Ways to Make Mom Feel Special?
Hi Friends,
Would love your advice. My parents are split and don't get along particularly well.
Ideally, I would love to have them both walk me down the aisle, but my dad is very eager to do that alone and I don't want to hurt him.
What are other ways I can make my mom feel special during our wedding weekend? She will definitely give a toast, so ways beyond that.
Thanks!

Re: Ways to Make Mom Feel Special?
So some people on here know my dad passed away suddenly, before I got engaged so when it came to the wedding we opted to scrap a bunch of the traditional things - for obvious reasons.
So here are a few things that I did with my mum to make sure she felt special - most of which were not announced, it was personal.
- we went shopping for her dress. We made a special day out of it.
- we sat and went through photos for the slideshow together, and ended up having a laughing and crying fest. It's emotional, but we were going through memories and it felt special for us.
- before the ceremony/aisle, we had a moment together. {fun story behind that! We both believe the 'butterfly theory' and while we were waiting for me to walk out, a butterfly flew in to where it was just us and flew around. We were inside}
- we requested a song that we both love, and danced to it. Obviously not a slow song, but it worked
There's a few ideas, but I'm sure others have more and can contribute
