Escorting the parents?

Eh... who is supposed to do this?  I mean escort the mothers, that is.  My DOC wants to know who is escorting my mom & FI's mom.  I think my brothers will escort my mom & stepmom to their seats, but shouldn't FI's dad just escort FI's mom?  I feel dumb for not knowing this...

    I'm pretty sure that we are breaking the "rules", but we are having FI escort both of our moms up together, then the moms are lighting the unity candles before taking their seats. This will signify the beginning of our ceremony and take place right before the bridal party enters.

    Traditionally whoever your ushers and/or GM are would take turns walking the VIPs (Moms, grandmothers, whoever has special significance like that).

    But I think you can do whatever you want.  Having your brothers and FFIL escort sound fine.

    I am thinking of taking from the Jewish tradition (we aren't Jewish, but I like the idea of that tradition) and have both of FI's parents walk him down the aisle, before my side of the BP goes down.  I'm having both my parents walk me down as well.  In the ceremony we are having both sets of parents give their support.

    Yup, either GM or ushers, if you have them.  But really, it can be whoever you'd like.

    Our plan was my brother would escort step mom, then FI would escort FMIL, then my brother would escort mom, then dad would come in w/ me.  But, obviously, we have to change that.  : (
