Processional Question

Your wedding isn't for another 3 months - you still have plenty of time to change your mind/finalize these details! Originally, my mom (who hates my dad - long story) volunteered my brother to walk me down the aisle without first consulting me, so I had to have a very awkward conversation with her, but in the end, my father is walking me down the aisle, and that's what I wanted.

If you want to walk yourself down the aisle, I say go for it! This is yours and FS' day, and the last thing you want to do is make a decision you'll later regret, simply to appease your parents.

Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Thank you! I'm guess I'm just nervous to hurt their feelings. My mom had explicitly asked if she could which at first I was fine with but now as I think about it I'm changing my mind.

I think it’s okay to change your mind only because your mother put you on the spot and asked you. It may be a little more hurtful if you were the one that asked them to walk you down the aisle, but they should be a little more understanding that you said yes when put under pressure.

That's a good way of putting it. They're not together and she primarily raised me so I think she didn't want to feel left out of such a special moment.

What if they started down the aisle with you, and then you continued on your own at about the halfway point? It could be seen as symbolic that they brought you to adulthood, and then you brought yourself to your FH?

Thats a nice idea! Do you think they would need to sit halfway back from the alter though?

It depends on the setup of your venue - they could either follow behind you to the front row or walk across and then go to the front row. Definitely don't want them halfway back though.
