What would you think if.....

Question

What would you think if the groom walked his mom and grandma up to be seated, and then DIDN'T seat the brides mom and grandmas.... but rather an usher, or someone else did?

Answer 1

It's up to the Bride to make sure her family gets her seated. Usually the bride's mom and g'mom don't walk down the aisle. So, an usher has to sit them. I am having my mom walk down the aisle with my two daughters and they can all seat themselves!!!  

Answer 2

I would think He is a Gentleman & the Brides side of the family was lacking...

Answer 3

I agree with you, I would tell them to be careful about leaving a bad impression on the new inlaws... it could start things off on the wrong note.

Answer 4

well i think he should have done that

but looking to it from another angle

maybe he just didnt mean that and it was not deliberate

As he may got confused or something

I think it is shame on him and should make up for them

still it is not a big problem

Answer 5

Thats how it is suppose to be. It's not the grooms job to walk the brides family down the aisle.  

Answer 6

Sounds fine to me. He is her son and her grandson, after all. I think the groom seating his parents is fine. An usher will suffice for the MoB if she doesn't have a son of her own who wants to do it.  

Answer 7

I think its up to the groom to decide  who he wants to walk down the seats.

Answer 8

I think the groom should walk both. Maybe both moms together and go back for the grandma's? or have an equally important person walk the grandmas

Answer 9

I have never heard of a groom walking the bride's mom or anyone else down.  The groom is not an usher.  I think it's fine.  Is the groom's dad escorting the bride or something?

I think it's perfectly fine for the groom to concern himself with his own parents just as the bride will concern herself with her own parents.

Answer 10

Sounds like stupid nit-picking to me...as long as the mother of the bride and the grandmas are ushered I can't see what the belly aching is all about...jeeze...

Answer 11

All the weddings I've been to have included the ushers escorting all female relatives down the aisle Not the groom.

Even at my wedding the groom did not escort his mother down the aisle.

That's why you have ushers.

Answer 12

I have never been to a wedding where the groom walked the brides family down.  What is he supposed to do? Turn around and go get them? That would look really weird.

Answer 13

well i think that would be disrespectful!!!!

Answer 14

I think it is ABSOLUTELY wonderful!

The groom walking his grandma and his Mommy down to be seated shows his love and respect for them.

And then he takes his place to meet the new most important woman in his life.

The brides usher choice (a brother or cousin?) should seat the mob. She gets seated last before the bride walks down the aisle.

If they don't have a person that is special on the brides side..then an usher will do nicely.  

Answer 15

I'm getting married in 4 weeks. My fiance is escorting his own mother down the aisle because he loves her and wants to show her how important she is to him. She is 90 years old and we did not want someone that she barely knows to escort her. I think it will be a touching, memorable moment for my groom and his mother to share.  After his mother is seated he will be joining the Best Man and the minister in the room off the sanctuary where they will wait to make their entrance.

My son will be escorting my mother (his grandmother) , with step-dad following and then will come back to escort me at the appropriate time.

Our grandmothers are deceased.

  It is your friends wedding.  What does she have to say about it? I've never been to a wedding where the groom escorts any of the bride's family to their seats.

Answer 16

The Groom should also sit the Bride's Grandma.  The MOB is one of the last people to be seated before the wedding begins, by which time the Groom should be standing in his place at the alter, so it's not an insult.

If I could do my wedding over, I would handle this the European way... the Groom walked down the aisle by his Mom & Dad, the same way the Bride is.  Why should he/his family be treated like second class citizens.
