My fiancee is the eldest of two sons of my future MIL. He is the first to get married and she wants to be as involved as possible because she doesn't have any daughters. She asked today if she could give her son away at the wedding. We were not planning on it, but I know it would mean a lot to her.
Is this something anyone has seen done before? At the time of the "giving away," the preacher would be the only one up there with my father giving me away at the end. Any thoughts?
Re: Mother giving away son
We gave a 'gift' (rose) to each other's parents during the ceremony as a thank you. I have also seen the officiant have the bride & groom give a 'last kiss' to the person who gave them their 'first kiss' (mothers).

Good luck!
