Step parents in the procession

My step-father will be walking down the aisle with my mother during the processional. It's important to her and I don't see why not.

My father will be walking me down the aisle.

FH parents are divorced. To save from headache and heartache I included their new spouses on the invitations and they will walk with there spouses down the isle. They divorced when FH was 6 and they have a good relationship so everyone was good with just including everyone

My step father passed away a year ago but if he was alive he would absolutely be a part of my wedding. Your Dad has been married to this woman for 20 years. I would think she would be escorted down the aisle as well as printed on the invitations if you are doing parents.

I had a longer comment that got erased but the most important things are to consider YOUR relationship with your stepmother, NOT your mother's relationship with her and what YOU (and your fiancé) are comfortable with and want. Above all else, it is a day for the two of you to enjoy the most and not necessarily to make everyone else happy.

Yes my stepmom will be walking down the aisle in the ceremony and her name will be on the invitation.

My step mom will be in the processional. She will be escorted by her mom since my dad will be with me.

Neither of my step parents are in the wedding. I have it planned to where they come in as a normal guest. I definitely see where your mom is coming from. I think this is something special for her sense you are her daughter. Unless you are close to your step parents (which it doesn't seem like it sense you didn't plan on this in the first place) I would just treat them as a guest. Give your parents the spotlight they deserve for raising you sense day one, again, only if your not close to the step parents/see them as a parental figure.

I think it depends on your relationship with her. My mom has been with my step father most of my life, and I don't see him as a father figure. My mom is walking me down the isle

My step mom and step dad are going down the aisle with my mom

There are wonderful vendors who have performed thousands of weddings on this site. If you allow them to comment, they would love to share their experiences!

My stepmom is being walked down the aisle by a groomsman, my mom is being walked down by my brother/groomsman, and then both groomsmen will rejoin the bridal party to escort bridesmaids, and my dad will walk me. Stepmom will process out with my dad, and be introduced in with him.

she and I don't have a great relationship, just a decent one, but I love my dad very much, and it would make him happy.

Sucking it up and having her walked is a lot easier to swallow than having her throw a bitch fit about it before or after.

FH parents are divorced and his dad and step mom will walk down together and his mom and step dad will walk down together.

Have you thought about asking your step-mom? I mean she may not want to be in the processional if she has to walk by herself. To me, that would be very awkward and I wouldn't want to do it. If you are having ushers and women guests are being escorted to their seats, then she should be allowed to be one of the last guests seated before the processional.

I am very close to my Bonus Mom and wouldn't have it any other way than her being apart of the processional. I think it depends on the relationship you have with her and how long she has been apart of your life, that will help you make your decision.

Ahhhhhhhhh, well. It depends on how close you are. I'm still working out the details of who's walking down the aisle, but if I were to have my FH's parents walk down the aisle, you best believe my dad's gf is going to be escorted, too, because's we're super close. If you're not close with her then I don't see the point.

My FH's mother passed away in 2003 and his FFIL has remarried. We are honoring deceased FMIL during the ceremony with blessings from both of our families to do so including stepmom and his dad is escorting his stepmother

Thanks for your input ladies. Our invitations say, "together with their famiies..." My dad will be escorting me, so that's out. I'm planning to have my two brothers walk my mom and my grandma. FH's mom is being escorted by one of his uncles. I could always send one of my brothers back. We never had a close relationship growing up, and it's been only in the past few years that we started engaging in social conversation when at gatherings. Still not the closest, but no hard feelings there. It would make my dad happy, and keep from and hurt feelings, or unnecessary drama. I really just never thought about it. Now I'm thinking that asking her might actually hurt her feelings a little bit too.

They are not just guests. They are your mother's husband, your father's wife. You will be a wife. Would you like to be separated from your husband during such an important event?

My FH's parent's are divorced. His step-mother is walking down the aisle with his father. His mother is walking with her boyfriend. That's how we wanted it.

I don't think it takes away from your mother, at all. In fact, I think it's disrespectful to the other partners, especially if they have had a positive role in your and FH's life.
