Wedding Processional

Hi Cali! We had similar situation. We had groom’s grandparents walk down first, followed by Groom’s Dad and Stepmom, followed by Groom’s Mom partnered with my mom. We wanted the moms to have a special moment and once they got to the altar, they lit the individual candles on the altar. We used these later in the ceremony to light our unity candle. My dad walked me down the aisle. When walking back after ceremony, my parents walked together as groom’s mom held hands and walked with the ring bearer (her grandson). Hope this gives you some ideas ❤️

There are a couple options and it really depends on how comfortable everyone is with each other and how you want things to flow.

Option 1: Groom escorts Groom's mom, Groom's dad escorts your mom and step mom (although this might get a little crowded), bride's dad escorts bride.

Option 2: both your mom and step mom walk in together without an escort. Assuming they are comfortable with each other.

Option 3: Groom's dad escorts one and your dad escorts one and he loops back to escort you.

There are probably a ton more options, but these are some that I would suggest. We have a similar situation where he has a step dad (that is basically his dad) so I think we might have him escort my mom. But there really isn't a wrong way to do this.

My friend had a similar situation, and she had a groomsman escort one of the moms, then come back and escort a bridesmaid. If the mom and stepmom get along, I'd probably have them walk together.

My parents are still married and my husband's mom came with her boyfriend. His dad was not in attendance and my dad walked me down the aisle. My husband escorted my mom down the aisle and to her seat before taking his place at the front. His mom and her boyfriend followed. Maybe something like that could work for you? It might look like:

1. Groom and Bride's Mom

2. Bride's Dad and Stepmom

3. Groom's Mom and Dad
