Who should escort moms/grandmas?

Cathasach, on June 20, 2010 at 1:43 PM Posted in Planning 0 11

The reason I ask is because we have one grandma who is widowed and mom mom is divorced. My aunt will most likely be escorted by her son b/c my uncle is most likely walking me down the aisle...

Who should escort my mom and FH grandmother in during the ceremony?

    Do you have ushers? This is how our mom's are being seating.

    First I wanted my nephew to escort my Mom but he is a grooms man and it was just gonna be too much of a hustle for him to get her to her seat, get back to my niece and do their walk before it was too much of a delay. So now a boy I grew up with is being an usher & he is seating my Mom. & my Fiance's cousin is seating his Mom. We only have 1 grandmother on his side, so we're not seating the grandmothers.. I don't have any grandparents left & it'll just hurt me too much so I am foregoing that tradition.

    Do you or FS have any brothers or male cousins that could escort them? Otherwise you could have the groomsmen do it.

    My uncle is escorting my grandma, and FS's two sisters are escorting their grandma. My mom is walking me down the aisle with my dad.

    My cousin is one of the ushers and he will probably be walking his own mom (my aunt who was like a second mom) down the aisle while his dad will be walking me. I don't have any brother or anything. The other usher will probably be walking the widowed grandmother which still leaves my mom escort-less. All the groomsmen are walking in escorting the bridesmaids.

    You could have one come back for your Mom. Or have them both seated at the same time... One on each arm.

    I am having my son or my nephew(usher) seat my Mom. FMIL will walk with FFIL. I am not walking the grandma's due to both being older and not as study on their feet, my grandmother had a stroke about 10 years ago and has nover fully recovered. I am going to ask my aunt to represent my father's side and be walked by her son. She is like a second Mom to me and only sibling left in my father's side of the family.

    @Cath..I am having the same problem...all the GMs will be paired up with bridesmaids. My sister, (MOH) will be walking down solo, so maybe I'll have the Best Man walk my Mom down the aisle. Otherwise, don't know what to do.

    You don't want your mom to walk you down the aisle too? if not, how about other males that are special to you? friends, siblings, cousins. if no special males, pick special females. it doesn't really matter. just that the people walking down the aisle are important to you and people who you would like to honor in some way.

    That's the problem. The special male is walking my aunt/his mom. The other special male is walking me. All the special females are my bridesmaids. It would be to weird having my mom and uncle walk me and no offense to my mom... I don't really want her walking me. Long story there.

    Since it is the special lady who is being honored with a walk down the aisle I don't think the man escorting her needs to be special. Maybe you could have a reliable family friend do it?
