Single file line every one!

I've been stressing about the walking-down-the-aisle order for some time.

Why would I worry about something like that? Well...
  • We won't have grandparents in attendance.
  • Mr. SB's mom doesn't have a date or a male relative.
  • We don't really have traditional ushers.
  • My mom is having three brothers in attendance and doesn't want to pick just one as an escort. And all three would look ridiculous.
  • Our wedding party is super small.
So... right. All of the postings of "this is how you do it" don't really apply. I think our way of "doing it" will be as follows.

  • Mr. SB walks his mom. (Not typical. I know.)
  • My mom + ringbearer (My little brother.)
  • Best Man (He can't be standing alone at the front is Mr. SB is walking in with his mom as part of the processional)
  • Maid of Honor
  • Bride + dad
Really and truly, I'd love suggestions. This just doesn't seem quite right still...

    I think you've got it, and I think it's great! To me, it wouldn't just be Mr. SB walking his mom, but also...Mom walking Mr. SB. I think it's a neat way for her to be part of his transition to this new part of his life.

    Also, if you don't want the Best Man to walk alone, you could consider having the Best Man and MOH connect in the back of the aisle, and walk up together. Just a thought! I think it's all good, though, and Mom + Ringbearer is a cute idea :)

    I think your comment about Nick & his mom is really sweet... I'll mention that to them to think of it that way.

    And yeah, my mom'll get a kick out of walking with the little guy (who'll be in a mini-me version of my dad's tux :)
