Ceremony seating question

FI's mom informed us last night that her boyfriend would be "walking her down the aisle".  I'm confused by it, so can someone in the know please tell me who usually seats the moms?  I thought it was a groomsman or usher, and since my mom is walking me down the aisle i hadn't given it much thought. I don't mind if he does it, but I think she is planning a grand entrance or something.

Also, she wants her bf to wear a tux and since the only other non bp member wearing a tux that day will be FI's father we feel like it's inappropriate.  There's lots of bad blood between his folks, so I don't want to stir up any drama. WWYD?

    You can do whatever you want, there are no hard and fast rules anymore.  My question is, why is she being escorted down the aisle when she is walking you down the aisle?  That doesn't make sense.  Is she planning on walking down the aisle with her BF and then coming back for you?  I don't think that's necessary but that's just my opinion.

    If she's walking you down the aisle, that doesn't make sense.

    If not, just let her do it to make things easiest.  My dad is walking my mom down the aisle, then coming back for me.

    My fiance's mom will be the one escorted by her boyfriend. My own mom will walk me down the aisle.

    Oh, sorry.  Reading fail.

    Just let him walk her down the aisle.

    I definitely think we will, but I think my FI is going to say no to the tux thing. It's not my battle to fight because it's not my mom, but (and I do realize this might sound ridiculous to others) it seems a little like a slap in the face to my FI's dad.

    I know it's just a tux, but he will be the only other man in one, so it will definitely stand out.

    Sorry, I read that wrong too!  I would think it's okay for her BF to walk her down the aisle.  As for his tux, I can see what you are saying.  The tux makes it seem like he's an important part of the family and maybe you just don't feel that way.  Would it help your group rates or make it so FI gets a free tux? Maybe there is a silver lining in it?  Good luck!

    I dunno, I would probably just let the tux thing go too.  It seems so insignificant in the grand scheme of things and if FMIL really wanted it, it would be a huge deal to me.  But that's ultimately your FI's call and if he's uncomfortable with it, then he should say something to his mom.
