Okay, here is my situation...
My finance's brother just got married 6 months ago, parents escorted him down the aisle. Well they loved that so much that now they've just invited themselves to do it at our wedding, without my fiance so much as mentioning it, nevermind asking them. (At the brothers wedding it was a bit more un-traditional... The bride had her mom walk her in, her dad wasn't present)... We were going to go the more traditional route where the bride is the only one escorted in.
However... now the situation is that I am having my Dad walk me down the aisle, and just my Dad, I'm really stuck on that traditional aspect there becuse I think that will be a very touching moment for me. However, this leaves all the parents with active roles except my Mom. She will be very hurt, I don't know what to do. I am planning to have her light the candles so she is still an important and recognizable part, the only problem with that is my future MIL would have to light them with her, so we have someone from both sides of the family... but then my Mom will just have to sit down while my FMIL going back to the back to join my fiance and Dad.
I just don't want my Mom to feel left out, I know the way this situation is unfolding will hurt her feelings, I'm just not sure if there's a better way to set this up or something else she could do... Suggestions??
Thank you in advance.
