Honoring Mom!

Missyb581

My mom and I have a SUPER close relationship, and being that she feels being my MOH and the MOB is too much, I want to find a cool way to honor her! 

My Dad is walking me down the ailse and gets the Father Daughter Dance... 

so what is an awesome and inventive way to include my mom?

IMO, being the MOB is enough "honor."  Make sure you set aside some special time during the day to tell her how improtant she is to you, thank her for being such a wonderful mom, etc.  You could write her a nice letter so she has a token of your appreciation.

You shouldn't need to make some public display to let her know how important she is to you.

I'm with the PP.  I'm the MOB and that's about the biggest honor I can think of.  That being said, my daughter got a small nosegay to toss and right before the actual tossing, she presented me with her bouquet. 

She also asked my quartet to sing her favorite song (Broken Road) at the reception.  It was awesome...but I know not every MOB is crazy like me

Another MOB, here.

I will get to shop for 'THE DRESS' with my daughter, help plan and attend the bridal shower and we'll probably get mani/pedis together for the big day. Some brides have their moms help them dress for the wedding. I don't need any special recognition from my daughter because I feel like the MOB role is very special, in itself.

When I was married 34 years ago, I asked both of my parents to escort me down the aisle. My mom was thrilled to be included, but for me, I would rather watch the procession.

I totally get what PP are saying, but I also understand your point.  My son is walking me down the aisle and my father will not be there. My Mother has been with me through thick and thin. I will thank her in the program.  Also while I dance with my son, I have a slideshow playing honoring hiim and her as well as dedicating the song  that we're dancing to....to my mother.  Some PP may find it cheesy, but I know she'll feel special.

You could always have your mom and dad walk you down the isle. 

At one wedding we went to the mother and bride did a mother/daughter dance and they invited the other mother/daughters to dance together too.  At first I thought it was a bit corny but all the women started dancing with eachother, including grandmas with grandkids and it was actually kind of sweet.  They did the dance later in the night so it wasnt so much of a focus as it was a sweet moment.
