Groom escorting his mother down the aisle

My fiance wants to escort his mother to her seat. She does not have a husband and his father is not going to be there. Is this something that is commonly done? I'm trying to imagine how it would work. Does he walk her in at the beginning of the ceremony? I was imaginging that parents would be seated during the time that everyone else is seated. So I'm not sure how the timing works out.

I also feel a little weird about them walking down the aisle together but that might just be me being silly. My friend that got married last year walked to the front with his mom and dad on each arm. Thoughts or ways that you seated parents and got the groom to the front? We are getting married in the courtyard of a mansion, so there is no way to appear up front from the side.

    Weddings I have been to the MOB was walked in by groom then walked back to get his parents then he stayed where he waited for his bride to get to him. Then the wedding party started to walk down and the groom was already in place.

    In my situation, my 2 brothers will walk my mom down then walk back to walk with the BM and then my FI will walk his parents down and then he will already be in place.

    My FI mentioned doing the same thing. I don't think we're going to, but I'd be fine if he really wanted to. He can just seat his mom and then continue to the front. I'm sure people would think it's touching/cute, instead of thinking it's weird.

    I have a little brother who will probably escort my mother and maybe grandmothers.

    My H escorted my mother down the aisle right after his parents. After they were up there, the ushers rolled out the aisle runner. Then the wedding party entered.

    DH walked down the aisle with his mom and dad, we wanted our parents to be involved and we are both very close to them:

    Not uncommon.  Our aisle was narrow so DH walked his mom in followed by his Dad.  My BIL (our single usher since we only had 15 people there) walked my Mom in and I walked in with my Dad.
