Walking Down the Aisle

For our wedding, my fiance will be standing at the front alone. The groomsmen will escort the bridesmaids and my bridesman (my brother) will escort his groomswoman. My dad is walking me down the aisle. His father and his father's fiance will already be seated. The problem is our mothers. My fiance has decided that they should walk down the aisle together. Neither mother likes this idea and both have complained to me. My mother said she would rather walk alone and that it makes her uncomfortable. His mother has thrown out different ideas for who could walk her since she is single. I had thought he could escort his mother down on his way to the front and that my grandfather or one of my uncles could escort my mom. He vetoed this idea. He also feels I never go with his ideas so I really don't want to veto his idea of having them walk together. I don't know what to do because I know both moms are against it, but my fiance is for it. Any suggestions?

Have you talked with him to tell him that it's not that you're against his idea, but that both moms are uncomfortable with it? If it's something you both really want you may have to explain to your moms that this is the decision and you'd really appreciate their support.
Ultimately, it's what? 30 seconds of walking next to someone?
I think if your FH hears you out about both moms being uncomfortable you can move forward together in figuring out another option, or approaching your moms to let them know that this is how it is.

Tell the moms to talk to him about it if they don’t want to do it

Ugh middle man is the worst game. Tell fh that you don't care one way or another but both moms have expressed concern and tell him to figure it out with his mom. Once they do that you can figure things out with your mom.

Ugh I just mentioned it to him again since we have previously discussed this and his response was Am I marrying my mom? I don't care either way who the moms walk with or if they walk alone. I just hate fighting with my fiance or my mother. He feels it is our wedding and they can just deal with it which isn't going to make either of them happy, but oh well I guess.

It shall be interesting to see what happens in the next few days because his mother and I are going to visit his brother in NC and his mother wants the brother to walk her down the aisle so it wouldn't surprise me if while we are there she asks him to. We have already expressed to her that she is walking down the aisle with my mom and she threw the fit, but my fiance was outside when this happened so only I saw how she reacted.

I'm just here to tell you that my fiance isn't having any groomsmen either and his dad (who would've been his best man) is officiating our ceremony. my mom is my maid of honor which is very important to me. for your situation, being the middle man isn't fair and they should figure it out among the three of them. they both should just walk down the aisle separately lol
