my dad is walking me down the aisle - does my mom come in the limo to the church?

Does she want to? You could just ask her.

i think she does want to, but we may have a slightly full house. I guess I should have asked if my mom HAS to ride in the limo. Is there a rule/tradition around that?

The only "rules" for a wedding are that the bride and groom have to get a license and have the ceremony performed by a state approved officiant.

Other than that, it's your choice.

Nope, no rules regarding mom riding in the limo.

My daughter had an OOT wedding. She had a room in a different hotel than everyone else so that she wouldn't be meeting up with guests on her way out to the church. I was at the hotel with her and her ladies so we all rode in the limo together. Meanwhile dad was at the other hotel with all the guys, and he drove some of them to church in our car so we would have a way back to the reception.

When a friend's daughter was married, the bride and her dad rode in one car, the BM were in a second, MOB drove her car so that she and dad could get to the reception.

Thirty five years ago when I was married, I rode to church in one limo with the BM, my grandmother and some other elderly ladies rode in the second limo, and my mom and dad drove their car (the second limo was technically for after the cermony to fit the entire bridal party.....no super stretch limos back then).

The point is, you do whatever works for you and your situation.

We had two limos take our wedding party to the church so that there would be room for everyone. My DH rode with all of the wedding party and their dates, except for my sister (MOH). She came with me, our parents, and her boyfriend in the second limo. It seems kind of rude to me to not have room for your mom.

I would think that if your mom wanted to come in the limo, you'd find a way to make it work.

My mom and dad are driving thier car to the church and reception. Our limo will be picking up the FI and 6 GM from our house and then coming to my parents to get me and my 6 BM and taking us to the church and the reception.

I'd say, your mother is one of the most important people there is! (for without her, there wouldn't be you) If she wants to ride in that limo... better find a way to make it work. Unless your relationship is strained..or something of the sorts... but if it's all good... I think mom has a big say in that....I mean she doesn't get to walk you down the isle (traditionally anyways), your dad and her have a huge bill to pay (and that's traditionally speaking.... you may have had to pay for it yourself... I don't know your details...), She might as well have some sort of fun with the whole thing....If that limo ride is something she wants...welll... That being said... In the long run.. It's up to you and your situation - and have fun!
