Four Escorts - weird or touching?

So my husband is deceased and my DD is very close to her four brothers - so close she doesn't want to choose one to give her away. All four are GMs. She wants to have three of them come out after the bridesmaids and position down the pathway/aisle to the alter (it's very long by the way) and she would begin her entrance on the arm of one brother who would escort her to the next and then drop back and so on down the line. At the end they would all "give" her to the groom. What do you all think? Sweet? Cheesy? ??

    Frankly, it's a bit of overkill

    I think it would look weird.  It's just to many and what will they do after the hand off, walk after them?

    I kind of agree, it is a little odd. If this were the bride asking, I'd be suggesting she ask you to walk her down!

    Thanks all, I kind of agree - that's why I asked...you all usually have pretty good insight and I thought maybe it was just me...Deanna, I'm not sure I would be comfortable with that either although I have seen it done...and it was fine! Hopefully, it all works out.

    I would just have the brother give her away. If she wants them to all walk in front of her, thats fine. But I dont think 900 people need to give someone away. I wouldnt have my whole family side stand up and say WE ALL DO.

    Does she have a godfather or favorite uncle that could walk her down the aisle. That's what I did.

    I think its cute. I know I have had a lot of fake brothers, in that they thought of me as a sister but none of them are as important then my blood brother. I don't know her personal feelings for her brothers if she had one she was closer to that perhaps could walk her down and they could possibly all stand up and hug her at the end to give her away or escort her in some ways. I think its a cute idea if she really wants all of them to be part of the wedding.

    My dad passed away, so I am having my two older brothers walk me down the aisle.  So I kind of understand her problem.   I don't think her original plan is bad. I think the hand off is kind of sweet. Maybe she could have the eldest brother be the representative and walk her down, and the other three give some sort of acknowledgement (like a kiss on the cheek, hug, etc.) when she gets to the end?
