Wedding Party

ushers/attendants

We have family issues that keep me from asking my brother to usher my mom to her seat. So, just to keep the peace we thought maybe we could just ask a couple of our friends to walk the mothers and grandmothers down. Is this strange? They're good friends of ours but our mothersband grandmothers have never met them :/ so Idk

  • Or you could skip the whole usher thing and let people seat themselves. It's not uncommon nowadays.

    Ask your mom (and he can ask his) what she prefers.

    Even mothers don't have to be escorted to seats-especially when for relationship reasons it is too uncomfortable to do.
  • I think the women should only be escorted if it's someone of significance to them...a brother, son, whatever...not just a groomsman or usher just for the sake of ushering.
  • We didn't have anyone escort my husband's mother. I believe she and 2 of her children just walked to their seats together like the other guests.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
