom walk you down the isle if my mom was alive thats who i was going to have walk me bc me and my dad werent as close and she and i were ...so thats a thought to its literally however you want your wedding but i wouldnt have his father walk you no offense and im sure your mom would be honored since she sounds like a very strong woman i think shed be honored to walk you. But thats up to you GL

Like I mentioned a few posts up, I will be walking with pictures of my grandfather and eldest brother, both of whom were my first and second choice to walk down the aisle with me. It's not that I don't want to walk with my mother, but it's my way to remember them and all they had done for me. I told my FH that and he understands. I'm more trying to find the best way to incorporate his bio father into the wedding because he and my FH have a good relationship and it's not just my wedding.
