I'm the mother of the bride and my husband and I are paying for our daughters (dd) entire wedding. Her fiance chose not to ask her brother who she is very close to, to be in their wedding even though our daughter had voiced her feelings to him regarding it. Our future son in law has never met our son since he lives in another state but he and his wife will be coming to the wedding since DD asked our daughter in law, our son's wife to be her matron of honor. My question is, would it be okay to have our son be an usher at the wedding so that he may escort me and other guests to their sits? He would need to rent a tuxedo as well but not stand with the rest of the groomsmen (6 of them). How does one approach this suggestion without sounding like one is not trying to decide on who the groom has in his wedding? I believe our DD is trying not to make waves and tell her future husband how to do things.
You may request that your son seat you at the ceremony, but that does not mean he is usher or a part of the bridal party. Your son in law to be would have to ask him to be an usher or groomsman, but you are within your rights to request that he do the honor seating for you.

If we have our son escort me down the aisle for the ceremony, should he also be wearing a tuxedo? We sure wouldn't want him to look out of place in the family picture when it is taken since he would be the only one not wearing one.
