Dad and Mom Walking me Down the Aisle?

Has anyone had both their parents walk them down the aisle before? I’m considering asking my mom too because my FFIL is officiating, FMIL will escort FH, and my dad will escort me, my sister will be MOH, brother will be a groomsman, and both FH’s brothers are groomsman. And I’m really close to my mom and I know as MOB she’s already a very important part of the wedding - but I’d like her to have bit more of an honor position too. My parents are still happily married so there’s no issues there. I just don’t want her to feel left out when literally every single other member of both of our immediate families are involved.

Also I know my dad would be more than okay with me asking them both to do it. Has anyone else done this before? Was it weird in any way?

Nope it’s not weird. If that’s what you want to do, then go for it.

I had both mine walk me, simply because they both mean the world to me, so it didn’t make sense to me to leave my mom out. It wasn’t weird, it was a super nice moment for us, and I so treasure the photos.

we were married outside so just made sure the chairs were set up so that three could fit down the aisle. Bouquet holding was the biggest obstacle haha— but that was fine, just slightly awkward. Basically I held my bouquet like normal and had each parent just link into my arms. Biggest problem solved

My husband had both his parents and both his stepparents walk him because he’s Jewish and that is tradition in the Jewish faith. This is one of those things where there is no right way, do what makes you happy!

That’s exactly where I’m at. I couldn’t imagine only my dad getting to partake in that moment. My mom is too important to not be involved. But I didn’t even think about those potential obstacles so thank you! I’m actually really glad because we’re going to check out the ceremony space next month and I’m definitely gonna ask if the aisle will work like that.

Did you need a bigger aisle because of this?

Most weddings I’ve been to in the last like 15 years had both mom and dad walk the bride down the aisle. My sister did with our parents.

I plan on the same thing. (Assuming my mother actually saves the money to come over from england) my dad days he is fine with it, but idk how my mother will feel. I just want them to play happy for 1 day. Then they can hate each other forever after until my brothers weddings lmao.

The last wedding I've been to, the bride was escorted by both parents! It's totally okay!

For what it’s worth, my mom had her dad & step dad walk her down the aisle and at the time they HATED each other. Her dad & step mom almost didn’t even go to the reception because it was at her mom & step dad’s house. Thankfully that is the past and everyone loves each other now. But my point is that they all happily played nice for the day so I’m sure your parents will too! ☺️

Yes, both of my parents walked me down the aisle! I loved it and didn't think it was weird at all. In my case both my grandparents walked my Mom down the aisle so we were just continuing a tradition.

I had both my parents walk me down. It worked well, just make sure your the aisle is big enough to accommodate three people!
