     Can Groom walk MOB down aisle  

I am having a destination wedding where my fiance's parents decided not to participate. I want my mom to be escorted to her seat. Can she walk down aisle with the groom or should my brother walk her down?

Dear Brisa,

Not all can attend a destination wedding. So, please don't be offended in your future inlaws don't attend.

Normally a groomsman escorts your mother. The best man could. If you don't have attendants, your brother definitely could. If this is an informal wedding, your fiance could on his way to the alter.

Please note that the couple is financially responsible for their attendant's lodging for the destination wedding.

Best wishes,

I agree that your brother, not the groom, should escort your mother. It's increasinglly common for the groom to escort his own mother, but it would be awkward for him to escort yours.

His sister is going, representing his side of the family. Could he walk down the aisle with her or is it just for mothers?

Usually the groom doesn't usher anyone in. But if this is a very intimate, very informal or non-traditional ceremony, he could usher his sister in then take his place.

I agree. Informal weddings lend themselves to more non-traditional elements.
