Escorting Mothers down the Aisle

Our mothers don't want to walk down the aisle together. So I suggested having my brother walk my mother down the aisle and his brother walking his mother down the aisle. Both brothers are in our wedding party. They would seat the mothers then walk up the side back to where the bridesmaids are so they can escort the bridesmaids they are paired with down the aisle. My brother will walk 3rd and his will walk 4th. My venue says that this has been done before, but they are worried about timing. My brother did double duty at his wedding. He walked my mother down then walked off to the side to join his groomsmen. I don't see why timing would be an issue. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, did you have any problems?

    I'm not sure if this is "out of tradition" or anything, but I suggested this to my FH, and he thought it was okay. Instead of just my father walking me down the aisle, I go with BOTH my parents. My FH would also be walking with BOTH his parents as well. Or how about having your FH's parents walk down together and your parents walk you down the aisle?

    I would prefer just to have my dad walk with me and his parents are divorced and wouldn't want to walk together. I also think it would make his father's fiancee uncomfortable.

    Unless your venue is enormous I don't see why timing would be an issue if they're walking down later than the other groomsmen

    It isn't and considering they said they just had a wedding last weekend do the same thing I don't understand the problem. There will be two other groomsmen walking before my brother and his brother walks after mine.

    Each pair could wait until the other walks to the entire end of the isle before they start walking so it gives more time.

    That's what we did at my brother's wedding, but that was because there were only two of us. He had time to get back with his groomsmen after walking our mother down the aisle because the mothers lit candles.

    So this was a thought for us but my FH's brother is not in our wedding party. We think his dad will just have double duty. Escort his mom down to her seat then circle back around cuz he is bringing our dog (ring bearer) down haha. My mom, I asked her and she said typically isn't it the best man? And I said well why not my brother then. FH doesn't like that all the groomsmen won't be standing up there but it has to go best man or my brother. There's no one else and I don't want my mom to walk alone. I think that's lame.
