Walking down the aisle order

Jade, on October 4, 2019 at 4:35 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 4
Hey guys! I always assumed my FH would walk his mom down the aisle. But his mom assumes that my FHs two brothers walk her down the aisle since my FH will be walking down at a different time. What is the proper etiquette for this? Also who would walk my mom down the aisle, as it’s just me and my sister; who is my MOH.

    There is no etiquette for this— you can really do anything you want!

    I wanted both my parents to walk me down the aisle. That got my husband thinking that he’d like to walk with his mom as well (his dad is no longer with us). I had three girls in my party and he had 4 guys in his, his best man being his brother. I didn’t have my brother or SIL in the bridal party but decided I still wanted to honor them as family too, so I decided I wanted them to walk in the processional as well. That made H think ‘hey what if I honored my brother too’ — so, he ended up walking with BOTH his mother and his brother. Ultimately our processional went : each groomsman one by one, then hubs escorted by mom and bro. Then, my bro&sil, each of my girls one by one, and then me, escorted by mom and dad. Worked out to be a nice little parallel.
    Anyway my point is— do whatever works for you! There’s no rules for this one, you can really do your processional any way you want it!

    A lot of people have ushers walk parents down. We aren't having ushers, so my FH will walk all family down the aisle. Probably his parents, then my grandparents, and then my mom and step-mom. Then he will just fill in his spot up front and the wedding party will start coming in Smiley smile

    Agreed- there's really no set etiquette on escorting parents down the aisle. Maybe one of your FBILs could walk the moms down the aisle?

    Our processional will be:

    Officiant

    Groom and groomsmen

    My mom escorted by my brother

    FFIL & FMIL

    Bridesmaids and MOH

    Flower girl

    Me and my dad
