Walking Down the Aisle?

Are you confused on who is walking "YOU" down or who you want to be walking down the aisle before the bridal party and you?

You're asking about having everyone in church, correct, not who's going to walk you down the aisle. Did I read this right?

Can you just have them seated prior to the ceremony as you would the other guests and do individual thank yous or notes to them in your program. Start your entrance with your wedding party only?

My dad is walking me down the aisle, so I was just trying to figure out who would walk the mothers down the aisle. We'llAlwaysHaveParis, good point. I had just been looking online and people were talking about mothers being walked down the aisle, but I guess it's not necessary for them to be..

FWIW, at my first wedding we had our mothers walk down the aisle together and light the individual candles for the unity candle.

Another option we had was having our brothers (each of us had one) walk the moms separately (one behind the other).

("walk the moms" LOL)

This is my second wedding and FH's parents are deceased so I'm pretty sure I'm just going to have my parents already seated. People will know who they are.

Do you think it would be okay to walk both my biological mom and my dad's ex wife down the aisle at the same time? (with some male family member walking between them/escorting them)?

I think so Jenny, but if they have an escort then who goes first? Bio mom? If no escort, they can walk together. What are the dynamics between the two of them?

Phew that's a lot of Mom's! You're lucky to be so loved

If each of these Mom's have a person in their life that has some sort of significant meaning to them (i.e. a son, brother, etc.) that is invited to the wedding, could they walk them down the aisle? If not, I like We'llAlwaysHaveParis' idea.

I am assuming there is no animosity towards any of these women from any of the other women? (We are dealing with that that's why I ask)

Every wedding that I've been to, on the groom's side, the father of the groom or their current husband walks them down and the bride's mom is walked down the aisle by the one of the ushers. For us, that is what we are doing. If the groom's dad is not in the picture or if there is no remarriage for a female, you could have the groom walk her down or you could have an usher walk her down to her seat. Or if you have an aunt, uncle, or a cousin (does not have to be male), they could do the honor.

Both my Fiance and I have 2 moms a piece, he has 1 dad, and I have 2 Dads. We wanted to include them all so here is how I am doing it.

My real mom and dad are walking each other,

His dad and step-mom are walking each other,

One of the groomsmen are walking my aunt (who is my other mother),

His real mom is walking him,

My uncle (my other dad) is walking me!

Hope that's not to confusing. It's a complicated situation.

Gathering from what you have said, does this sound appropriate:

My Family:

Dad's ex wife - Male Figure - Biological Mom (Walk down together)

Dad - Current Wife (My dad walks his wife to her seat)

His Family:

Biological Mother - Male Figure (walk down together)

Dad - Current Wife (His dad walks his wife to her seat)

And then my Dad would just have to walk back in order to walk me down the aisle?

Very appropriate.

Sounds good - is there a side aisle your dad can take?

Or you could have another male figure to walk your dad's current wife, that way he doesn't have to walk back. Everything else looks like it would work.

A little untraditional but they could always walk themselves

THANKS FOR ALL THE INSIGHT!!!

I have so much to consider now, Thank You!!!

Sounds like that should work

As far as your dad coming back to walk you- we did that with my son and it worked out just fine. He walked in with the groomsmen, so as soon as the guys were in place and the BM's started walking, my son slipped back up the side aisle to come escort me

Tracy E... you have an interesting situation too!
