Mother of the Bride Issues

I am sorry your mother won't be at your wedding. Is your fiancé's aunt already a mother figure to you? If not, then asking her to "step up" may not have the results you are seeking. I completely understand complicated, less than ideal relationships with parents. But you can't actually replace a "mother of the bride" at a wedding with someone random (I can't tell from your OP how close you are to this other person).

The good news is that you don't need a mother of the bride to get married. You can ask friends or other loved ones to get ready with you, give speeches, dance with you, or any other support you would like on your wedding day.

I guess I don't understand what she would be doing? My mom did literally nothing for my wedding except for purchase hand sanitizer. If you want to include her in things, just include her - I think a title is a little weird.

I'm sorry, I understand, my mother was not at my wedding either.

As I had not planned for there to be any MOB moments, this was not an issue.

Had you planned for MOB moments? Can they be cut?

No one commented on my mother not being there. Traditionally, the MOB role is more of a pre-wedding role, anyway...

As far as I know, the MOB has no specific role in a wedding. They show up and everyone knows they are the bride's mom. That's it. If there is no mom at the wedding no one needs to fill that role. As Caytlyn said it's a relationship more than a specific role or duty. You don't need a MOB.

I may have missed your point but going back to read your OP, there is no way anyone could have known you were looking for a title for your program. I'm not someone who puts any stock in honorary titles so I don't have any suggestions for you. Maybe ask her how she would like to be referred to? Or just list her as "[fiance's] aunt" because that's exactly what she is?

Agreed.

I don't put stock in titles (or programs for that matter). However (to the OP), why are you putting your fiances aunt in the program if she is not filling a specific role? It sounds like your mom won't be there, so you don't have anything to fill in for the MOB space, so now you want to include your fiances aunt instead, but don't have a title for her. If she doesn't have a specific role and isn't doing anything special for your wedding, why does she need to be in the program at all? Just so there isn't a blank space?
