Processional

VICTORIA, on May 28, 2020 at 11:17 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8

I know the basic rundown of the processional, so that's not entirely my issue. But I do have a few questions...

I don't have Usher's, so who should walk my mom down the aisle? She does have a boyfriend, but I've literally NEVER met him (she lives in a different state 17hrs away) and don't know how comfortable I am with him being a part of that. I was honestly thinking of having my nephew walk my mom in, they are very close and he'll be 15yo- is that weird? Should I simply make him an Usher? Or should my mom's random boyfriend walk her down (he may or may not escort her into the reception, haven't decided).

My FH's dad is single...who walks him in? His mom is remarried, so she'll walk in with her husband. I just don't know what to do with his dad? He isn't very involved in FH's life, never has been, but FH is adamant that he be a part of the entire wedding thing, much to my dismay...

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, or make anyone uncomfortable, but I'm totally at a loss. I don't even really want his dad involved outside of a standard guest involvement. He's never been a big part of FH's life, he makes EVERYTHING about himself, and has the poorest boundaries I've ever seen a grown man have. Ugh.

    I’ve seen divorced or single parents walk in by themselves during processionals before

    I think having your nephew escort your mom is a great idea. Do you have a grandma who might need an escort? Your dad could walk with her if so. If not, he could walk in alone.

    My FH is going to walk my mom In and sit her down. Heck I was having similar thoughts on who was going to walk me. But one of my little brothers will. I would let her walk in herself or just have another family member or your FH to walk her. But in all reality they aren’t really apart of the bridal party ya know? lol

    I forgot to comment on the end part. Hence my brother is giving me away lol. My dad was crickets in texts because he thought he would have to pay for something. He is getting an invite but it will not be a father daughter dance with him. I’ll probably dance with my future father in law....


    Sorry if I made this about me. But I hope I help in the previous reply Smiley smile congrats

    Usually a groomsman or someone similar escorts the mothers of the bride and groom. The groom enters by himself with his attendants.


    You can have your nephew escort your mom.

    A groomsman can always pull double duty and walk your mom in. Your FH's dad can walk in by himself. With him being a man, I don't think that would be odd.

    I think having your nephew walk your mom down is the best Idea and his dad can either walk alone or does FH have a sister or niece who can walk with grandpa?
