Mother of the Bride (motb) in the Processional

Michelle, on August 22, 2023 at 11:00 Posted in Wedding ceremony 0 7

Hello Everyone!


I am getting married in THREE DAYS!!! And I am so excited.


However, a somewhat important question remains: how is my Mom getting down the aisle? My partner's parents will already be seated due to limited mobility. We are having a nondenominational wedding, but I know for most Christian weddings, the MotB traditionally walks down the aisle first to signal the beginning of the ceremony.


HOWEVER... at my sister's wedding, the groom walked my Mom down the aisle and she loves this idea. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how we could make this happen? Looking at the processional, it doesn't seem right for her to be placed anywhere else other than the beginning, but then the Groom either walks my Mom down the aisle and stays at the front, and he doesn't get his own walk, or he walks her down, walks back up the aisle, then walks down himself, which seems redundant.


Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you everyone for your ideas!

    We will be having an usher walk her down the aisle who is also our MC and my partner's close cousin.

    She can walk with you and your dad. Alone, Bestman or groom. there's not right way of doing things.

    Hi Michelle, I am having my brothers walk with my mom, that way the whole family feels like a part of the ceremony.

    Thank you Amanda! This is a great option. Our best man is the groom's brother as well.
