I think that when the ceremony begins, first down the aisle will be my fiance's parents. Typically my mother would follow, and then the wedding party. Well, I have my step-mom and my mom. My mom will have a date with her, and naturally my step-mom won't because my dad will be walking me down. The first thought would be to have my step-mom walk after my fiance's parents, and then have my mom and her date follow. However, my step-mom is very sensitive about things due to the fact that she is unable to have children of her own. I like to try to make her feel as much of family as possible, but I suspect she might be upset about walking alone. So I then considered having my brother walk with my step-mom, and then have my mom and her date follow. Would this be very strange? I brought it up to my mom and she said it would be uncomfortable to have her son walking with his step-mom and not his real mom. But my mom also said she would do whatever made everyone else more at ease because when it comes down to it, my mom is the hardest to upset.
Have any of you ever had a situation like this, with divorced parents and multiple sets of parents and whatnot? What have you seen done before that might work? I do know that in the ceremony we are planning to have a bit where we honor the parents. Perhaps there is something to add to the program that could honor both my mom and my step-mom...
Any ideas at all would help! Thanks
