Wedding Ceremony Ettiquete

confused parent

Hello,

My step daughter is getting married for the second time and her fiance is also getting married for a second time. The groom's mother is deceased and they have decided not to allow the bride's mom to be walked down the isle. What is standard or should not be acceptable. please advise

This is a personal choice thing.  There isn't a standard of what should and should not be acceptable when it comes to people being walked down the aisle.

Thank you for your repsonse, I just think it's inappropriate especially with the guests and family that will be there

What about this seems inappropriate to you?  Just trying to understand, since I really don't.

I guess the brides father will walk her down the isle, and typically the bride's mom will be escorted down the isle before the bride and father and I think she feels like she's not part of the ceremony

It's your step daughter's choice, it doesn't really matter if you agree or not.

I can sort of see why you'd be questioning it, but like others have said, it's her choice. And more so than that, it sounds like she has a specific reason for making that choice; she might be trying to be sensitive to the fact that her FH's mom will not be there.

At my wedding, we plan on just having the bridal party walk down the isle and myself, no parents or grandparents etc etc, just short and simple. My FI's parents will obviously be sitting at the front.

It might be a bit weird to you but its you step-daughters & her FI's decision. I went to a wedding 2 weekends ago, where the bride & grooms family were escorted to their seats by the groomsmen down the front isle(different isle) before the ceremony had started and just the bridesmaids & bride walked down the actual isle during the ceremony.

It's really her choice.

Your sig pic is huge.

Ditto PPs, it's the couple's choice and it doesn't really matter what you or her mother for that matter, think about it. We didn't do any special seatings at our wedding. We marked of the front rows for immediate family, but we figured everyone was capable of figuring out where to sit.

Aisle, not isle.
